In General
- Nick showing how resourceful and effective he can be on his own.
- He proves this by killing a member of the Vultures all by himself.
- Morgan being in the show and still showing signs of kicking ass. Hell in the first episode of Season 4 alone (the season he premieres in) he manages to fight of a large horde of walkers and a group of hostile survivors with the help of some allies despite being only armed with his staff and eventually getting shot in the leg, and even manages to kill a hostile survivor by detonating his grenade vest.
Season One
The Good Man
- Daniel calmly luring a huge horde of walkers to the military compound.
Season Two
Monster
- Nick using the propeller on the speedboat to killer a walker trying to attack Travis.
Grotesque
- Despite the men shooting at the walkers, Nick still continues to move on with the horde showing no fear.
Wrath
- Travis finally learns that Derek and Brandon killed Chris. The two tried to lie to Travis about it, but they contradicted their story and Travis noticed. What follows is a very cathartic No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. It gets particularly karmic in that they died in much the same circumstances as Chris did, being forced to crawl, to beg for mercy, before ultimately being killed.
Season Three
Season Four
- Wendell shows that while he needs a wheelchair to get around, he's far from helpless. He has spikes he can deploy from the back of his chair, and later crawls the length of an 18-wheeler to hold Martha at gunpoint.
Season Five
Season Six
The Beginning
- Isabelle coming to save Daniel's group, opening the possibility for the CRM to play a bigger role in the series.
- The fact that Teddy actually succeeded in his evil plan. He may be dead by the end, but the warheads leave Texas devastated, and the group scattered.
Season Seven
An Earlier Heaven
- Morgan finally breaks Madison by telling her that both Nick and Alicia are dead (though Alicia actually isn't). After Madison had been such a pompous ass pretending to be loyal to PADRE, it's downright satisfying to finally see her break down and grieve her children before joining Morgan's side.
