Granted, taking stock of all the characters and whether or not they were narratively "ready" to go, Jerry was the one most likely to get torn to bits. Regardless, "Squeeze" made the most of these spelunky surroundings, crafting a full episode's worth of danger out of it and, maybe most importantly, creating a crucible where it felt like someone could die. In fact, the show itself made a montage out of rapid-fire zombie assaults on Alexandria earlier in the season as if it wasn't a situation worth spending a lot of time with because everyone could handle themselves. Trapping Carol, Daryl, and the rest in a savage scenario against a herd of walkers didn't exactly feel cliffhanger-worthy since we've seen our survivors escape dozens of similar scenes over the years.

When we last left our heroes, in the midseason finale cliffhanger, things didn't seem all that dire. Oh, and with Negan and Alpha doing the (actual) dirty out in the woods.

The Walking Dead kicked off Season 10's remaining eight episodes with a dark, cramped crawl through some creepy caverns overrun with both walkers and Whisperers.
