The Walking Dead stormed back onto our screens with 'No Way Out' - a mind-blowing tale of mutilation, murder and mayhem.
The next episode? It's... different. And that's an understatement.
'The Next World' is quite unlike any other episode the show's aired before. NO SPOILERS - but here are a few hints at what to expect from this risky departure.
1. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) take a road-trip - and meet a dangerous new element.
2. Speaking of Rick, expect a wholly different Mr Grimes after what happened to Carl (Chandler Riggs).
3. And yes, Carl's fate after that shocking injury is addressed. And quickly. No delayed gratification here.
What to Read Next
4. Could there be an unexpected connection between two characters who've barely shared a scene before?
5. 'The Next World' features a relatively minimal cast. Carol, Morgan, Abraham... all these and more go absent.
6. The zombie takeover of Alexandria may be over, but its after-effects continue to be felt - by one character in particular.
7. The finest line of the episode? "So long, ya prick!"
8. In fact, this might well be the funniest episode of The Walking Dead to date. We did warn you it was different.
The Walking Dead continues on FOX in the UK on Monday, February 22 at 9pm.
