‘The Walking Dead’ Season 5 Episode 10Wwill Have Rick and His group, Now Minus Tyreese, Back on the Road on The Way to a Confrontation With “Them”

AMC's The Walking Dead season 5 episode 10 airing Sunday, February 15, at its 9:00-10:00 pm time slot is entitled "Them." Directed by Julius Ramsay from Heather Bellson script, it will continue from where the show's mid-season premiere left- with yet another one of the main characters dead. The group feels beaten after living life on the road, but must continue to trudge along, it says in the studio's brief synopsis.

As seen in last week's show titled "What Happened and What's Going On," one of The Walking Dead regulars, Tyreese (Chad Coleman), finally ended his run with the hugely popular zombie apocalypse TV drama series. Still reeling from the tragedy of Beth's (Emily Kinney) death at Grady Memorial Hospital, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his group of survivors decide that the best way to honor Beth is to complete her intended mission of reuniting Noah (Tyler James Williams) with his family. The entire group make the 500-mile journey to Shirewilt Estates, a walled community outside Richmond, Virginia. But once there, tragedy struck yet again when Tyreese was bitten by one of Noah's reanimated younger twin brothers. As he struggles to remain alive, he hallucinates about his dead friends Beth, Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.), Mika (Kyla Kenedy) and Lizzie (Brighton Sharpino) as well as his dead foes The Governor (David Morrisey) and Martin (Chris Coy). In the end, despite having his infected arm amputated by Michonne (Danai Gurira), Tyreese lets go and passes away. Fittingly, last week's episode was directed by executive producer Greg Nicotero from a script written by fellow executive producer Scott M. Gimple.

With Tyreese, who acted as the group's de facto moral compass, now gone, TV Guide asked executive producer Anne Hurd asked what may be expected for the rest of the season. She replied: "We've always got the walkers around the corner that they could encounter at any moment, but also the threat of other human survivors who are often far more dangerous than the zombie threat. But [the second half of the season] really is about what the recent circumstances and the stress of having survived so much does to the group, both individually and collectively. They'll be facing very different kind of threats that we haven't seen before. We've seen the stress and the fracturing that came from Eugene's lie and how various characters have reacted to that. Now with the deaths and realizing that Noah's community is not the answer, it's going to stress them even further. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't more fracturing."
