In a word? GASP!

Via Entertainment Weekly, AMC has unveiled a first look photo from The Walking Dead Season 5 - and it appears to spell trouble for fan favorite Daryl Dixon.

The picture features Daryl gagged, bound and bloodied.

Who is responsible for this act?!? Those evil doers at Terminus? And how will Daryl get out of such a situation? He WILL get out... right? Right??
