Warning: this story contains spoilers for Sunday's "Dee" episode of Tales of the Walking Dead. "Let me tell you how I died," says Dee (Samantha Morton) to start Sunday's episode of Tales, revealing the origin of the woman who will become Alpha on The Walking Dead. But Dee's death is a figurative one: the end of Dee is the beginning of Alpha, who doesn't die until Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) takes her decapitated head years later during the Whisperer War. On Tales, Alpha is born when Hera (Anne Beyer) and the Whisperers — survivors who talk in hushed whispers, walk with the dead and wear walker flesh — find Dee moments before she can kill daughter Lydia (Scarlett Blum) to spare her from life in the zombie apocalypse.
