He is playing Negan like a fiddle. Eugene's will to survive at any cost is admirable and he plays the game well. He doesn't let anything sidetrack him. Once he understands the lay of the land he goes to work. He admitted to Abraham and Co that he was a terrific liar and that is what saved his cowardly butt. I believe he is still Team Alexandria and is just doing what he has to do for now since he knows he can't escape. Why not take advantage of his position there and collect intel that he can use later?
