"Something They Need" is the fifteenth episode of the seventh season and 98th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on March 26, 2017. The episode was written by Corey Reed and directed by Michael Slovis.

The episode focuses on Tara (Alanna Masterson) leading Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and a group of Alexandrians to Oceanside, after failing to keep her promise to Cyndie (Sydney Park), in order to retrieve guns so they can fight the Saviors. Meanwhile, Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) is questioned by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and must make a heartbreaking decision.

Tara (Alanna Masterson) informs Rick (Andrew Lincoln) about the existence and arsenal of the Oceanside. He, Tara, and a small group set off to claim the weapons. While Rick and the others wait at the outskirts, planting an explosive to distract the Oceanside survivors, Tara sneaks into the community to face their leader, Natania (Deborah May), and to convince her to join in Rick's plan. Natania refuses, but when Rick's explosives goes off, Natania gains Tara's gun and holds her in check. As the other Oceanside residents come to check the explosion, Rick's group holds them at gunpoint, explaining his plan to face the Saviors. Natania emerges with Tara, refusing to join them, but just then, a horde of walkers drawn by the blast appear. In the confusion, Cyndie (Sydney Park) subdues Natania with a punch to the face, freeing Tara from gunpoint. Rick efficiently leads both communities into quelling the hoard, and Natania angrily concedes to Rick. Rick's group leaves with Oceanside's weapons and some of its survivors willing to help in the fight.
