Notes & Trivia[]

  • This episode is rated TV-14. It contains vulgar language and acts of extreme violence.
  • Events from this episode are adapted from issue #100 of The Walking Dead comic book series by Image Comics. In the comic, only Glenn Rhee gets killed by Negan. In the comics, Abraham was actually killed two issues earlier when he was shot through the eye with an arrow by Dwight. On the TV series, it was Denise Cloyd who suffered this fate.
  • The episode title is a callback to the episode "TS-19" where Edwin Jenner uttered the quote to Rick Grimes when Rick exclaimed that he was grateful to Jenner for reluctantly opening the doors of the CDC.
