… except that Rick doesn’t die, either from the rebar puncture or the explosion. It feels like the end of an era, and if the episode had ended with Rick dying in the explosion, I think it would have been a powerful, almost perfect conclusion. For anyone that has watched this show for nine years, it’s almost impossible not to get a little broken up by Rick’s death. Meanwhile, Michonne loses it trying to get to Rick before the explosion, and when the bridge blows up, it’s the look of heartbreak on Daryl’s face that broke me.
Before he makes it to the bridge, Rick passes out and hallucinates moving conversations with Shane, Hershel, and Sasha. It is an incredibly powerful scene in the context of the episode. In the meantime, Rick shoots at a box of dynamite on the bridge, blowing it up along with himself, saving Alexandria in the process. Daryl manages to kill several zombies with his bow and arrow from a distance before they kill Rick. Maggie, Michonne, Daryl and others arrive, but they can’t get through the zombies and to Rick to rescue him. The hope is that the weight of the zombie horde will cause the bridge to collapse and the zombies will fall into the river. He picks off a few zombies with a gun he finds, and then he stumbles bleeding back toward a bridge the Saviors had been building. There, Rick discovers that a number of people are dead. He also escapes the zombies, jumps on his horse, and slowly makes his way back to the camp.
Rick the walking dead shit happens free#
Using his belt and wrapping it around rebar above him, Rick manages to pull himself free of the rebar, though he experiences considerable pain. This week’s episode begins with him still lying on the rebar with two hordes of zombies converging upon him. In last week’s episode, in a callback to the pilot episode of The Walking Dead, Rick fell off his horse and landed in a pile of concrete and a piece of rebar punctured him through the stomach.
This post is for those who may have stopped watching The Walking Dead and want to know how Rick exited from the series, or for those who are still watching The Walking Dead and simply want to understand what the hell happened at the end of Andrew Lincoln’s final episode, “What Comes After.” Unfortunately, while we’re happy to provide the answer to the first question, we are left scratching our head about the ending, though we do have some information and a couple of theories. (Spoilers from AMC’s The Walking Dead will be found below.)
