Henry

Yea aI wonder that as well.

I think it could be Daryl, except he adopts her as his daughter. Remember last episode I think it was Siddiq who told him he would be a good father. Plus she is experienced at living in the woods and also suffered abuse. When the war comes to the Hilltop, it could be Daryl who gets everybody out like Carl did in the comic version.

I don't get how Lydia is not in total shock, and how could she stand to live there after being responsible for everyone's death and a coming war? Totally fake.

Enid's boyfriend likes them young so job opportunity for him.

I don't think they intended him as a clone of Carl. He was taking on those parts of his comic story that Judith couldn't. Henry's character was written with his adopted parents in mind. His kindness and moral compass came from Ezekiel. And he had that core of toughness like Carol, but not enough really bad ѕhit had happened to him yet to fully bring it out. He did some gutsy things. But he was still a few horrible traumas away from pouring gasoline on people in the middle of the night and lighting them up.

This latest episode just reinforces one of TWDs main lessons: if you're a kid, you're pretty much screwed. :)

In other words he was a teenager who acted like one.

He was an idiot. But, he took Carl's story line with Lydia, so I was pretty shocked by his death.

I get that. Yea Carol has been through so much, but really what would you expect in a world like they live in.

You are joking right?

Right. But from what I've heard, the relationship between Carl and Lydia in the comics is central to the Whisperer story. Lydia's character will have to follow a completely different arc now. That's why Henry's death was surprising. At least this early in the game.
