The Walking Dead Season 6: 14 WTF Moments From 'Last Day On Earth'

4. Scared Rick

The Walking Dead Last Day on Earth
AMC

Now whilst this episode was filled with some pretty shocking moments, it could be argued that the biggest WTF shocker was the change in demeanor of Rick Grimes.

When confronted by the realisation of the situation he was in, that he and his followers were at the mercy of those in front of them, and that one of his own could very well end up being killed in front of his very eyes, Rick froze.

It was at this point that we saw a side to Rick that we’ve rarely, if ever, seen: he was scared. Even at his darkest moments, such as when Lori died or when Carl lost an eye, there was still a steely determination and resilience to Rick Grimes.

Here, though, this is a downbeat, startled and scared Rick, and it was a major shock to many to see how the usually-badass Grimes was sat like a scared child.
