Only one episode remains in 'The Walking Dead''s fourth season, and while we don't yet know if the mysterious "Terminus" will provide genuine shelter, it may yet serve to reunite the wayward groups before the finale. Our first sneak peek of next Sunday's season 4 closer "A" has arrived, and it seems Rick, Michonne and Carl may have gone somewhat off the beaten path, to even greater dangers ahead.

While we last saw the trio keeping to the helpful railroad tracks, our first sneak peek of 'The Walking Dead' season 4 finale "A" sees Rick showing Carl how to craft a rabbit trap for hunting purposes, no doubt preparing in case Terminus fails to live up to expectations. An errant scream calls Carl's attention, though it doesn't seem to belong to anyone we know, so might we meet some new survivors before season 4 comes to an end?

Meanwhile, here's what AMC had to say of next week's finale event "A":

Many paths collide; Rick faces sheer brutality; the group struggles to survive.

Given the repetition of "brutality" with other prior synopses, we might wonder if Rick finally comes to meet Joe and his brutal group of survivors on the road to Terminus, wherein Daryl would be faced with a difficult choice of which figure to side with. No doubt a few bodies will pile up before the end, but who will endure to arrive and survive at Terminus?

Check out the first sneak peek from 'The Walking Dead' season 4 finale "A" above, and tell us in the comments who you think will make it through the end next Sunday night!
