Dr. Edwin Jenner whispered to Rick Grimes at the CDC that everyone is infected with the zombie virus, meaning anyone who dies—bit or not—will reanimate, a crucial secret Rick initially kept from his group, causing conflict. This revelation explained why a bitten person (Randall) turned without a scratch and why Shane also turned after dying, highlighting that the infection is airborne and always present in all humans.
What crucial information did Jenner whisper to Rick in The Walking Dead? Edwin Jenner, the scientist in The Walking Dead, disclosed to Rick Grimes that all individuals, bitten or not, carried the zombie infection. This disclosure caused a rift in the group due to Rick's decision to withhold Jenner's secret.
It's 'cause I'm a better man than you, Rick. 'Cause I can be here and I'll fight for it. You come back here and you just destroy everything!
In the original show and in its five spinoff series, there has never been a character that is immune to the zombie virus. That fact alone makes Laurent special, and also makes The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon special. Furthermore, Laurent's immunity changes the course of The Walking Dead's overarching story.
Just before Rick leaves the CDC, Jenner whispers something in his ear: Everyone is infected. Whether you're bitten or scratched by a walker or not, you will become a zombie once you die. Rick doesn't reveal the news to the rest of the group until the Season 2 finale.
Eight years later, Rick's wife, Michonne, reunited with him outside the city and orchestrated a false identity to pass as a "B". Lieutenant Colonel Donald Okafor rescued and covered for Pearl Thorne and later saw that Rick was also an "A". Okafor believed that "A's" held the key to changing the CRM from the inside.
Edwin Jenner was a survivor of the apocalypse and the last remaining scientist of the Center for Disease Control. A former virologist, Jenner lost hope in the world after failing to find a cure by working with samples of infected tissue.
Yes, Daryl eventually finds out Rick is alive at the very end of The Walking Dead series finale, when a delirious Judith reveals that Rick survived and Michonne left to find him, prompting Daryl to finally leave on his motorcycle in search of them, though his initial reaction was surprisingly subdued.
There's nothing to indicate she is immune, so far. I mean, maybe Carl is immune. Maybe any survivor is immune. If anybody could be, it could be Bob, considering the odd happenings surrounding his attack and supposedly being saved by his bandage.
Judith was one of the first children born during the apocalypse, and her birth was controversial — with Rick Grimes confirming that Shane Walsh is her biological father in season 7. But Rick has always raised Judith as his own, and Michonne became her adoptive mother during the show's six-year time jump.
The theory in the "Walking Dead" fandom was that Gimple found William Riggs difficult to deal with, and that influenced his decision. The other theory was that Chandler, about to turn 18, was set to be paid more as an adult actor, giving the stingy execs at AMC a financial incentive to kill him off.
Rick forgives Lori for sleeping with Shane. Patricia forgives Otis for yelling at her. Dale forgives Rick for the deaths of other members of the group and the choices he had made in the past, before he dies, and thanks him for keeping the group alive as long as he did.
Eventually, it becomes clear that Rick is imagining the phone call. The voices on the other end belong to nearly everyone who had died in the series up to that point. The reveal is both chilling and strangely touching, as Lori and the other ghostly voices convince Rick that it is not his time to join them.
Rick is attending Diana's party in Alexandria. The little boy stamps an A on ricks hand. I mean, obviously it's for Alexandria. But there was also an A on the box car they were in at terminus, and then the hunters painted an A on the church when they took Bob.
Last appearance of Edwin Jenner. Last appearance of the CDC. The title of the episode, "TS-19", refers to the fact that Dr. Edwin Jenner's wife, Candace Jenner, was Test Subject 19.
They've been best friends, nothing more, ever since. This is exactly the kind of platonic soulmate relationship that audiences and critics alike claim television is lacking, most recently with The Bear. While Carol has had multiple romantic and sexual partners on The Walking Dead, Daryl has not.
It's been amazing to work with him and get to know him and he's an awesome dude and we're definitely going to miss him." However, in a 2018 interview with The Plain Dealer, DeMunn stated that he had asked for Dale to be killed off, following AMC's decision to fire Frank Darabont from the show.
In The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes was initially designated an "A," meaning a strong, potentially dangerous individual, but Jadis (Anne) lied and classified him as a "B" (a normal survivor/consignee) to save him from being killed by the secretive CRM, who use A's for dangerous experiments and B's for recruitment/labor. Later, it's revealed both A's and B's are valuable to the CRM, with A's being leaders/fighters and B's being followers, but the CRM actually wants A's for their potential to change the world, with Rick and Pearl Thorne being exceptions that get recruited as powerful A's.
But it doesn't affect other animals and humans. It's kind of exclusive to just them. Because the virus can only infect host cells found in the human brain.
