Negan wants Maggie to make up her mind about the Dama, as Maggie was the one who wanted to keep her. But she no longer seems fully confident that keeping her alive was the right choice.

Maggie believes in giving people a second chance, and that could be the reason she wants to spare the Dama. However, the Dama comes with a bigger risk, as she knows how to influence people and stir up things.
But Negan has other plans. Negan goes into the Dama's cell and stabs her with Maggie's knife, making it look like she took her life instead of someone killing her.
