The episode, "We Are the End of the World," isn't all about Beta's origin. Motherhood and a different kind of nature vs. nurture are more prevalent ideas, but early Beta offers deeper insights into present-day Alpha.

4/5

Here's something I never thought we'd see: Alpha and Beta's meet-cute, complete with flirting in the hallway of a psychiatric hospital and Alpha playing coy when asked about her name.

B

"We Are The End Of The World" spends at least as much time on the more engaging current events as it does the past, which also helps it supersede being just another unnecessary flashback episode.

"We are the End of the World" is a slow-burn character study that does little to move forward events despite offering interesting insights into Alpha and Beta's history.

While the Season 10 premiere of The Walking Dead set up the new status quo for our zombie apocalypse heroes, the second episode, "We Are The End of the World," flipped the script and focused squarely on the villains.

Another solid and well-made episode, in which we not only learn more about the Whisperers, but we learn more about Alpha and Beta.
