Trivia[]

  • Hershel Greene's pocket watch seems to make the rounds in this episode. It originally belonged to the late Hershel Greene, who likely got it from an older relative. He gave it to Glenn Rhee as a wedding gift to his daughter, Maggie. Glenn carried it for a while until it was recovered following his death. Maggie placed it on Glenn's grave, but then Gregory stole it. Maggie recovered it, and then gave it to Enid.
  • Carl Grimes sucks at darts. He doesn't hit the dart board even once. In fairness, he only has one eye, so I guess we can cut the kid some slack.
  • Maggie Greene refers to herself by her married name, Maggie Rhee, for the first time in this episode. This is also the first time that Glenn Rhee's surname has ever been referenced in the television series.

Allusions[]

Zombie kill of the week[]

  • While Jesus and Sasha do a respectable job at fending off walkers with their knives, and Jesus gets to show off his martial arts skills, it is Maggie Greene for the win, who flattens at least four walkers with a huge tractor, which she then uses to run over a car.
