On last week's episode of
The Walking Dead, King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) faced near certain doom, as we at one point saw him at the business end of a Savior's pistol after he had been taken hostage. But out of nowhere his most trusted steward and personal bodyguard, Jerry (Cooper Andrews), snuck up on the attacker from behind and quite literally chopped him in half the long way.

"Jerry's workout: swing something heavy for a minute then load up on five sets of breakfast cobbler," Andrews writes with the post.
