30 Greatest Ever Moments In The Walking Dead
3. The Border Massacre
Alpha did plenty of terrible things before she cemented herself as the show's most vicious villain, whether it was abusing her daughter, taunting the communities, or just being generally terrifying in her quest for power, but she certainly one-upped herself near the end of season nine.
First showing off her monstrous horde of walkers, she announces to Daryl she's set up a border the communities aren't allowed to cross. She then lets Daryl, Michonne and their group go free, neglecting to tell them that the border in question has been made with spikes decorated with the heads of their family and friends.
The reveal of who's died, mixed with interspersed scenes of people back home looking for them, makes for harrowing viewing, and concludes one of the finest hours the show's ever had in particularly heartbreaking fashion.
