Walking dead how does sophia die

While Sophia is trying to find her way back to the group, she is attacked and bitten on the left shoulder by a walker and either dies of the infection or blood loss. Eventually, a zombified Sophia is found by Otis and is put into Hershel's barn. Though Daryl finds clues to her whereabouts -- her doll, and a shelter she might have occupied — Sophia does not surface again until Shane breaks open the barn doors at Hershel's farm to slaughter the walkers inside.

After the massacre, a final walker emerges: Sophia. The group is stunned. Sophia is separated from Carol , and is discovered by two walkers.

She runs away from them, with Eliza's doll in her arms. Rick runs after her and carries her to a safe spot in the nearby woods so he could go and kill the walkers. He does so successfully, but when he comes back, Sophia is nowhere to be found.

Evolution is upon us. The Walking Dead lives. The series, which started in and will have run for 11 seasons, is not disappearing entirely, though. AMC announced Sunday night during a brief commercial that its final 11th season of "The Walking Dead " will premiere this summer. It was confirmed in interviews that Carl's death served a very specific purpose. It didn't happen because Riggs wanted to leave; it happened because of the emotional impact it had on Rick.

After noticing a herd coming their way, Rick urges the group to hide under the cars on the highway. Sophia looks at her mother, terrified, as the herd passes through. When she thinks the herd has passed, Sophia attempts to get up, but is given the unwanted attention of two walkers who were still passing through.

Terrified, Sophia exits the highway and runs into the nearby woods, the walkers on her tail. She is soon found by Rick, who urges her to stay by a creek while he distracts and kills the zombies. She nods, saying that she will, however when Rick and the rest of the group return, she is nowhere to be found.

Following her disappearance, the group are very concerned and determined to find Sophia. They send out multiple search parties into the woods to find her, to no avail. After Carl is shot, the group are forced to leave the highway and go to Hershel's farm. They leave a message on a car incase Sophia returns to the highway, saying "Sophia, stay here, we will come back every day".

Sophia appears in a flashback at the beginning of the episode, where she was seen playing checkers with Carl on a highway at the beginning of the outbreak, when the Peletier and the Grimes family first meet. After learning that walkers are being kept in the barn on Hershel's farm, Shane breaks open the door of barn, where dozens of walkers spill out of.

Shane and the group take out the walkers. As the last walker emerges, stumbling out of the barn, the group are stunned and shocked to see that the walker is Sophia.

Carol, beyond devastated, tries to run to Sophia, however Daryl stops her. The group look on in shock and sadness as Sophia slowly approaches them. Rick takes lead from Shane, walks up, and shoots a reanimated Sophia in the head, ending her suffering.

Sophia's body is wrapped in a blanket by Andrea. Along with Annette and Shawn , Hershel's wife and son, Sophia is buried under some trees by the barn. After Sophia fled from walkers on the highway, she found places to hide and to sleep. She was, however, soon attacked and bitten on the left shoulder by a walker.

She eventually died and reanimated. She was later found by Otis and taken back to Hershel's farm where she was put into the barn. After Shane forced open the barn, the walkers exited and were gunned down by the group.

Once all of the walkers had been put down, Sophia slowly walked out and was mercifully shot in the head by Rick. Sophia and Ed had a fairly distant relationship, at best. Ed had a history of abuse, beating his wife, both physically and possibly sexually.

The same possibly occurred with Sophia, as she seemed to be in fear of him, maintaining her distance from his side.

Shortly before the walker attack on the camp, he opted to remain in his tent due to his shame of the injuries on his face due to an assault from Shane Walsh. He attempted persuading Sophia to remain at his side, but Carol berated him. They departed, and Ed dismissed them angrily. Their relationship wasn't explored more before his death. Carol is the mother of Sophia and she loved her dearly. Carol was very protective of her daughter and is willing to risk her own life in order to keep her safe.

In Season 2 when Sophia went missing, Carol becomes extremely distraught and prayed for Sophia's safety and return. When Sophia emerged from the barn as a Walker, Carol was visibly shocked and broke down in sadness. She went into a state of disbelief and said that it was not her daughter that the group shot.

She then refused to attend Sophia's funeral, claiming that what Rick shot wasn't her daughter and that Sophia had died a long time ago. Eventually she recovered and stated her belief that Sophia was in a better place, heaven. As time went on and as Carol became hardened, she rarely mentioned Sophia which hinted that she had recovered from her daughter's death.

Carol used the memory of her daughter as motivation to survive, even in the toughest of situations when she was ready to give up. The Lintz family also lived on in the series with the casting of Madison's younger brother, Macsen, in the role of Henry, beginning in season 7 before older brother Matt, took over in season 9.

Coincidentally, Henry served as the adopted son of Carol , allowing the brothers to share yet another connection with Madison. Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant.

From time to time, she dives into the world's most popular franchises but Kara primarily focuses on evergreen topics. The fact that she gets to write about The Office regularly is like a dream come true. After graduating college, writing began as a part-time hobby for Kara but it quickly turned into a career. She loves binging a new series and watching movies ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to hidden indie gems. But, despite this, former The Walking Dead star Madison Lintz has revealed she was still shocked when her time on the show came to end abruptly during the second season.

Introduced early on as the daughter of Carol Peletier Melissa McBride , Lintz's character Sophia died in season 2, having gone missing and been bitten by a walker before later being fatally shot by Rick Grimes Andrew Lincoln. However, Sophia's narrative onscreen was vastly different to her storyline in Robert Kirkman's original graphic novels, in which she appeared right up until its last issue in July , and actress Madison Lintz has now admitted that her character's death came as a shock to her for that very reason.

I thought I was not gonna die, because I was still alive in the comics," Lintz recently recalled on Skybound's Talk Dead to Me podcast. And then [executive producer] Gale Anne Hurd ended up calling my mom about a month before I shot the scene and told us the news, and of course it was so sad because that show was so awesome to be on.

While it came as a surprise to her all those years ago, Lintz went on to explain that she "understood" why the show bosses made the decision to kill her off, and added that she remembers being keen to shoot Sophia's final scene due to its emotional weight.
