Plot[]
Years have passed since the "walk-pocalypse" and life has returned to normal with opening the "Walking Dead Museum", commemorating several iconic events from the experience of "Rick and the Gang". The tour guide tells false stories of Rick and the Gang's experiences. During the tour, an elderly Carl confronts a nerd from the group about how none of the stories that the museum has told are true. Carl then tells the nerd the true stories of his group.
In a flashback, Dr. Edwin Jenner is discussing with two agents about what caused the virus, Dr. Jenner tells them that having sex with monkeys might have caused aids, but didn't cause the zombie virus, thus the two leave to go have sex with monkeys, where it's then revealed that Dr. Jenner is in a sexual relationship with a monkey named "Marley".
Shane tells Lori lies about what Rick said to do as a way to have sex with her. Rick returns, shocking Lori and Carl. Shane comes up to tell Lori that Rick said she should not tell Rick anything that Shane said Rick said to do.
In King County, after Rick unknowingly insults Morgan's zombified wife, Morgan theorizes that his wife remembers where she lived, prompting Rick to wonder what else they remember. Cut to zombies doing parkour, marching bands, and bullying. A zombie that represents "Big Al's Locksmith" unlocks the door to the house, letting all the zombies into the house.
After being cuffed to the roof, Merle sings a parody version of "Somewhere Out There" (from Don Bluth's An American Tail) with a random walker woman while chopping off his hand. He then presents the walker with his severed hand.
While searching the Siggard Family Farm, Rick comes across a unicorn, who will only let him ride him raw dog. In Atlanta, Georgia, they are ambushed by a herd. Once the unicorn learns Rick has a son, he starts fighting off the zombies, he's eventually overwhelmed (to his enjoyment), while Rick hides in the tank.
Rick and Glenn stand in a herd while camouflaged in walker guts, when Carl starts dancing with walker corpses attached to a pole.
Rick is searching for Sophia, but is unable to find her. Rick then presents Carol with a log wrapped in his jacket, pretending it's Sophia, but Carol doesn't buy it.
Dale recklessly drives his RV, with Andrea in the passenger's seat, doing numerous jump stunts, which earns him sex with Andrea. As it turns outs, it was just Dale's dream as he's being eating alive by a zombie.
Rick and the Survivors have a stand-off with zombies, who get offended at the use of the word "walkers".
Rick tries to convince Hershel to come back to the farm. Hershel then tells Rick about the person he was when he used to drink, which was a rowdy, violent criminal. Rick's biggest concern is who won between him and a kangaroo, which then shows the kangaroo's head on display.
Rick and Daryl fight off walkers, when Daryl runs out of arrows. Rick then hands him a gun, but Daryl launches it with his crossbow, then complains about being out again.
Lori has just given birth to Judith, but died in the process. Maggie apologizes to Carl for his loss. She offers to put Lori down, but Carl insists that he do it. He then asks Maggie if it's okay to do it anyway he wants to, before tying a zombified Lori to a giant firework and igniting it, blowing up into red, white, and blue letters that spell out "I LOVE YOU MOM". Maggie tells Rick that there's something wrong with that boy.
The Governor brushes his zombified daughter, Penny's, hair, which rips part of her scalp off. He then staples it back on.
Carol shots Lizzie after telling her to look at the flowers, then shoots Lennie (from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men) after telling him to look at the bunny, then shoots Randle McMurphy (from Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) after telling him to look at the "Indian" ("Chief" Bromden), then shoots a rabid Old Yeller after telling him to eat shit, then shoots Tommy DeVito, Bruno Facciolo, and Tuddy Cicero (from Goodfellas), before finally shooting the viewer.
Back in the present, at the "Terminus Cafeteria", Carl and the nerd are getting the buffet, before the nerd asks what Terminus was like. He tells him about Terminus' cannibalistic ways.
In another flashback, Rick, Carl, and Michonne arrive at Terminus, which offers a free musical theater. They are then greeted by Gareth, who gives them a musical performance, while over emphasizing they won't eat them.
An unnamed person awakes as a walker, when he spots Rick and tries to eat him, but trips and falls. He gets up and tries to eat Abraham, who hits him with his gun, and then gets hit by Maggie with her gun. He tries to eat Carl, before Rick knocks him off and stomps on his head. He then chases Rick and Carl to the edge of a cliff, but falls over it. When he hits the ground, his head detaches from his body.
In Alexandria, Rick tells everyone they won't be using the front gate anymore, instead they will use Carl's really long hair to climb over the wall.
Glenn, Noah, and Nicholas are caught between revolving doors. Nicholas pushes his way to the front, when he's greeted by a business walker trying to get in to get to work. He pushes his way out, letting the walkers get Noah. Noah insults Glenn as he's getting eat, while Glenn watches helplessly, as the business walker pesters him to get inside.
Dwight holds Eugene hostage in front of Daryl and Rosita. Eugene then bites Dwight's penis, before Dwight's penis (in a Gilbert Gottfried impression) gives a narration, wondering how it got here.
Negan smashes Abraham's head with Lucille, before breaking into a musical number. One of the background dancers misses his que, earning him a head bashing from Negan. Negan then resume his dance routine.
Shiva is revealed to not be a real tiger, but rather a man named "Sir Fred Livingston III" in a tiger suit, who plays the role to entertain people.
Negan brags to Rick about taking his stuff because they are the Saviors, before riding off. Rick, frustrated, says they need a name for their group. After a long tangent, he then comes up with "Rick and the Gang". The others insist on something different, but Rick decides that "Rick and the Gang" is the official name because he made t-shirts.
Negan, admiring his outfit, feels like he's missing something. He then steals Snoopy's (from Charles Schulz's Peanuts) red scarf.
Negan demands Carl show him his eye wound, which then turns into a black hole and sucks everything within the room up, including Negan and Lucille.
Maggie is cooking dinner and calls a brain damaged Glenn (after being beaten by Negan) downstairs. Glenn repeating says "I'll find you" while looking for Maggie. She justifies this by saying they play a lot of hide and seek. Maggie and Glenn go to bed, with Maggie saying she loves him and his only response being "I'll find you".
Negan threatens Daryl to sing with a high A, as says on his shirt.
Negan then arrives to Alexandria, when his scarf gets caught in the truck door and he gets dragged off while everyone, including Snoopy, laugh and cheer.
Negan uses Carl's eye hole to pop open his beer bottle.
Maggie gives birth to her son, however he looks exactly like Glenn, including the bashed head, eye popping out of his head, and saying "I found you", much to Maggie's dismay.
Negan hits a golf ball into Carl's eye hole.
On an unnamed planet headed for the sun, two barbed wire bats put their daughter, in an escape pod, where it land on a farm on earth. An elderly couple find it and adopt it, naming her Lucille. Lucille's father tells her that she's here for a reason. In Alexandria, Negan has just killed Spencer, prompting Rosita to try to shoot him in retaliation. However, Lucille blocks the bullet and flies into the sky with a cape.
In the present, the nerd is amazed by Lucille, much to Carl's anger. The tour guide then leads them to the last presentation, the last surviving walker. Carl attempts to shoot it, but the nerd gets in his way in an attempt to get a selfie and the bullet hits his replica Lucille. The walker pounces on Carl causing the gun to fall by the nerd, who picks it up. The nerd tries to shoot it, but is out of ammo. He then gets extra bullets from a Eugene bullet dispenser, which takes a while due to Eugene's long-winded rambling. The nerd then shoots the walker through the head, killing it once and for all. However, the nerd is revealed to have been bitten and then turns into a walker.
On Talking Dead, Chris Hardwick, amazed at the supposed 100th episode of The Walking Dead, introduces his guests Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, and Sir Fred Livingston III. Scott then clarifies that this wasn't the official 100th episode, before Chris is bitten on the head and the penis by the zombified nerd, to the delight of the guests.
