I think they are setting Rick up to be the White Knight. All season long they have been beating him down, belittling him, and vilifying him. It culminated in last night's episode.
Deanna and the town will vote to exile him early in the episode, but at that moment the evil W people attack the town or threaten to attack. Rick successfully defends the town via force or negotiation, but not after many Alexandrians die. Deanna (and everyone else including our gang) realize they should have listened to Rick since day 1. End Season. Applause. See you in September.
Basically if Rick, Daryl or Glen die, the show will suck. Carol too. I wouldn't wanna see Carl bite the dust, but I'd still watch.
