The Walking Dead: Every Season 2 Episode Ranked Worst To Best
1. Better Angels
The penultimate episode of The Walking Dead's second season is also its best. Following Dale's death in the previous episode, Shane goes off on his own and kills Randall, in hopes of luring Rick away from the farm and shooting him.
Better Angels is important for a myriad of reasons, most notably because it brings Rick and Shane's dangerous rivalry to an end by having Rick step up and kill his best friend. It also features a sequence in which Daryl and Glenn find a zombified Randall, despite the fact he hadn't been bitten, and ends with a horde moving onto the farm.
Brilliantly performed once again by Lincoln and Bernthal and directed to tension-riddled perfection by Guy Ferland, the episode signals the end of the first era of The Walking Dead, and remains one of its all-time best instalments.
