![]() Leah would eventually share a tragic backstory involving Dog’s pregnant mother and her own adopted son there was also mention of a “squad” that Leah described as feeling more like family than her own ever did. Their mostly-off-again relationship began at gunpoint, and it took more than a year (and a fish delivery) for Daryl to even learn her name. It’s worth taking a moment to briefly recall what happened with these two star-crossed lustbirds a while back. (Anyone else think that was Andrea for a split second when she took off her mask to reveal those blonde locks?) (This is a rare TWD episode with only one zombie encounter, and this one isn’t even undead - it’s, like, dead dead.) The Reaper in the red mask seems to capture Dog, but Daryl learns why the pup is especially friendly with the enemy - it’s his old caretaker, Leah, who appears to have found the last surviving hair salon. He evades a trio of Reaps - including the odd combat decision to throw his crossbow at one of them - and resorts to the ol’ zombie-guts camo technique to avoid attracting walkers. The clock rewinds once again to the Reaper assault, as Daryl and Dog are separated from Maggie’s group. Her reappearance brings much-needed weight to this new band of bad guys, who - let’s face it - aren’t all that interesting or believable, at least not yet. Call me naïve, though, because I did not see this twist coming: a reunion with Leah, the brief but intense flame from season ten whom Daryl fell for, then abandoned, then lost. Sooner or later (or much, much later), it was inevitable that we’d finally meet the Reapers, including their mysterious leader, Pope.
