The Walking Dead: Every Season 10 Episode Ranked Worst To Best
8. What It Always Is
After saving Lydia but accidentally killing someone in the process, Negan realises his time is running out. Luckily, he's freed by a then-unknown assailant, and heads out into the world to see if he can make it.
A spiritual successor to season nine's Adaptation, What It Always Is is another hour of Negan trying to find his place, only to have his hope shattered when a tag-along fan of his bludgeons an innocent family to death.
Bringing Negan into contact with the Whisperers for the first time, the episode is a major turning point for the trajectory of the central conflict, and a big moment for Negan, who up until this point has mostly been trapped in a cell. From here, the rest of the season would only get better.
