Notes

• The tagline for this episode is "We're just getting started".

• This season adapts material from The Walking Dead comic book series beginning with issue #100, which presented the death of the character of Glenn Rhee.

• Alanna Masterson's noticeable absence from the back-end of season six of The Walking Dead and the first few episodes of season seven were due to the fact that she was off having a child. She gave birth to a daughter named Marlowe.

• Alanna Masterson's return to the series in season seven was met with some harsh responses from the internet community, who felt the need to comment about her apparent weight gain. Masterson fired back with own comments on Instagram.
