With the hallucinations over and Rick at peace, he resolves to destroy the bridge and the walker horde no matter what it takes. Naturally this is also when Michonne, Maggie, Daryl, Carol, and everyone else shows up underneath the bridge to try to save him. Unfortunately, it's too late, and Rick shoots at a bushel of dynamite on the bridge, setting off an explosion that blows him and all of the walkers away. Michonne collapses in heaving sobs, and Daryl, clearly in shock, turns and walks into the woods by himself.
Except that, wait a minute . . . RICK SURVIVES!!!!!!! The scene cuts to Jadis, who's standing in the woods downstream from the explosion and who spots Rick's very-much-alive body on the riverbank. She hops on her walkie and begs the mysterious people in the helicopter to land and save Rick, to which they reluctantly agree. The last we see of our beleaguered apocalyptic leader, he's being flown off to an unknown location.
