"The Cell" is the third episode of the seventh season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 6, 2016.

Concurrently, Daryl (Norman Reedus) is held prisoner and psychologically tortured by Dwight (Austin Amelio), a ruthless but reluctant member of the Saviors and one of Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) top lieutenants, who forms a hostile rivalry with Daryl.

Dwight feeds Daryl only dog food sandwiches and forces him to listen to the song "Easy Street" played through the walls.

Dwight shows that if Daryl refuses to join the Saviors, he could end up like other prisoners, who have become walkers wandering in a fenced off area.

Dwight, Sherry, and her sister Tina used to be part of the Sanctuary workforce, earning "points" for goods.

"The Cell" received generally positive reviews from critics, with particular praise towards Reedus’s performance.

The site's consensus reads: The Walking Dead delivers another character-driven episode in "The Cell," which successfully delves deeper into the world of Negan and his cronies, even if its attempts to humanize a villain achieve somewhat mixed results.
