I wonder what's going to happen with Rick in the trailer.

Shane, Dale, Andrea, Lori, Herschel, Beth...just to name a few of the main characters that have been killed off.
I seriously hope that Glenn isn't dead, but I find it difficult to see how he can survive that situation. They spent a couple of moments in the episode that were touching and perhaps as a lead into Glenn's fate, taking a moment to look at Herschel's watch before leaving for that doomed mission, calling Rick a dumbass via walkie as a callback to their first conversation in season 1. Of course, all elements considered this could be nothing more than clever misdirection by the writers & producers of the show.
This next part I say with the utmost caution because I know how much some in this thread dislike the mention of the comics, keeping in mind that the producers of the show aren't always 100% true to the source material, but there is a big moment that takes place with Glenn in the series that had a huge impact to the characters & became one of the biggest moments in that particular story line. But like I said to begin with, I find it very difficult to see how Glenn can come out of that situation alive.
And lastly, here is something from Scott Gimple, who released a statement to be read on the Talking Dead after last night's episode regarding Glenn's fate:

"Dear fans of The Walking Dead, this is a hard story to tell, and when we were planning to tell it, we knew our friends over at Talking Dead would be talking to you about it, and knowing you’d talking and feeling and commiserating, I knew we should say something about it, lest our silence say something we didn’t mean to say or not say so I will say this," Gimple wrote. "In some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts Glenn again, either in flashback, or current story, to help complete the story."

Ambiguous perhaps, but I hope they don't keep us waiting too long to find out what happens. Next episode is another 90 minute affair, lots to this current story line still, with perhaps a bit of flashbacks dealing with Morgan's road to Zen-dom.
I'll finish with this...because reading through the posts I didn't see anything regarding this character, but remember that Inid leaves Alexandria. Whether her story will collide with Rick's or Glenn's we will hopefully find out next week. Or she's a spy for the Wolves or another group of baddies?
