"The Cell" is the third episode of the seventh season and 86th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 6, 2016. The episode was written by Angela Kang and directed by Alrick Riley.
The episode focuses on a completely new group of survivors living in an impressive community that seems to have it all. Meanwhile, Daryl (Norman Reedus) is being kept prisoner and psychologically tortured by Dwight (Austin Amelio), a reluctant member of the Saviors.
In the midst of the Saviors' home, the Sanctuary, Dwight (Austin Amelio) serves Daryl (Norman Reedus) dog food sandwiches inside a dark cell he's being kept in as prisoner, under Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) order. In addition to being tormented by repetitively playing the song "Easy Street", by The Collapsable Hearts Club, extremely loud to prevent him from sleeping, Dwight shows Daryl the fate of other captives. The other prisoners have all become walkers, who are just aimlessly walking around in a walker-encrusted fenced off area while others have reanimated as walkers after being gored through poles.
