Trivia

  • Derek is mentioned by Virginia in "Bury Her Next to Jasper's Leg" when questioning Wes if he was behind the attack on Tank Town.
  • On April 5, 2021, prior to the return of Season 6, AMC released a batch of promotional photos for episodes 9 through 11, including one photo of Derek and Wes sitting at a table in the underground facility, thus spoiling the fate of Wes' brother who was previously believed to be dead. However, shortly after the photo was released by AMC, it was quickly removed from its website.
