Season 6, Episode 8:
The Door
Directed by Michael E. Satrazemis
At his cabin, John prepares to commit suicide, but he is interrupted by walkers washing up near his cabin. While investigating the perimeter, John finds Morgan and Dakota, who are hiding from Virginia's rangers and a walker horde they had walled in on the only bridge out of the area. Depressed, John agrees to help them get through the herd, but refuses to join Morgan's new community despite Morgan's constant attempts to convince him otherwise.
Virginia contacts Morgan, revealing that she is holding Grace, Daniel, Sarah, June, and Wes hostage to ensure Dakota's safety. Ranger Marcus finds the cabin and captures Morgan, forcing John to kill him to save Morgan. By placing doors on the front of an old truck, the three of them drive their way through the herd and eliminate it. Afterwards, Morgan arranges a meeting with Virginia at John's cabin to force him out of hiding from the world. As Morgan leaves, John discovers that Dakota's knife has the same handle as the piece found near the crime scene back at Lawton. Dakota confesses she murdered Cameron and then shoots John to protect her secret. Morgan returns and Dakota points her gun at him. Morgan sees the knife and realizes the truth. Dakota orders Morgan to take her to her community as planned and reveals that she was the one who saved him at Humbug's Gulch after Virginia shot him. Dakota says the only reason she saved him was because she wants him to kill Virginia.
Meanwhile, Dwight brings Alicia and Charlie to the dam community. Morgan radios Dwight and Althea to tell them to prepare for an impending battle against the Pioneers. Alerted by Morgan, June finds John stranded outside his cabin, but he has already died and reanimated. A devastated June puts him down.
