It marks the final regular appearance of Sam Underwood (Jake Otto), who died in the previous episode.
Madison, Strand and Walker return and rescue Nick, Troy and Alicia, the only survivor of the pantry.
They prepare to return to the dam but Alicia refuses to go, wanting to go alone to Jake's cabin and find her own way to live in the world.
David Zapanta of Den of Geek rated it 4.5/5, crediting the writing, directing, and Debnam-Carey's portrayal of Alicia Clark for a "transformative" episode that "gives The Walking Dead a serious run for its money".
[3] IGN's Matt Fowler noted that while it "wasn't an all-Alicia episode" it "still had an amazing, harrowing Alicia-centric story inside of it - one that really helped shape her character".
