30 Greatest Ever Moments In The Walking Dead
8. Look At The Flowers
If you were to pick the most tragic character in The Walking Dead, chances are you'd be inclined to chose Carol, a loving woman traumatised by years of abuse who, despite becoming a full-blown superhero in the apocalypse, has a knack for losing children she takes under her care.
We'll get to her first real heartbreak in a bit, but for now we're focussing on her season four relationship with the orphans Lizzie and Mika Samuels, two troubled souls not made for the new world.
Unable to comprehend the dangers of the undead, Lizzie kills her sister so she can come back as a walker, which forces Carol to shoot Lizzie dead in a bid to put her out of her confused misery. It's a vital scene in Carol's development, and one that proved just how harrowing the show could be.
