Worth (The Walking Dead)
"Worth" is the fifteenth and penultimate episode of the eighth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on April 8, 2018.
After barely surviving a walker attack, Cyndie and the others find an exhausted Aaron begging them to join the fight against the Saviors as they would otherwise continue to be fearful of the outside world.
In his apartment, Dwight marks up a map for Rick and writes a message describing Negan's attack plan.
In the Sanctuary, with all the Saviors and workers gathered, Negan and Simon engage in a furious and brutal fist fight.
Afterwards, Gregory returns to Hilltop with the plans, but is thrown back in prison by Maggie, who then gives Dwight's map to Rick.
After having a freshly turned Simon chained to the Sanctuary fence, Negan is contacted by Michonne over walkie-talkie; she reads Carl's letter to him, again reiterating his same request to end the war peacefully and start over.
His character, Carl Grimes, had been killed off in the ninth episode of the season, "Honor", which was his last on-screen appearance.
Both he and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Negan's portrayer, filmed their big fight scene themselves, rather than using stunt performers.
The site's consensus reads: "Worth" briskly cleans house to varying degrees of satisfaction, setting the stage for what could be one of the series' most explosive finales—assuming the show finally follows through on its promise of All Out War.
Joe Otterson of Variety wrote: "Once again, Steven Ogg proves himself to be one of the best villains in the game in this week's episode of "The Walking Dead".
"[4] Noel Murray of Rolling Stone complemented the episode by writing: "All signs right now point to next week's finale being especially violent and deadly...Which is good.
"[6] Luke Holland of The Guardian wrote: "It was a dialogue-heavy episode, but because there was so much going on it felt brisk, tense and urgent, and left behind the promise of a finale with all the extraneous gristle removed.
