Last night, Tovah Feldshuh returned to the show, briefly, as a walker-fied Deanna. Her short, flesh-hungry return offered Spencer (Austin Nichols) some sense of closure, as he put his mother out of her misery while Michonne (Danai Gurira) acted as witness.

Based on Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's Image Comics series of the same name, "The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 pm EST on AMC.
