The Episode: Too Far Gone

How It Happened: During The Governor's final assault on the prison, he came to vicious blows with Rick, who he quickly overpowered. Before he could kill his nemesis, however, Michonne ran her katana through him from behind and saved Rick's life, and though she left him to bleed out and die, a distraught Lilly later found him and put a bullet in his head.

Why It Was Great: After all he'd done and all the lives he'd claimed, The Governor's death was long overdue, and there's something to be said for how fitting it is that Lilly, whose life he truly and selfishly ruined, was the one to finally end him.
