10 Times The Walking Dead Traumatised Fans
7. Look At The Flowers
Season 4 Episode 14: "The Grove."
Following the destruction of the prison, Carol and Tyreese are forced to protect baby Judith and sisters, Lizzie and Mika, as they seek shelter in an abandoned farmhouse.
However, Lizzie begins to show disturbing signs of psychopathy as she fails to understand the real danger that walkers pose. Lizzie believes walkers to be her friends as she is seen playing with one in the garden.
To prove her point, Lizzie murders her sister Mika and urges Carol and Tyreese to wait for her to come back as a walker so they can see that she's still the same.
In one of the most emotionally harrowing moments in the entire show, Carol decides that Lizzie can no longer be trusted around people and that, for her own safety, she must be killed.
Carol leads Lizzie to the bottom of the garden and tells her to look at the flowers before Carol shoots her.
Why is this traumatising? Because it's a utterly devastating moment. Carol, having already lost a daughter of her own, is forced to end the life of a confused girl. It's a situation that no person would ever be prepared for and one that has stuck in the memory of Walking Dead fans as the show's saddest moment.
