Spend

"Spend" is the fourteenth episode of the fifth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on March 15, 2015. It was written by Matthew Negrete and directed by Jennifer Lynch. It marked Tyler James Williams' final appearance as supporting character Noah and Daniel Bonjour's final appearance as Aiden Monroe. Plot Gabriel, torn over by his loss of faith, tears up a Bible. Elsewhere, Noah meets with Deanna's husband Reg to become his student so he'll know what to do to keep the walls up. Noah then goes to meet Glenn, Tara, Aiden, and Nicholas, who are going on a repair mission, to get parts needed from a nearby warehouse to repair the solar power system. Eugene is reluctant to go, but is the only one that can identify the required parts. As Rick makes his rounds, he passes Jessie's house and notices her working on one of her sculptures, which has been vandalized. Rick offers to find the culprit, but she brushes him off. Rick is later approached by Jessie's husband Pete, who tries to cultivate a friendship with him. Glenn's group reaches the warehouse, and although the group is initially cautious, Aiden shoots a walker wearing a grenade, leading to Tara suffering a severe head injury. After the group rescues Tara, Eugene promises to protect her, with the others going off to find Aiden. Eugene is able to overcome his cowardice to evacuate Tara to their van which he uses to lure the walkers away from outside the building. The other three find Aiden still alive but impaled against a wall. Nicholas, panicking at the onslaught of walkers, tells Aiden that running is "who we are", and tries to escape through revolving doors in the front of the warehouse. Glenn and Noah try to free Aiden, but realizing it is impossible, they leave him to be attacked.
