EZEKIEL LOSES HIS MOST FAITHFUL WARRIOR
At the end of “Some Guy,” Ezekiel begins to crack with the realization that his Elizabethan persona not hasn’t saved those he leads, but actually gotten them killed. Ezekiel offers to sacrifice himself to the pursuing zombie horde so Carol and Jerry can escape, but they won’t have it. Jerry insists that he has to protect the king, and in a moment of desperation, Ezekiel screams that Jerry has no king and that everything Ezekiel has ever stood for was just an act to help people forget that they live in a nightmare.
Just when it seems that Carol and Jerry might actually leave the broken king behind, Shiva the tiger arrives — yet again, magically, at just the right moment — to fend off the zombies. The brief moment of triumph quickly turns to panic, however, as it becomes clear Shiva’s not going to make it out alive. As Carol and Jerry drag a screaming Ezekiel away, the tiger is overrun by walkers and killed, sacrificing herself for the king just as so many members of the Kingdom did before her. In the final moments of the episode, Ezekiel hobbles back into the Kingdom, a broken shell of his former self, leaving open the very real possibility that his regal persona might be retired for good.
