During the Season 6 finale, we witnessed Negan brutally beating someone to death with a barbed wire bat. In the Season 7 premiere, that person is revealed to be Abraham.

Far away from Negan and his torment, Carol and Morgan are taken to “The Kingdom”, another group of survivors, led by King Ezekiel.

Episode 3 “The Cell”
Captured as a hostage by Negan, we see Daryl being tormented by his captives. Determined to make him one of them, they torment him to no avail. Dwight, Negan’s crony, is sent on a mission to track down an escapee, who he kills rather than take him back to be tormented.
Episode 4 “Service”
Negan and his crew show up a day early to get their supplies. They confiscate most of the furniture, the medicine, and all of the guns. Rick, who by now is a shell of his former self, encourages the group to comply with Negan for their own good. Rosita convinces Eugene to make her a bullet.
Episode 5 “Go Getters”

She is given directions back to Alexandria and sworn to secrecy.

With the help of Jesus, Daryl finally escapes the Sanctuary. Spencer, the snake that he is, attempts to ingratiate himself to Negan, who balks at his duplicity and kills him. Rosita, enraged, uses the bullet Eugene made for her to shoot her one shot: which hits Lucille instead of Negan. Olivia pays the price with her life.
Episode 9 “Rock in the Road

Episode 11 “Hostiles and Calamities”
Eugene finds a way to become besties with Negan. Two of Negan’s wives convince Eugene to make poison capsules, but he won’t let them poison his bro.

Morgan also tells Carol the truth about the fates of Abraham, Glen, and others. This convinces her to finally stop being selfish and come fight.
Episode 14 “The Other Side”
The Saviors spring up at the Hilltop, forcing Maggie and Daryl underground. At the Sanctuary, Rosita and Sasha try to convince Eugene to make an escape, but he won’t leave his bestie. Sasha convinces Rosita that Alexandria needs her and she should go back, which she does.
Episode 15 “Something They Need”
Tara rats Oceanside out in hopes of getting their help to fight Negan. They refuse to come fight, but agree to provide guns. Negan discovers Sasha and imprisons her, tells her he is well aware of Rick’s plot to take him out, and tells her she needs to go help. Sasha asks Eugene to help her find a way to commit suicide, and he gives her one of his poison capsules. What are friends for?
Episode 16 “The First Day of the Rest of Your Life”
Negan throws Sasha in a coffin to confront Rick with, but Sasha has the last laugh. She commits suicide on the way with one of Eugene’s poisoned capsules.
