* {{Determinator}}: Mo refuses EvilIsPetty: Shrike can't stop herself from smugly gloating about how Morgan killed so many walkers, but failed to give up on trying to save Grace, even going so far as to perform kill the radiotherapy herself. Unfortunately, one that ultimately bit Grace by the time they get to the train car its far too late.surprise.


Added DiffLines:

* SanitySlippage: The prospect of Grace's death becoming more and more likely throughout the episode, compounded by when she finally does die, leads Morgan to slowly come more and more unraveled. He keeps it together long enough to put down Grace, however, but when Mo decides to rejoin PADRE, he starts losing it even more.


Added DiffLines:

* YouWillNotSurvive: June hears of Grace's cancer and admits that even if her treatment saves Grace from the bite, it will only give her some extra time with her loved ones. When her treatment on Finch begins failing and she hears that Grace is not recovering, she admits to Mo there's nothing else she can do for her.

Added DiffLines:

* AllForNothing: June's treatment appears to be failing, meaning that even when Mo gets Grace to the train car after an entire episode of chases and hostilities, Grace's life cannot be saved.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Mo is unable to put down her mother despite her promise to do so, and Grace is given enough time to reanimate and attack her.

!!Season 8, Episode 5

-->'''Morgan and Mo race to save Grace’s life.'''




* CharacterDeath: Grace dies of her walker bite.



* ContinuityNod:
** Grace uses her last breaths to tell Mo how saving her life as a baby was what saved her and Morgan from committing suicide in the face of the nukes in the Season 6 finale "The Beginning."
** The end of the episode sees Morgan revive his old catchphrase - "I don’t die."



* FaceDeathWithDignity: Grace accepts that its too late to save her, and just wants to spend what little time she has left with her family.

* FailedASpotCheck: If Morgan had simply made sure he knocked out the last two prefects and actually killed Shrike, he wouldn’t have been trapped in the train car.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Hypocrite}}: Shrike claims to only want the best for PADRE’s children but uses prefects as her armed forces, putting their lives at risk since for all she knows, the group ''could'' start using lethal force against them.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: Mo is ultimately unable to put down Grace after she dies, and has to be saved by Morgan, who does it himself.
* StarCrossedLovers: Grace alludes to this, stating that she and Morgan were never meant to be. Given how much of the series they’ve spent forced apart and unable to have a normal relationship, it’s possible she’s right.
* WouldHurtAChild: Shrike weaponizes the inverse of this trope, sending prefects after the group since she knows they won’t kill the brainwashed teenagers working for PADRE. She ironically fulfills the trope since she risks the prefects’ lives in the event that the group ''does'' decide to use lethal force.
