The Walking Dead: Every Season 10 Episode Ranked Worst To Best

Before Alpha meets her maker, though, there's Morning Star, an episode that perfectly balances all of The Walking Dead's biggest virtues into one episode of catharsis and fiery action.

As Alpha prepares to attack, Daryl rallies Hilltop together, finding peace with Ezekiel, comforting Judith, and making small, fragile peace with Carol before heading into battle. Carol also finds peace with ex-husband Ezekiel, and Eugene bags himself a date with the mysterious Stephanie.

All of this drama is expertly condensed into an hour that never feels overstuffed. It's ominous in its build-up, but also allows the community to rally together and find some hope. The final shot - of Daryl's modified vest set against a burning Hilltop - is one of the season's best images.
