Your television is going to be red on Valentine's Day as "The Walking Dead" marks its return for the second half of season 6 Feb. 14. Unfortunately, red is not about love when it comes to this show. Instead, it's going to be a bloody episode as a massacre is expected to happen.

Vanity Fair reported that "The Walking Dead" will have many deaths in what would be its biggest episode of the season. The teaser released just before 2015 closed showed the survivors wading through dangerous scenarios, including one that has them covered up in human blood and carcass just so they can get away undetected by the walkers. It's a trick that Rick and company have learned quite early on in the series, and they haven't been using the disguise unless in a desperate situation. 

So what could possibly go wrong? Watch the said teaser below:

Inquistr reported that many of the deaths likely involve Alexandria residents. However, since many of them are unknown, there could be little emotional connection to the viewers.  Among the speculated deaths include Jessie, the woman Rick has grown attached to in the previous episodes, and her children, Sam and Ron.

Apparently, in "The Walking Dead" comic books, Ron gets trapped among the walkers and Jessie goes back to save her eldest child. However, Rick's son, Carl, is also there to help Jessie, who literally gives Jessie his hand as she tries to reach her son. However, Ron and Jessie both get bitten by the walkers, leaving Carl to continue holding on dangerously for Jessie's hand. To save Carl, Rick cuts off Jessie's hand from his son's grip.

Carl's struggles are far from over though as he might accidentally shot in the episode's return, per Movie Pilot. It's a storyline that has also appeared in the comic books, but it's still unclear who the shooter is in the TV show.

Carl will survive, but he will lose his eyesight and eventually develop psychological damage. The character's change is part of another plot that will feature Negan, the villain coming to terrorize "The Walking Dead" survivors. He's partly responsible for the Valentine's Day massacre.

"He's charismatic and funny. And even sort of friendly. But he just kills, and it doesn't bother him," said showrunner Scott Gimple when asked to describe Negan via TV Line.

Viewers can also expect a major death in the succeeding episodes, per executive producer Greg Nicotero via Comic Book. The show has been laying the ground for this in the past episodes based on the comic books in the past episodes.
