The tension I felt during the baby scene can only be compared to the escape in "No Way Out", this is something that has been really missing from the show ever since. The scene was really scary from Connie's point of view, not hearing the walkers approach, and mostly, because it was't completely predictable how it's gonna play out. I liked all the previous episodes this season (more or less), but this is the one that really convinced me that the show is back on track, the one it left pretty fast after "No Way Out".
Btw I hope the ratings won't keep falling and fans who gave up on the Walking Dead during seasons 7&8 will eventually give it another chance.
