The Walking Dead: 10 Best Characters Who Only Appeared In One Episode
3. Dave
Dave is the first character that Rick is forced to kill during the apocalypse. Along with his friend, Tony, Dave interrogates Rick about his camp's whereabouts in season two's 'Nebraska.' When Rick refuses to give up any information, Dave becomes increasingly frustrated and reaches for his gun but Rick doesn't hesitate. Dave and Tony are instantly put down in one of the most chilling endings to an episode on The Walking Dead.
Dave was the first real human threat that Rick had encountered up until that point, shifting the danger from zombies to people. Dave was a great representation of that danger because he doesn't come off as outwardly villainous. If anything, Dave taught us to be extra cautious of strangers who are being overtly chummy and talktative.
Killing Dave and Tony was a huge turning point for Rick, testing the limits of what he's willing to do in order to survive.
