And according to her the next episode should satisfy the adrenaline junkies (paraprhased)

Okay, Daryl and Connie save the day, grab Henry and take off from the Whisperers. What can you tell us about next week’s episode of The Walking Dead?
There’s just so much cool stuff in next week’s episode. It’s really just some great, great action because you can’t take anything from Alpha without there being a response. So I’ll say that we’ll follow that group that’s trying to make their way back to safety, and we’ll get to know more about Beta and the way he deals with problems. Everybody did a great job with the episode, so I hope fans like it as much I do.
