On Dec 1, 2013, "The Walking Dead" season 4 episode 8 saw the bloody battle between the prison members and Governor's army. The fans witnessed the devastating and brutal slaying of Hershel Greene, thanks to the one-eyed monster, Governor. The episode concluded with the prison group split-up. There are lots of possibilities in terms of character development as well as the storyline.

Let's have a look at some of the major spoilers.

He is walking backwards with a piece of meat in his hand. He is taking them away from the house. "Just wait, all I will say is just wait for what this kid [Chandler Riggs] is going to do this season. He I think has done one of the best episodes certainly this season, and he kind of carries it. It's beautiful what he's done," said Andrew Lincoln to Comicbook.com.

4. Death of a major character: One of the main cast members, who will die by the end of "TWD" season 4. This major cast member or character is not dead in the comic books. Will Glenn die?
