Either way, Beth dying was a surprise indeed! Another one of the old survivors dead. Beth alone dying would have been sad, but when Daryl started crying it was worse!
Now let's focus our attention to Maggie. She basically went a whole half-season not giving a *insert word here* about Beth's existence: she searched half the state for Glenn, but her own sister? She goes to Washington! She comes back, Daryl says where Beth is and she acts a bit concerned and then breaks down completely when she sees Beth dead - I call it crocodile tears!

But yeah, a good ending! I don't know why Rick decided they were going to hit the road again now that the hospital is safer. Hmmm.
