'The Walking Dead: World Beyond' Episode 7: Did Silas kill Tony, Percy to punish the latter for befriending Iris?
Spoilers for 'The Walking Dead: World Beyond' Episode 7: 'Truth or Dare'
Is Hal Cumpston's Silas a killer? That would be the question on fans' minds after the shocking final minutes of 'Truth or Dare'. The episode takes a look at Huck's (Annet Mahendru) troubled past and adds a twist in the final moments by showing the dead body of Tony (Scott Adsit), a conman-turned-ally for the group of teens. Percy (Ted Sutherland) is shown to be missing and for now, all fingers seem to be pointing at Silas for the gory murder.
One of the reasons to believe Silas was the murderer was due to the anger and jealousy he felt as Percy and Iris (Aliyah Royale) get closer. Sutherland's character was introduced in Episode 6: 'Shadow Puppets' as a conman who makes off with the teens' supplies with his uncle, Tony. However, the duo has a change of heart and returns back to handover the things. In the latest episode, Percy and Iris get closer and bond over art, much to Silas' chagrin.
As one part of the story gets into explaining Huck's past, the other half sees Percy make Iris feel special by setting up a mini-museum of sorts at the building they take shelter in. When Iris searches for Percy, she finds a dead Tony instead while Percy is nowhere to be seen. The shocked group finds Silas in one of the toilets hopelessly drunk. While we can assume that Tony was killed by Silas, it would have been more of the uncle defending his nephew as Silas was going after Percy.
Tony was closer to Elton (Nicolas Cantu) and this may have some effect on the geeky teen who's falling for Hope (Alexa Mansour). This act, if committed by Silas, might also see some friction in the group, especially between him and Iris. The earlier episodes hinted Iris and Silas would be well on track to be in a relationship, however, this turn of events is shocking and might just change the storyline. There's enough room for speculation if Felix (Nico Tortorella) might kick him out from the group as he is now a risk to be with.
The next question: Is Percy alive? With the teen nowhere to be found, chances are he's escaped with Tony sacrificing his life for the teen. If so, where is he now. Guess we have another week to wait for.
'The Walking Dead: World Beyond' airs Sundays at 10 pm ET on AMC.
