"Them" is the tenth episode of the fifth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on February 15, 2015.

The group continues to reel from the deaths of Beth and Tyreese, with Maggie, Sasha, and Daryl taking the losses the hardest.

Rick orchestrates a plan to eliminate the pursuing herd of walkers, which will require minimal exertion from the exhausted group.

Dehydrated, the survivors find jugs and ten bottles of water waiting for them in the middle of the road with a note reading, "from a friend".

Suddenly, rain begins to fall, causing the group to rejoice, but Maggie, Sasha, and Daryl remain somber.

Rick relates a story of his grandfather, who fought in World War II and survived by convincing himself that he was already a dead man.

A herd of walkers approaches the barn; Daryl, Maggie, and Sasha, who are not sleeping, work together to barricade the door, and are joined by the rest of the group.

[4] The episode received generally positive reviews, with many praising aspects such as the theme of grief, the introduction of Aaron at the end and the sequences involving the barn and Sasha fuelling her rage on the zombies.

She further assessed that "while Gabriel may have rejected religion, it was in fact an episode filled with oddly religious, hope-inspiring moments, including the fortuitous arrival of a rain storm just when the group were struggling with their thirst.

A sequence in which Daryl, Maggie and Sasha held a barn door close against an onslaught of walkers had a dreamlike, mystical quality."

"[7] Matt Fowler of IGN reacted positively to Rick's speech, the scene involving Sasha taking out her rage on the zombies and the introduction of Aaron from the comic book series.
