Goodbye Alpha. You were an evil bitch, but a damn fine villain.
Tonight's episode of
The Walking Dead culled the herd with three character deaths (one main, two supporting), and the leader of The Whisperers was among them. Tricked into believing her daughter Lydia was being held captive in a barn, Alpha wound up on the wrong end of Negan's blade.
It turns out the former Savior was working undercover after all, and it also looks like Carol was the one that let him out of his cell in the first place. The question is, if she made this deal with Negan, why was she so determined to kill Alpha herself and even put her friends in danger to do so? Maybe he simply wasn't moving fast enough for her liking.
Mary/Gamma also met her maker tonight. The former Whisperer ensured her nephew was safe with Alden and Kelly before distracting a group of walkers and dispatching them by the river, but Beta was waiting and stuck a knife in her guts. Finally, Earl was bitten while getting the kids to safety after the attack on Alexandria, and Judith was forced to put him down when he turned.
The Walking Dead has been top notch since it returned for the second half of its tenth season, but it remains to be seen if it can maintain that level of quality moving forward. Next week, Danai Gurira makes her final appearance as Michonne. Check out the promo below, and let us know what you thought of "Walk With Us" in the comments.
