The latest death to rock The Walking Dead paved the way for a surprising callback to a shocking moment many may have forgotten.
“Back in the prison when we got attacked, there was a kid – a little older than me,” a dying Carl tells Rick.
The majority of the episode was dedicated to scenes between Carl, his father Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) with the young boy attempting to impart some hard-earned wisdom to his father before passing on.
The Walking Dead season 8 continues on AMC every Sunday with the UK premiere arriving the next evening on FOX.
