"Crossed" is the seventh episode of the fifth season and 58th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 23, 2014. It was written by Seth Hoffman and directed by Billy Gierhart. In the episode, Michonne and Carl Grimes stay at the barricaded Church with Gabriel Stokes as Rick Grimes and the others go on a rescue mission for Beth Greene and Carol Peletier in Atlanta. The episode received generally positive reviews, though most noted the set up for the mid-season finale. This is the first episode to feature all credited series regulars for the fifth season.
The episode title refers to Rosita Espinosa explaining how she met Abraham Ford and Eugene Porter, crossing paths in Dallas. It also refers to Sasha being double-crossed by Sgt. Bob Lamson. Crossed is also the title of a series of comics set in a post-apocalyptic world of sadistic infected.
Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) returns to the church with Noah (Tyler James Williams), informing the group of Beth Greene and Carol Peletier's whereabouts. After some discussion, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl, Noah, Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman), and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) head to Atlanta. They fortify the church by hacking apart the pews and the church's pipe organ to board up the doors and windows and build outer defenses to provide protection for Michonne (Danai Gurira), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam), and Judith. Carl and Michonne give Gabriel a machete and try to teach him how to defend himself, but he is unwilling to learn. Troubled by the desecration of his church and the slaughter of the Terminus survivors, Gabriel secludes himself in his office, pries up the floor boards, and sneaks out under the floor boards where he immediately steps on a nail. Gabriel is attacked by a walker in the woods which he impales on a broken branch, but is unable to kill it after noticing it is wearing a cross on a chain.
