The Walking Dead: 15 Best Zombie Kills (So Far)

14. Sisterly Bonding ("Wildfire")Walking Dead Andrea Amy After a Walker attack on their camp costs Rick's group several lives, they must spend the next day destroying the brains of the dead and disposing of the bodies. Daryl is having a grand old time and Carol whacks her abusive husband's head to pieces with an icepick, but Andrea refuses to let anybody approach her dead sister. Instead, she clutches Amy's body for an entire day in the hot Georgia sun until Amy begins to reanimate. Andrea apologizes to her zombified sister and tells her that she loves her. When they see what is happening, Rick and Shane rush forward to stab Amy in the brain before she can bite Andrea, but Andrea is way ahead of them. She sticks her gun under Amy's chin, firing through her mouth and into the brain. Why It's Great: Amy was the first real major character death. Nobody really cared about Merle, and Ed's death was a cause for celebration, but Amy was sweet and innocent and knew how to fish. She liked mermaids and was basically Andrea's sole motivation to carry on living. We spend a hefty portion of the episode dreading €“ or maybe looking forward to €“ the inevitable moment when Amy would wake up and tear a chunk out of her sister. Instead, Andrea just shoots Amy with a gun that she'd never fired before and becomes the first character to kill a loved one on-screen.
