The finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 left fans reeling, especially regarding Ginny’s fate. This article explores her journey and the implications of her death.
What Happened to Ginny in The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2’s Ending
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 8, “If History Were a Conflagration.” The ending of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 set the stage for more action in a potential third installment. Despite Ginny’s uncertain fate leading into the finale, the spinoff provided a definitive conclusion to her story. Though she is one of the least vocal characters in the entire franchise, Ginny became one of Dead City‘s most important characters, primarily through her relationship with Negan. They developed a father-daughter-like bond throughout the first season, but this dynamic shifted dramatically when Negan confessed to killing her father, prompting Ginny to steal a gun in season 2 and seek revenge.
While her plan remained consistent throughout the season, a significant injury complicated her quest for vengeance. Initially, her wound appeared to be a zombie bite, but fortunately, it was just a regular injury. However, the impalement she suffered left a severe gash, and she refused to seek medical attention, resulting in her collapse during a confrontation with Negan. This led to a dramatic moment in the finale as we awaited her fate.
Ginny Died From An Infection Caused By A Regular Wound
She Sustained The Injury While Fighting Walkers In Episode 5 But Never Got Proper Medical Treatment
Despite Negan’s best efforts, he was unable to save Ginny, even after risking his life to acquire medical supplies. With no designated doctor in the Burazi, Negan took it upon himself to rescue Ginny in Dead City season 2’s penultimate episode, traveling to Bellevue Hospital. After several close calls and hallucinations, he found a machine that he brought back to the Burazi’s base, attempting to save her. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, as Ginny tragically succumbed to her infection.
Having neglected her injury for what seemed like days, it had become too severe by the time Negan could provide aid. Perhaps a proper doctor might have saved her, but she was left alone while Negan fought Bruegel’s faction in the finale. The machine wasn’t enough to save her, and as Negan descended further into villainy, prioritizing his war with Bruegel, Ginny passed away and turned into a walker.
