What is the name of the episode where Tyreese Williams dies?

The story behind the answer

Tyreese Williams dies in the episode “What Happened and What’s Going On.” It is the ninth episode of The Walking Dead’s fifth season and the show’s mid-season premiere after “Coda.”

The episode follows Tyreese, Rick, Michonne, Glenn, and Noah as they investigate Noah’s ruined family home near Richmond, Virginia. While looking at photographs, Tyreese is bitten by Noah’s reanimated younger brother. He then loses blood, suffers hallucinations involving deceased characters, and struggles with guilt over the people he believes he failed to protect.

Rick and Michonne amputate Tyreese’s arm in an attempt to save him, but the blood loss is too severe. He dies during the journey back, and Michonne prevents him from reanimating. Viewers sometimes confuse this death with “Coda,” the preceding episode, in which Beth Greene dies at Grady Memorial Hospital.
