The Walking Dead: Every Season 7 Episode Ranked Worst To Best
13. New Best Friends
New Best Friends is perhaps best known for Rick's fight with a walker fitted with deadly spikes. The scene in question is unquestionably a perfect encapsulation of how much the show had lost its way at this point.
But this sequence isn't even the worst part of the episode. No, that (dis)honour goes to the introduction of the Scavengers, a group of dump-dwelling survivors so painfully uninteresting they're even put to shame by Oceanside.
The drama is hilariously over-the-top here, especially with the walker fight and Gabriel's cringe-worthy speech about how much he trusts Rick. It's not all bad, though: New Best Friends also features the reunion of Daryl and Carol, which is incredibly sweet, if let down by poor pacing and a rushed conclusion.
