"Start to Finish" is the eighth episode and mid-season finale of the sixth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 29, 2015.

The group of Rick, Carl, Judith, Michonne, Gabriel, Deanna, and her own sons Ron and Sam take shelter in the home of Jessie.

Rick breaks down the interior garage door to get the boys out as the walkers enter; Carl covers for Ron while confiscating his handgun.

Knowing they will soon be overrun, Rick decides to make a desperate attempt at escape: he kills and guts two walkers, hoping they can camouflage themselves with their insides and pass through the herd.

The critics' consensus reads: ""Start to Finish" fails to live up to The Walking Dead's potential with a midseason finale that is both dull and frustrating.

Club gave it a C+ grade and wrote, "a bunch of cliffhangers sounds like a smart way to close things out for the year, but none of this is promising us the sight of anything new."

He also wrote "the only scene tonight that sets up a new storyline happened after the credits—happened, in fact, ten minutes after “Start To Finish” (sic) had actually ended.
