The Walking Dead: Every Season 9 Episode Ranked Worst To Best
3. Evolution
In Evolution, the Whisperers arrive in horrifying style. Eugene is missing, and whilst looking for him Daryl, Aaron and Jesus realise a walker herd is following them. The mood is electric, as the mystery of what's actually happening enfolds them.
Alongside this thrilling game of cat-and-mouse, Michonne, Tara and Magna's group grapple with issues at Hilltop, and Gabriel and Negan have one their darkly amusing therapy sessions.
With its gloomy aesthetic, thick fog, typically magnificent practical effects and spine-tingling finale in which Jesus is shockingly killed and his murderer coldly proclaims "You are where you do not belong", Evolution throws the show back into its horror roots with an episode that's as scary as it is refreshingly surprising.
