The Episode: No Way Out

How It Happened: After a midseason hiatus that left fans wondering how Daryl, Abraham, and Sasha were going to get out of their predicament of being stopped by a motorcycle-bound group of Saviors, the episode wasted no time in getting to the answer. With Daryl dragged away and Sasha and Abraham being threatened at gunpoint, all hope seemed lost, until Daryl unexpectedly saved the day by blowing away the entire gang with Abraham's rocket launcher.

Why It's On This List: We didn't get the chance to know (and hate) any of the Saviors for the event to be truly satisfying, but it was just so cool - and a great way to kick off the midseason premiere - that it was hard not to cheer when it happened. It also lulled viewers into a false sense of security about the Saviors themselves; after all, this was our first time meeting them, and it kicked off a run of episodes that saw Rick and the gang apparently steamrolling their way through killing the group, only for the rug to be pulled out in the season finale when the realization they'd severely underestimated the group came crashing down on them.
