In the comics during his first appearance, Dwight assaults Alexandria on Negan's behalf. It does not go well, thanks to Eugene's (Josh McDermitt) bite being bigger than Dwight's bark. (Leaving that one alone …) On the show, Dwight escapes after Eugene makes his move, but in the comics, he's captured and tossed into an Alexandrian holding cell. Is Daryl currently taking on Dwight's imprisonment storyline, or will Dwight eventually find his way into the prison cell that Morgan (Lennie James) created back in season six?
2. The Fugitive
In any case, Dwight does not stay behind bars for long. Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) issues the order to release Dwight, in order to stave off any future problems with Negan. But Rick has a secret plan, as he often does. He sends Jesus (Tom Payne) to secretly follow Dwight back to the Sanctuary, so they can learn how to find Negan's primary headquarters. Mission accomplished, even if the mission contains a few more bumps in the road than expected. If this turn makes its way onto the show, then Dwight's carelessness could contribute to Rick's people gaining an advantage against Negan.
3. The Double Agent
Not that Dwight won't mind turning the tables on his old boss, as clearly evidenced in "The Cell," and made even more explicit in the comics. When Rick finally meets King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) to join forces against the Saviors, Ezekiel reveals a surprise partner in the war: Dwight. Turns out, he's not so happy living under Negan's thumb, and he wants to do everything in his power to help take the man down. The show laid track for Dwight's dissatisfaction with Negan, so it's easy enough to see how he might turn against his boss in a future episode...."
