"Guts"[]

Lori Grimes heads into a forest alone, unnerved by the sounds of snapping branches and moving brush, while she bends down to search for more mushrooms. Suddenly, someone grabs her from behind. Lori struggles but soon realizes it's Shane, pinning her down on the ground. "How much time do we have?" he asks, kissing her. "Enough," Lori replies, and the two begin to undress. Lori wears Rick's wedding ring on a locket around her neck, which she and Shane eye with a flash of guilt before she takes the locket off and lays it on the grass. The two then proceed to have sex, and the title screen begins.

"Tell It to the Frogs"[]

In the roof of the department store, a handcuffed and delirious Merle Dixon sits alone, talking to himself about a violent incident from his past. Suddenly, he snaps back to reality and begins panicking as some walkers start to clamor at the padlocked stairwell door. Merle becomes hysterical, desperately trying to break free. He prays to God for forgiveness and then spots a hacksaw from the overturned tool box and his resolve suddenly strengthens. He shouts at God, "I ain't never begged you! I ain't gonna start beggin' you now!" Taking off his belt, he repeatedly tosses the buckle end to try to reel in the hacksaw, lying just out of reach, and the title screen begins.

"Wildfire"[]

On the ground, Amy begins to stir, deep breaths growing from deep within her. Her hands and arms begin twitching on her abdomen. She opens her eyes, which, though always blue, were suddenly an icy cool grey-blue, the pupils gone. She moans and paws at the air. She reaches for Andrea, grabbing at her hair as she pulls herself up, growling. The group stands around, guns in hand. Andrea apologizes to Amy for not being there. "I'm here now, Amy.

A flashback starts this episode at the onset of the Wildfire Global Outbreak. Shane is visiting Rick in the King County hospital, wearing his Sheriff's Deputy's uniform. Army personnel are evacuating hospital staff and executing the infected. Shane begs a nurse for help, but she runs past him screaming.

He draws his gun and heads to the door. He watches fearfully as the military execute terrified people in the hallways. He tries to lift his comatose partner, but hesitates because of all the tubes and wires attached to the machines that are keeping him alive. Shane asks him desperately to tell him what to do, but Rick is unresponsive.

He ducks behind Rick's bed just as two army personnel arrive to sweep the room. When they leave, he begs his best friend to wake up, but the power goes out and Rick's monitors die. Fearing the worst, Shane puts his ear to Rick's chest. After hearing no heartbeat, Shane reluctantly leaves Rick in the room. However, he barricades the door with a hospital gurney before he flees, and the title screen begins.

"What Lies Ahead"[]

After narrowly escaping from the Center for Disease Control, Rick and the rest of the group decide to leave Atlanta for good. The city is firmly in the hands of the walkers, and they decide to give Shane's idea of finding refuge at the army base at Fort Benning a try. Before leaving, Rick attempts to contact Morgan Jones one last time about the city. He urges him to stay away for his and his son's safety.

Rick tells the non-responsive walkie-talkie about his fears for the rest of the group, what happened at the CDC, and how hard he's trying not to lose faith, even in the face of people "opting out". He sputters, changing his mind before telling Morgan what Jenner whispered in his ear at the CDC - information that clearly weighs on him.

As the group prepares for their journey, Shane stares longingly at Rick's family. The group abandons some of the vehicles in their convoy, bringing just the RV, Carol Peletier's Cherokee, and Merle's motorcycle, now driven by his brother, Daryl, and the title screen begins.

"Bloodletting"[]

In a flashback to the day her husband is shot, Lori Grimes and her friend Paula are having a conversation outside their children's school. They are discussing the same fight that Rick and Shane discussed before the shootout in the series premiere episode "Days Gone Bye". She admits she sometimes wonders if she even loves her husband anymore.

Shane Walsh pulls up in his cruiser, driving recklessly. Lori frowns and excuses herself from the conversation, as if this is nothing new from her husband's lifelong best friend.

Shane gets out of his cruiser with Lam Kendal and Leon Basset trailing behind him, and the look on his face tells Lori something is seriously wrong. "Is he alive?" she asks. Shane, who blames himself for what had happened, explains that Rick is in surgery, and promises to help her tell Carl his father's been shot. When the boy emerges from his school with his backpack around his shoulders, Lori kneels down to tell him.

Shane watches, brokenhearted, as she tells him what happened, and Carl bursts into tears, hugging his mother, and the title screen begins.

"Save the Last One"[]

The credits remain the same.

"Cherokee Rose"[]

Cattle are grazing at the farm, as Daryl, Andrea, Dale, and Carol arrive with the RV and the rest of their belongings while Shane, T-Dog and Glenn help Hershel's family collect rocks for Otis' funeral.

Rick and Lori sit at their son Carl's bedside while he recovers from surgery that he had in the previous episode to remove bullet fragments from his abdomen.

He wakes up briefly, and asks whether Sophia is alright. Not wanting to cause further distress to Carl, Rick tells him that Sophia is fine.

After everyone has settled, Hershel leads a funeral for Otis, piling his grave with the rocks they'd collected earlier, and asks Shane, wearing a pair of Otis' overalls, to offer some form of eulogy since he was the last one to see him alive.

Knowing the truth behind Otis' death, Shane initially tries to avoid having to make such a speech, but Patricia, Otis' wife, begs to know that his death had meaning, pointing out that Shane was the only one who shared Otis' final moments.

Shane starts his eulogy, stating that Otis sacrificed his life to help save Carl. As Shane speaks, flashbacks of Otis's final moments are shown, and it is clear that these final moments are vastly different from what Shane describes to the group, and the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Chupacabra"[]

Shortly after the outbreak, Shane, Lori, and Carl are stuck in traffic on a highway leading in to Atlanta. While Shane listens for broadcasts on his car radio, Lori and Carl become acquainted with Carol, her daughter Sophia, and her husband Ed. Helicopters loom overhead. When Carl says he's hungry, Carol offers him food from Ed's stash of military-style survival gear. But Ed shuts her down, and won't let her share their supply with strangers.

Lori joins Shane at their car, and he tells her the emergency broadcasts about the refugee center in the city have stopped. They leave Carl with Carol and Sophia as a fight breaks out among a few survivors on the highway, and military gunships zoom overhead. They walk ahead in search of someone who might know what's going on, but they watch from the side of the mountain, as the aircraft deploy napalm charges over skyscrapers in the streets of Atlanta as a part of Operation Cobalt. Terrified, Shane and Lori grab onto one another for comfort, and the title screen begins.

Everyone sits at the camp eating breakfast. Glenn looks over at the house, where Maggie stands shaking her head, then looking at Dale who nods. Glenn reveals to the survivors that Hershel's barn is full of walkers.

The group immediately goes to investigate with Shane taking the lead. They discuss the situation and Shane insists that they leave for Fort Benning. Carol says her daughter is still out there, and Shane tells her they need to consider the possibility that Sophia is dead. Daryl insists he's close to finding her but this doesn't appease Shane. Rick says he's going to talk to Hershel about the barn and staying when Dale reveals that Hershel sees the walkers as sick people, and with good reason. This only makes Shane mad at Dale for not telling them sooner, but Dale thought they would be fine. The walkers in the barn start rocking the barn doors. The survivors know they will have to deal with this issue soon, and the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

Emotions run high after the barn massacre. Beth hurries over to her mother, Annette, to mourn, but she isn't dead yet. She tries to attack Beth, but after a struggle, Andrea drives a scythe through the zombified Annette's head.

As the Greene family walks back to the house, Shane accuses Hershel of knowing Sophia's whereabouts, but Hershel denies knowing that she was in the barn, speculating that Otis had likely put her there before he died, and angrily orders Rick's group to leave the farm.

Moving as a cohesive unit, Rick, T-Dog, Daryl, and Carl breach a house, eliminate the walkers inside, and search the place to make sure it's safe for the group to camp out there. After the search is over, the others enter the house. After a short while, everyone starts to settle until T-Dog looks out of the window and notices a group of walkers approaching.

Keeping my gun close. I've been afraid to get my hopes up thinking we can actually stay here. The thing is, I've been starting to get afraid that it's easier just to be afraid. But this morning, Daddy said something. If you don't have hope, what's the point of living? So I unpacked my bag and I found you. So I'm gonna start writing in you again. And I'm gonna write this down now because you should write down wishes to make them come true. We can live here. We can live here for the rest of our lives."

Season 5[]

"No Sanctuary"[]

In a flashback, Gareth and the residents of Terminus huddle in a train car while marauders torture and rape members of their group outside. Alex laments posting "Sanctuary" signs, saying they left themselves vulnerable and brought the marauders right to them. "We were trying to do something good," Gareth reflects. "We were human beings."

"What are we now, Gareth?" Alex counters. Gareth has no reply.

In the present, Daryl informs Maggie that Beth was taken by a black car with a white cross on the back, and that she is alive. Meanwhile, Rick and the rest of their group are imprisoned in the train car. They quietly build weapons using scraps stripped from their clothes and the car's interior. Their captors release tear gas into the car, catching them off guard.

Rick, Daryl, Glenn and Bob are brought to a human slaughterhouse, where Terminus residents begin bludgeoning and slitting other captives' throats in a disturbingly neat and precise manner, allowing the blood from their slit throats to ooze into a trough, presumably draining them of their blood before preparing them to be eaten. The first to be slaughtered is Sam – the young man Rick and Carol met on a supply run before Carol's exile.

Before Glenn can be killed, Gareth interrupts to interrogate Rick about the bag he stashed in the woods. At first Rick refuses to comply, but after Gareth threatens to stab Bob in the eye, Rick admits it's filled with weapons, including rifles, handguns, a compound bow and a machete. He emphasizes that the machete has a red handle, telling Gareth, "That's what I'm gonna use to kill you". Gareth seems amused by the threat and allows the executions to continue until he hears gunshots. He radios in to ask what's happening, and before Glenn can be struck another shot is heard by everybody. Before anybody can say anything, an explosion goes and shakes the room, leading into the credits.

In the title screen for this season, we get quite a few updates.

The abandoned highway from "What Lies Ahead" gets replaced with the shadow of multiple walkers behind a door.
The abandoned cars in the field, and, the police badge for King County's Sheriff's Department gets replaced with Rick's Colt Python.

"Strangers"[]

The episode begins with a shot of the smoke rising from Terminus. The group are on the road once again and decide to take a break. As Glenn and Maggie share a tender moment, Tara approaches Rick. "You didn't wanna be there. That's why I tried to talk to you," Rick tells Tara, referring to how he called Tara out before the bloody showdown with the Governor. He's thankful she saved Glenn and welcomes her into the group, and even accepts her offer of a fist bump. Carol and Tyreese are filling water bottles from a creek and talk about whether the group will accept Carol for killing Karen and David at the prison. Carol says they don't have to accept it, but Tyreese insists that they do. Tyreese states that they don't have to tell them about Lizzie and Mika; he says that he just wants to forget what happened.

The group continue on their journey and come across a lone walker. Michonne says she's got it, and reaches reflexively for the katana that she lost to Terminus. Sighing, she takes it out by striking it with her gun and bashing its head in with the butt of her gun. Abraham sees this and tells Rosita, "right there is why we're waiting for our moment."

That night as the group makes camp in the woods, Rick talks to Carol. "I owe you everything," he tells her. Carol responds, "You owe Tyreese, he was at the prison." Carol pulls Rick's watch out of her bag and gives it back to him. He tells Carol that he saw the Terminus residents murder Sam. He offers her watch back, but she refuses. Rick admits some regret at sending her away, to which she responds, "you said I could survive. You were right." He notes the irony of kicking her out and then having to live with her on the road and turns it around, asking permission for them to join her, rather than giving permission for her to come back to the group. "Will you have us?" he asks. She nods.

Later that night in the woods, Carol and Daryl are sitting together and have a chance to talk about the horrible things that have happened recently. But after a long silence, she says she doesn't want to. "I just need to forget it," she says, echoing what Tyreese said. They both hear a noise and get up to look. Daryl says it's nothing. In a different camera angle, a silhouette moves through the trees in front of Daryl and Carol. After this, the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Four Walls and a Roof"[]

As Gareth continues to calmly speak to Bob, while walkers growl at them from inside the elementary school they are camping outside of, Bob becomes more and more visibly distressed. Gareth admits here that his group had been leaving the marks on the trees as a way to find their way to/from Terminus. Finally, Bob begins chuckling, then breaks into a laugh as Gareth tries to chastise him for not listening. The rest of the group come over, commenting that Bob has "lost it". Bob, however, gleefully pulls his shirt down, revealing a bite wound on his shoulder, and laughing as he explains that he has been bitten and is therefore "tainted meat". As the members of his group react in horror, Gareth angrily kicks Bob into unconsciousness, while explaining that they will be fine - because they "cooked him". Meanwhile, Bob keeps laughing, and Gareth knocks him out in anger. After this the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Slabtown"[]

Beth wakes up on a hospital bed with her arm in a cast and sutures on her cheek. She gets up and looks out the window, and finds herself in Atlanta. Beth bangs the door, asking for help. Someone opens the door, and Beth steps back. A doctor and a female cop enter the room and introduce themselves as Dr. Steven Edwards and officer Dawn Lerner. They tell Beth that she is in Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta and she was found on the road, wrist broken and was alone when they found her (possibly contradicting what truly happened when she was abducted). In an ominous tone, Dawn tells Beth, "You owe us." After this, the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Self Help"[]

The episode starts with Abraham driving down the road in the church bus. Rosita is teasing Abraham about his hair getting long; Abraham is relaxed and joking, and says that he's thinking about becoming a plumber. He further states that the successful end of his mission is in sight. Rosita says she'll cut Abraham's hair later that night.

Tara tells Eugene that his hair is getting a little long in the back, and suggests he gets it cut. Then, she jokes, "Or is it your source of power?" Eugene responds, "I ain't slaying a lion anytime soon, and I wouldn't be putting any wagers on me dispatching 1,000 philistines with the jawbone of an ass." Tara asks Eugene what's up, and he says he's thinking about what that preacher did.

Maggie tells Glenn that maybe Daryl and Carol came back, and the rest of them are right behind. She turns around, and asks Eugene how long it will take once he gets on the terminal and does what he needs to do. Eugene says it depends on the density of the infected around target sites worldwide. After Eugene rattles off some more scientific jargon, Glenn asks Eugene, "Why the hair?" Eugene says because he likes it, and he adds no one is taking scissor or clipper to it anytime soon. Eugene says that the smartest man he ever knew, his old boss T. Brooks Ellis (the director of the human genome project) loved his hair.

As the bus passes by a group of walkers, a tire suddenly blows out. Abraham loses control and the bus swerves, hits another vehicle, and flips over on its side. Walkers start to approach the motionless bus. After this, the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Consumed"[]

The episode begins with a flashback of Carol driving away from Rick in the station wagon, right after she was exiled from the group. Carol parks on the side of the road, and is sobbing against the steering wheel. A walker comes up and starts banging on the window. She screams at it to go away, before driving off.

Carol pulls up in front of a building that used to be a law firm. She goes inside, and rattles a can of pens to see if any walkers are inside. There is no response, so Carol gathers some empty bottles from a recycling bin to use for water storage. Later that night, Carol finishes reading a magazine and blows out a candle. She goes to sleep with her pistol in her hand. The following day, Carol is at the window, setting up plastic bags to capture rain water. She spots a plume of smoke billowing up from the direction of the prison. Carol quickly gets in her station wagon and drives to the prison, presumably to see if her old group needs help. She finds the prison in flames. After this, the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Crossed"[]

Daryl, Tyreese and Sasha fortify the church, building barricades out of splintered pews and a stockade of organ pipes, as Gabriel watches the desecration with dismay.

Michonne and Rick, meanwhile, hammer boards across the windows. Michonne offers to go on the rescue mission to Atlanta in Rick's place, but Rick says he owes it to Carol.

Rick, Daryl, Tyreese, Sasha and Noah leave for Atlanta. As Carl and Michonne board up more windows, Gabriel furiously scrubs at the floor, trying in vain to remove the blood stains left by the massacre of Gareth's crew. The title screen, then begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Coda"[]

The episode opens with Rick running, while Bob tries to get free of his cuffs. Rick jumps in the police car, and quickly catches up to him. He gets on the car's PA, and warns Bob to stop. Bob ignores the warnings, so Rick hits him with the car. Bob says his back is broken, and begs to go back to the hospital. Rick refuses, to which Bob responds by telling him the group is doomed, and they'll die trying to take the hospital. Rick shoots him in the head, and tells him to shut up. The title screen, then slowly begins as Rick is walking back to the car.

The credits remain the same.

"What Happened and What's Going On"[]

17 days have passed since Beth's death.

Maggie and Noah are still coping with Beth's unexpected demise. After leaving the hospital, Rick, Glenn, Daryl, Tyreese and Sasha go for a supply run. Rick checks a truck, clears it out, and takes it for transportation to Virginia.

Several glimpses show locations with significance to Tyreese: a small house, referencing the cabin at the grove; the prison; and Woodbury. Some pictures of Noah along with his twin brothers are also shown.

When the night comes, Noah tells Rick that Beth was supposed to leave with him from the hospital to accompany him to the community where his family resides. Rick asks where it is and Noah tells him that it is just outside Richmond, Virginia, approximately 530 miles northeast of Atlanta. Despite it being far away, Rick decides to tell the rest of the group that the place Noah mentioned would be their next destination. The place was secured when Noah left the place, walled, and was a home for 20 people. "It's a long trip, but if it works out. It's the last long trip we have to make," Rick says. Glenn questions what if it's not around anymore. Rick says that they would keep going, before being added by Michonne who said, "Then we find a new place."

Some glimpses are shown again: a skeleton of human remains in the woods and a sun drawing made of chalk on a road. Lizzie and Mika appears in a vision as they were last seen: bloodied and with the wounds that killed them. Mika looks at the camera and says, "It's better now." A glimpse of the photo of the cabin is again seen, blood dripping down onto it, slowly building up to the title screen.

The credits remain the same.

"Them"[]

The episode begins with Maggie sitting in the woods. She is crying, apparently in mourning for Beth. A walker slowly makes its way through the bushes towards her. It gets dangerously close, but becomes stuck between two trees. Maggie promptly dispatches it with her knife. Meanwhile, Daryl digs up a worm and eats it, implying the group is on the road without supplies. Sasha walks along a dried-up creek, in search of water. She notices several dead frogs, which suggests there is little available. The three of them make their way back to the others, who are waiting on the road, the title screen then begins.

The list of credits are as follows:

As of this episode, Emily Kinney (Beth Greene) and Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese Williams) have been removed from the opening credits.

"The Distance"[]

The episode starts with Maggie and Sasha bringing Aaron to the barn where the rest of the group is resting. Rick and the others appear to be wary over Aaron's arrival. Maggie gives Rick Aaron's gun, which Rick keeps as he asks Aaron what his intentions are. Aaron informs the group that he had been watching them and that he was the one who supplied them with the bottles of water the previous day. Rick chooses not to believe him, and convinces the group that Aaron has another agenda. Aaron, knowing that he would believe so, asks Sasha to give Rick his backpack, directing him to a small set of photographs of his community which he had taken as evidence of its existence. As Aaron explains what his community is about and emphasizes on its security, Rick punches him in the face, knocking him out. The title screen, then begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Remember"[]

Rick's group walks through Alexandria's front gate. They're met by a guard, Nicholas, who orders them to hand over their weapons. They refuse and Rick attempts to reason by saying they're not even sure if they are going to stay, but Aaron intervenes and insists they can keep their guns until after they speak with the community's leader, Deanna Monroe. Rick, then tells Sasha to kill a nearby walker, before the gate closes. Rick then proceeds to say "It's a good thing we're here", and the title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Forget"[]

Sasha wakes up, and glances at a family portrait left behind in her new house. She gathers the portrait, along with several other pictures, and takes them outside the walls for target practice. After destroying the targets, she sits on a tree stump, and quietly says to herself, "Come and get me". The title screen, then begins.

The list of credits are as follows:

Emily Kinney as Beth Greene

Chad L. Coleman as Tyreese Williams

As of this episode, Emily Kinney (Beth Greene) and Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese Williams) were re-added to the opening credits.

"Spend"[]

The list of credits are as follows:

As of this episode, Emily Kinney (Beth Greene) and Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese Williams) were removed from the opening credits once again.

"Try"[]

Sasha, in the guard tower, shoots at a walker knocking on the wall.

Daryl and Aaron are outside the wall. Aaron mentions there are more walkers here than normal. Daryl points off at a faint light in the distance, indicating that is why there are more walkers wandering in that direction. The title screen begins.

The credits remain the same.

"Conquer"[]

Morgan wakes up in the back of a car. He smiles upon the sight of a rabbit's foot hanging on the rear-view mirror. He cooks himself some breakfast and sits down to eat it. Suddenly, a man with a "W" on his forehead appears, pointing a gun at Morgan. "You can lower that", Morgan says. However, the man continues to aim at him. They start a conversation where the man tells a story about how the first settlers used natives to hunt wolves.

"They are back now" he states. He also explains that he and his group spend their time going from settlement to settlement, murdering and robbing people as they go along, speaking with a friendly tone. Suddenly, the mood turns darker when the man states his intentions to take all of Morgan's belongings, including Morgan himself. Morgan replies that he has no problem with the man taking his stuff, but refuses to let the man take him away. Suddenly, another man attacks Morgan from behind with a sickle, though Morgan easily dodges the attack. He arms himself with his staff. "Go now", he warns both men. Ignoring this, they both attack. Morgan beats both of them with ease. He repeats his previous suggestion but is attacked again. He knocks them both unconscious and attempts to shoot a walker that arrives at the scene with the man's pistol, to then find that the gun wasn't loaded. Morgan, ultimately, kills the walker with his staff. He puts both of the men in the back of the car and honks the horn a couple of times. He then takes the rabbit foot and leaves. The title screen, then begins.

Season 9[]

"A New Beginning"[]

This is the first appearance of the new animated credits, which more closely resemble the art of the comics. With the exception of a few select images, these are mostly black and white. The imagery in these credits is:

The credits open on a murder of black crows flying to the right, likely as a reference to the crows from "Inmates".
The crows then fly onto a withered tree with bright green leaves, and eat scraps of meat (reference to the crows pecking a dead animal in "Days Gone By"), until the tree suddenly sprouts leaves and the birds fly away in a panic.
- This is the same tree that appeared in the field where the war with the Saviors had ended, with the same signs on it..
  - Stuck to the top of the tree, you can see Rick's Hatchet (his primary weapon of choice from s6-9).
  - The Governor's eyepatch can be seen hanging off of one of the branches.
  - Abraham's dog tags, given to him by Rosita, can be seen on yet another.
  - Daryl's zombie-ear-necklace, he made himself as a reward for himself, in "Chupacabra" can be seen on a branch on the far right.
  - Next to the tree, a sword can be seen, that presumably had belonged to Jesus.
The camera flys past a skull with a pitchfork presumably belonging to Andrea in it, that is covered in Cherokee roses, as a reference to Carol and Sophia. We then pan to some of Daryl's bolts and a crossbow.
The helicopter that belonging to the Civic Republic Military can be seen overhead as we see two horses with Rick and Michonne riding them before panning into a graveyard.
- On the grave on the left, we can see Hershel's pocket-watch, presumably meaning this is Glenn's grave, and on the grave on the right we can see Carl's gun, presumably meaning this is Carl's grave. In the middle we can see Michonne's Katana.
With then zoom out of the eye of a walker that is presumably the same walker we seen in a first-person-perspective in the previous intro's. Behind the walker is a brick wall, with trees behind and it, and moss growing on it. Rick's hat can also be seen at the on top of the wall.
We go inside a makeshift wall - most likely Alexandria's or Hilltop's with "JSS" carved into it, meaning "Just Survive Somehow", that was commonly said by Enid. Next to that says "FINAL WARNING", which comes from "Warning Signs" and we see a motorcycle - also Daryl's, the bloody Lucille, Rick's colt-python, as well as the red machete that had previously belonged to Rick.
We fly past a windmill with a noose on it - referencing the death of Gregory later in the episode. The windmill suddenly illuminates.
The birds fly in front of the camera again and cover the screen with blackness.
The blackness opens to reveal the eye of a walker, and we pull out to see that it is in a much larger herd that seems to be heading for Hilltop
In the herd, we can see a bright red walker.
The screen then rotates, and focuses on the one walker heading towards Alexandria.
We pull out to see the title card, covered in moss, before once again fading to black
