The Walking Dead season 8: Mystery helicopter owner REVEALED amid Jadis' slip up?
THE WALKING DEAD’S enigmatic helicopter appearance has plagued the minds of fans since its appearance in the beginning of the season, but did Jadis just reveal who secretly owns it?
Preview: The Walking Dead season 8 episode 11
Warning: This story contains spoilers for The Walking Dead season eight: Episode ten.
Last night’s episode of the hit AMC show may provide the answer to the ownership of the rogue helicopter that was seen circling Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) after his scuffle with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus).
Season eight episode five “The Big Scary U” saw Rick and Daryl spotting the helicopter following their disagreement, without any mention of it since - leaving fans to assume it will come into play later on - but who owns it?
Episode ten “The Lost and the Plunderers”, which aired last night, saw mention of the vehicle again, as Simon (Steven Ogg) paid Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) and the Scavengers a visit at the junkyard.
Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) messenger arrived at the junkyard to threaten the Scavengers back into submission - after they betrayed the Saviors a couple episodes back.
During this confrontation Simon asked Jadis: "What's up with the helipad?"
Changing the subject entirely, Jadis refused to answer, leaving fans to suspect that Jadis has somehow claimed ownership of the helicopter.
With few friends left, Jadis could be left with little choice but to bring out the big guns in her current time of need, if she does in fact own it.
After double-crossing Rick earlier on in the season, and then taking on the Saviors, Jadis has certainly cut all ties with any potential allies, which could lead to her using her helicopter on both groups - if she does own it.
What's up with the helipad?
Later on in the episode Simon slaughtered all of the Scavengers, leaving Jadis as the lone survivor.
Forced to dispose of her former-allies’ reanimated corpses, she could be set to go on a warpath.
Last year, actress Pollyanna hinted that the helicopter could mean more than initially thought, when she told HuffPost: "I can't say anything. You either talk about a studio screw-up or you talk about a possible thing that might be part of a story.
“So either way I'm not doing the show justice."
On Jadis’ future, Pollyanna recently told ComicBook.com that she may shave her head and become the leader of the Whisperers.
It came after many fans believed she could be in line to transform into Alpha, a popular comicbook villain.
Pollyanna said of shaving her hair for the rumoured part: “Yeah, of course. I don't know what it would look like under there.
“I've cracked my head open twice, so I've got lots of stitches!"
The Walking Dead continues Monday on FOX UK.
