Walker-Sasha was eventually put down by Jesus when he and Maggie stumbled upon her in the woods in the aftermath of the fight. Walker-Sasha didn’t get Negan, but her self-sacrifice allowed Rick’s group to temporarily shake off their aggressors and regain the upper hand in the battle of Alexandria – an upper hand they’d lost when the traitorous Heapsters turned on them, having formed a secret alliance with the Saviors. Sasha died too, but she went out in a blaze of undead glory after weaponising herself by deliberately taking an overdose then very nearly taking a bite out of Negan upon emerging from the coffin in which he-ever the showman-had placed her for… some reason. Abraham and Glenn both fell afoul of Negan’s bat in the season premiere, while fellow Alexandrians Olivia and Spencer were respectively shot and disembowelled by the Saviors. Rick, son Carl, adopted daughter Judith and girlfriend Michonne all made it out of the season alive and with their limbs still attached, but not everyone was so lucky. Rick opened the season on his knees but ended it on his feet, gun in hand, rag-tag crew of rebels (and a tiger!) at his side. The season started and finished with close-ups of Rick’s face, a man utterly broken and forced to submit to the violent whims of a cruel tyrant, but who eventually finds the strength to stand up and fight. Emotionally, the story was all about Rick Grimes.
