The Episode: What's Happened and What's Going On

How It Happened: When the group traveled to Richmond, Virginia to reunite Noah with his community, they instead found that the community had been destroyed, and while making a stop at Noah's house, a walker snuck up on and bit Tyreese while he was distracted. Though Rick and the gang cut off his arm in the hopes they could stop the spread, too much time had passed and too much blood had been lost, and Ty succumbed to his injuries as they rushed to get him help.

Why It Was Great: Like many characters before and since, Tyreese was one of the true good guys, a man of morals who just wanted the best for everyone, and watching him hallucinate deceased characters and give in to letting go of a world he had no place in was both bittersweet and poignant.
