Season 8 was a game changer for The Walking Dead. Let’s take a walk down memory lane with a look back at episode 802, “The Damned.”

As the assault on the Saviors continued on The Walking Dead, we started to see signs of what was to come in episode 802, “The Damned.” Here’s a look back at the episode that took us deeper into the war.

If you need a refresher, take a look at the synopsis of “The Damned” from AMC: “The plan involving Alexandrians, Kingdommers and Hilltoppers unfolds. As Rick continues to fight, he encounters a familiar face.” You can read more about the synopsis right here.

Carol and Ezekiel give chase to a Savior who survived the ambush that almost killed them, while Tara and Jesus (and later Morgan) get existential during their assault on another Savior satellite. The disagreement between Tara and Jesus lays important groundwork for the rest of the season. Shiva has the top moment of the episode when she swoops in to save the day, but damage might have been done even though the day’s battle was mostly successful.
