The Walking Dead: Every Season 9 Episode Ranked Worst To Best
10. Bounty
Directly following on from Omega's brilliant cliffhanger - Alpha turning up at Hilltop to retrieve her missing daughter - Bounty follows Daryl as he assumes the role of leader and grapples with the moral implications of her arrival.
Meanwhile, this drama is counteracted by a supply run helmed by Ezekiel, Jerry and Carol, who venture to an old cinema to find a projection bulb. This side of the episode feels like filler, but pays off in a big way in a few episodes time, and finds the writers approaching the show with a fun slice of humour in the process.
The scenes with Connie, who is deaf, trying to save an abandoned baby whilst outrunning the Whisperers is an absolute stand-out here, as is Daryl's sudden growth from disillusioned loner to leader unable to live with his decisions. And Alpha, as ever, is still terrifying.
