The beautifully-shot fall of the Hilltop ranks among director Greg Nicotero’s very best contributions to the series. That’s about as “good” a death as anyone can get on The Walking Dead, and resembles Rick’s own epic “demise” to save his family. Fast cuts of Daryl, Carol, Ezekiel, Rosita, Aaron, Yumiko, Eugene, Lydia, and more fighting off the walker horde with archaic weapons drive the scene toward its inevitable conclusion –the Hilltop won’t survive this Whisperer assault. We always knew the Whisperer formerly known as Gamma (Thora Birch) was not long for this world. Meanwhile, Eugene's group encounters Princess. Back at Hilltop, the group deals with an unexpected safety issue. Carol pushes boundaries that make Daryl uncomfortable. The Queen simply remarks, “Took you long enough.”. Alden shoots an arrow through her skull, ending her life once and for all. The 12th episode of The Walking Dead season 10, titled “Walk With Us,” opens with a riveting and apocalyptic battle sequence that ends way too quickly.
A clumsy-ish Walking Dead episode was saved by a wicked war-ending twist. The leader of the Whisperers dies at the hands of Negan, who slits her throat and cuts off her head, much like he did in the comics. Lydia, meanwhile, finds herself in a different cabin far from her mother and safe from harm.

While it’s Alpha’s encouraged rape culture that finally convinces Negan that the time is right to pull the plug on the Whisperer leader in the comics, the TV version of this scene plays with cringey sexual tension (they share one last awful kiss), as Negan leads Alpha to Lydia, whom he’s locked in a cabin but not the one her mother thinks. The 12th episode of The Walking Dead season 10, titled “Walk With Us,” opens with a riveting and apocalyptic battle sequence that ends way too … But Negan won’t condone the murder of a child — not to mention that he’d already sacrificed his freedom once to protect Lydia — and tells Alpha that her beliefs are bullshit. All rights reserved. The fight is barely a fight, as the hulking Whisperer carves up her abdomen, letting her die and turn into a walker. He knows there’s only one thing left to do.
But, as Judith discovers later, by saving the children, Earl has made this his final sacrifice for the community he loves. More Reviews by Matt Fowler. Tensions are high as our heroes struggle to hold onto their concept of civilization. It’s revealed that the blacksmith has been bitten in the arm, and the time to sever the limb to stop the infection has come and gone. And with almost two seasons-worth of episodes as the show’s main antagonist, Alpha’s (Samantha Morton) days were certainly numbered. It’s Earl (John Finn) who finds Judith after Ezekiel loses her in the cloud of smoke enveloping the settlement. Fans of The Walking Dead comic book always knew this day would come. Mary gets to hold the baby one final time before her death, and some might even say that was too good for the former Whisperer, but at least we see her humanity return in these moments.
