Despite The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be being a largely gloomy, desperate, destructive affair, in amongst the carnage was a bizarre WTF moment that would’ve caught many of us off guard.

With both Abraham and Glenn just piles of battered, bloodied, unrecognizable flesh by this point in time, we got taken to a trippy dream-like sequence showing a ‘happy ever after’ ending for our familiar Walking Dead faces.

Like something from a Disney movie or the scene of a Hallmark card, all of our favourite characters were sat around a picnic table, laughing, smiling, enjoying a world seemingly free of the worries and threats of walkers and the pitfalls of the desolate landscape that we’ve seen for the previous six seasons. And not only are Glenn and Abraham alive, but Glenn and Maggie have had their child by this point, making this a heartbreaking case of what could’ve been. And again, The Walking Dead took another chance to rub their viewers’ noses in the fact that this is a world where happy endings are at a premium.

So, what WTF moments shocked you about The Day Will Come When You Won't Be? Let us know in the comments section below.
