Warning: There are massive spoilers ahead for AMC’s “The Walking Dead” episode, “The Key.”
Sunday’s “The Walking Dead” was full of a few surprises and one big action-packed showdown between Rick and Negan.
While Rick was exacting revenge on the Savior leader, there were some smaller details you may have overlooked, including an indirect nod to a fun comic cover. Keep reading for everything you may have missed on Sunday’s episode.

There’s also a partially used cigarette that falls out of the box. Both hold a special meaning to him.
The ring belongs to his ex-wife Sherry along with the used cigarette.

Dwight holds onto both as a reminder of his ex-wife Sherry who became one of Negan’s wives to save Dwight’s life. She fled the Sanctuary on season seven and left Dwight a note along with her wedding ring at their old home where she apologized for how she changed him.
“You’ve killed and you’ve become everything you didn’t want to be, and it’s my fault,” Sherry’s note read. “You were better than me. Most people are. I let Daryl go because he reminded you of who you used to be, and I wanted to let you forget.”
Since then, Dwight has been trying to reform — or at least stay true to himself and be more of the man Sherry may remember. He’s currently double-crossing Negan’s Saviors to try to help Rick’s group, even if they’re questioning his motives.
Rick and Daryl gather together at a grave.
