!!Season 1, Episode 2
--->'''Insurance firm manager Blair and her receptionist Gina attempt to flee Atlanta at the start of the walker plague, only to find themselves caught in a time loop that keeps ending with their deaths.'''
----
* ChekhovsGun: Gina's scarf and lighter are used in the final loop to ignite the tanker's fuel and burn up a walker horde.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: In one loop, Blair's reaction to seeing she's cornered by walkers is to bare her neck and tell them to "get it over with".
* GroundhogDayLoop: The episode is built around Gina and Blair reliving the same few hours over and over again.
* InSpiteOfANail: Even in the final loop, Gina and Blair's best cooperative efforts fail to save the woman in the gas station parking lot from being eaten by her infected husband.
* OutOfGenreExperience: Aside from being a franchise about a ZombieApocalypse, the ''Walking Dead'' universe has always been mostly grounded in reality, without any supernatural elements (even the walkers being the result of a virus rather than any kind of magic). By contrast, this episode features a GroundhogDayLoop for no apparent reason.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After numerous loops leave her slightly unhinged, Gina gives Blair a rambling speech about what a BadBoss she is.
* ResurrectionDeathLoop: Each loops ends with Gina and Blair dying.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** While Blair insists that she and her boyfriend are only going on vacation, it's clear that they're trying to escape the slowly unfolding chaos in Atlanta.
** The DHS agent, by contrast, outright admits to trying to escape the city before the military puts it under total lockdown.
** In at least one loop, the tanker driver takes advantage of Blair and Gina's arguing to jump back in his truck and drive away.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Gina keeps her mentally unwell brother's shotgun in her trunk to keep it away from him, and puts it to use trying to hijack the gas tanker.
