"Here's Negan" is the twenty-second and final episode of the tenth season of AMC's The Walking Dead. It is the one-hundred and fifty-third episode of the series overall. It premiered on April 4, 2021. It was written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and directed by Laura Belsey.
With Maggie back at Alexandria, Carol takes Negan on a journey to minimize the increasing tension. There, Negan reflects on his late wife Lucille and the events that led him to this point.
Negan works on rebuilding in Alexandria with Barbara while Maggie, walking with Hershel, glares at him from across the street.
Negan later accompanies Carol hunting and thanks her for getting him out of Alexandria for a while due to how tense things currently are with Maggie. Although he doesn't mind being "lay low Negan" for a bit, Negan asks if Carol can help him smooth things over with Maggie, stating that given his and Carol's recent history, Negan feels that she at least owes him that much. Carol leads Negan to Leah's Cabin where he finds his belongings inside. Carol explains that Daryl helped her to move Negan in, as the council has voted to banish him and what Negan wants isn't going to happen. Carol feels that given their less recent history, it's better than what Negan deserves. Although disappointed, Negan accepts this and asks if he was really banished by the council or if Carol acted on her own again. With a smile, Carol tells Negan that the rabbit they caught is for him and leaves without answering Negan's question.
That night, as Negan sits drinking heavily by the fire, he hallucinates a younger version of himself sitting in a chair holding Lucille. The younger Negan taunts him about how Negan believed that the people in Alexandria would ever see him differently than who he truly is, the younger version of himself that had been the brutal leader of the Saviors. Negan calls his younger self a clown and "a cult of personality with no cult." The younger Negan reminds his older self that he had gotten a lot further as Negan, leader of the Saviors than he's gotten just by being kind. "It's time to face the facts old man: you are nothing without her," tapping Lucille. Enraged, Negan tosses his glass at the chair, shattering the glass and causing the hallucination to disappear.
The next day, carrying a shovel, Negan returns to the tree where he had fought Rick Grimes. He remembers Rick slitting his throat and Michonne telling him that they don't have Lucille, that the bat is "still out there." Negan begins digging holes around the tree while a walker slowly approaches him from across the field. After digging numerous holes, Negan finally hits something and, with a smile, recovers Lucille from where she had been buried for years.
Twelve years earlier, a terrified Negan is tied to a chair in a bar. Negan begs his captors to let him go as his wife has cancer and she needs the chemotherapy drugs in his cooler. Negan insists that keeping him there is killing both Negan and Lucille. Craven claims to be sympathetic to Negan's plight, but the bikers didn't find the doctors where Negan had claimed they had given him the drugs. Negan insists that the doctors move around and it isn't his fault, but Craven doesn't believe him. Craven is sure that, if the doctors had something as rare as chemotherapy drugs, they must have a lot of other stuff as well. With his hands bound, Negan finds a loose screw in his chair as Craven talks to him and begins unscrewing it, unnoticed by Craven. Craven promises that, if Negan helps them find the doctors, he will allow Negan to take the drugs to Lucille, but if he doesn't he will pour it down the toilet and make Negan watch. Craven punches Negan in the face and he agrees to tell Craven what he wants to know if he puts the drugs back into the cooler. Craven has one of his men return the drugs to the cooler and Negan starts to explain how the clinic is true and the doctors have a medical stockpile somewhere he doesn't know. Negan had been tracking them for weeks and had found them two or three days before.
Two or three days before, Negan, armed with a pistol, makes his way to a small campsite with RVs and two armed guards. Negan emerges and demands that the men drop their guns while Franklin tries to calm him down. Disoriented, Negan notices that the guards are both dummies just before Laura knocks him out from behind with a baseball bat.

•The time jumps in this episode place the start of the apocalypse, in 2010, as roughly twelve years and eight months prior to the present timeline, meaning the show currently takes place in roughly early 2022.
•Lucille's phone history shows the apocalypse began in mid-November. This is an error as the date, November 12, 2020, was during the production of the episode. Based on previous established timelines, the apocalypse began in August 2010.
•In a flashback, Negan is playing Gears of War 2 before the outbreak.
•One of the major storylines in Gears of War 2 contains soldier Dominic Santiago searching for his missing wife, Maria.

Dominic, in his heartbreak, euthanizes Maria - similar to Negan putting down Lucille.
