Things got really uncomfortable on the December 4 episode of The Walking Dead, especially while Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) emotionally tortured Carl (Chandler Riggs) inside the Sanctuary. During an intense one-on-one conversation inside Negan’s gorgeous bedroom, the villain demanded that Carl take off his eye patch and show him his missing eye. Yikes.
Carl hesitated until he realized he didn’t have a choice in the matter, then slowly but surely unwrapped the bandage from around his head. What was hiding underneath was his big, black eye socket, along with what appeared to be scars from stitches around the missing eye. This is the very first time we’ve gotten to see Carl’s missing eye since Ron (Austin Abrams) accidentally shot it out while trying to kill Rick (Andrew Lincoln). It was an emotional moment for Carl, too, because once Negan started ripping into him about the “disgusting” eye socket, the teenager broke down in tears.
This led to a surprisingly soft moment from Negan, in which he appeared to genuinely feel bad for making Carl upset. In response he not only apologized, but encouraged Carl to stop wearing an eye patch and instead embrace his “bad a-s” new look. Despite the emotional toll this moment took on Carl, he got off extremely easy after killing two of Negan’s men in an attempt to take the man down himself. However, the episode ended pretty ominously with Negan suggesting that he might just have to take Alexandria for himself! You can read a FULL recap of the December 4 episode by clicking HERE.
