The Walking Dead Season 6: 18 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

15. And Denise's

The other big moment that was taken from the comics was the death of Denise Cloyd. She was setup for the fall, as she spent the episode trying to be heroic and prove she could hack it in this world, and then as she's giving a big speech to Daryl and Rosita she gets an arrow through the eye. 

It was a particularly gruesome death, but also not one meant for Denise. Not that Dwight missed, but rather in the comics it belongs to a bigger character: Abraham. It plays out in similar fashion, with Dwight being the one to fire the arrow, but it's a much different outcome given Abraham is a more beloved character. 

While this could be seen as The Walking Dead shying away from offing a fan-favourite, it could also be a suggestion that is the one on the receiving end of Lucille.
