The Episode: Hearts Still Beating

How It Happened: Disillusioned with Rick's leadership, Spencer took advantage of a visit by Negan and the Saviors while Rick was away to try and convince Negan to kill Rick and make him leader instead. Negan saw through Spencer's cowardice, though, and gutted him in front of a number of Alexandrians, leaving it to Rick to put him down once he turned later on.

Why It Was Great: Unlike his noble mother, Spencer turned out to be a snake in the grass, a selfish, self-important guy whose downfall was inevitable, and his death by Negan was a satisfying end for a character few have missed since.
