In an episode that had so much going on, one of the most memorable and shocking parts of The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment of gore centred around an unfortunate walker.

Upon Rick being forced to take refuge on a hanged walker, said member of the undead didn’t fare all that well with the full weight of Rick Grimes hanging from his decayed torso. In fact, in just one of many gory happenings in this season premiere, the poor undead soul saw Rick’s weight literally pull this walker’s body from his head.

Granted, this walker didn’t have quite the backstory or history of some of the bigger casualties of The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be, but his stretchy, saggy demise was certainly a memorable one.
