Dante's Infiltration of Alexandria is a major event that occurred during the tenth season of AMC's The Walking Dead.
History[]
Getting In[]
Dante had recently joined The Whisperers and was present at the barn massacre. Alpha orders Dante, due to his loyalty (and because Lydia doesn't know him) to join Alexandria as her spy and sabotage the community from the inside for the impending war.
Dante then wanders in the woods for some time until he finds a group of survivors and pretends to be in need of rescue from walkers. After joining them, he and the group are encountered by the Alexandria residents and are brought into the community. Dante then offers his services as a doctor to avoid suspicion while working as a spy.
Causing Paranoia[]
In "Silence the Whisperers", Dante follows Alpha's orders to spread paranoia by painting graffiti over the walls and streets of Alexandria during the night.
The Sickness[]
Sometime after Eugene leaves for Hilltop, Dante sabotages the water pumps in Alexandria so that the residents would fall sick from unknowingly drinking contaminated water, thus weakening the colony, while staying inconspicuous by keeping other survivors informed of the status of Alexandria and helping other sick residents by giving them water to drink, which would keep them sick, as only he knew that the water was contaminated.
Found Out[]
Signs of betrayal within the colony of Alexandria first become possible when Dante lies about Siddiq indirectly getting him to put hemlock in the Captured Whisperer's system after putting it in Dante's bag, killing him, when in truth Dante did it to prevent the Whisperer, who showed signs of recognizing him, from revealing his status to the Survivors in case he cracked. Siddiq also realizes through flashbacks of handing sick residents water in previous episodes that the water has been tampered with when near the water pumps. When talking to Siddiq during "Open Your Eyes", Dante says a particular quote that makes Siddiq have a PTSD-induced flashback which reveals Dante in a Whisperer mask, saying the same quote while the execution of his friends from the barn massacre occurs. Siddiq looks at Dante in shock, realizing that he is the infiltrator who spread paranoia and tampered with the water pumps. Dante then strangles Siddiq after he tries to attack him, while exclaiming that he didn't want it to do this to him. After Siddiq is killed, Rosita stumbles upon Dante, who attempts to distract her, as Siddiq reanimates, which is heard by her, and gets into a tussle with Dante, while her daughter lies in a bathtub to be devoured by a zombified Siddiq while he fights her. Ultimately, she stabs and knocks Dante out and rescues Coco, putting down Siddiq. After being questioned in the infirmary, Dante is imprisoned and later stabbed to death by Gabriel Stokes in a blind rage while in his cell.
Beta's Invasion[]
As a result of Dante's infiltration, Beta was able to invade Alexandria and managed to kill several civilians and Laura. However, he agrees to leave when Mary surrenders herself to him, only to be forced to retreat by returning Coalition soldiers.
