Yumiko is part of Princess' hallucinations as shown in the reveal of her "madness"


* AmbiguouslyEvil: We leave the episode not knowing the moral standing of the soldiers, but they at least kept the group alive and presumably did treat Yumiko. This also applies to the rookie soldier who certainly seems sinister at the end of the episode after seemingly making peace with Princess.

* {{Hallucinations}}: Princess suffers from them and hallucinates all of her encounters with Eugene and Ezekiel, including believing that Ezekiel is beating the soldier when it’s in fact her doing it. At the end she hallucinates some walkers as Ezekiel and two of her dressed walkers taunting her and encouraging her to abandon the group.

* AbusiveParents: Princess’s stepdad was a violent, cruel bully who wouldn’t let her eat at the dinner table when her hand was infected from a splinter.

Her actual father averted this from the sound of it.
