Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title of this episode comes from when Molly (Jill Jane Clements) says to Carol (Melissa McBride), "I'm a dead woman walking... which puts us in exactly the same boat."
- GoofsWith respect to the walker that was evidently stabbed in the neck but dropped "dead" anyway, it is possible (you couldn't really tell from the camera angle) that the knife stabbed upward into the brain stem, so destroying the medulla oblongata and thus neutralizing the walker.
- Quotes
[Carol holds her gun on Paula]
Carol Peletier: I told you to run.
Paula: If you could do all this, what were you so afraid of, Carol?
Carol Peletier: [Carol walks up on Paula extending her gun out to her] I was afraid of this.

Featured review
Grim but compelling
We see what happens to Carol and Maggie.
This is another vicious yet compelling episode with memorable character moments for the above.
The main narrative is moved on slightly, but there is significant focus on Carol and Maggie. Their survival skills and the toll that the killing appears to be taking is handled well.
Much like the previous episode these characters are taken in a darker direction and it is uncomfortable to watch at times. They are put in a situation with little choice in the actions they take, but ultimately they put themselves in the position due the choices they made prior. It is cleverly written to try and keep you onside by showing how seemingly tortured the characters are by what they have done and continue to do.
It is what reviewers like to call a 'bottle episode' and it uses both regular and guest characters well to keep you hooked. There are some feminist themes that come through strongly in the resolution to the events and some of the dialogue.
There are a few little nitpicks that make eyes roll such as the hostage movie cliché of the leaving prisoners unguarded and one zombie related piece of gore that is clearly there for shock value. I have to say though, the twist involving the kill room is great storytelling.
I like the design of the set. As with all the production design of The Walking Dead the attention to detail is great and it feels as creepy and desolate as ever.
All performances are excellent with Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan and Alicia Witt standing out.
