"Omega" is the tenth episode of the ninth season of AMC's The Walking Dead. It is the one-hundred and twenty-fifth episode of the series overall. It premiered on February 17, 2019. It was written by Channing Powell and directed by David Boyd.
A captive or a refugee? A new arrival at the Hilltop opens up about the leader of a group of mask-wearing savages. A search party sets out on a daring mission to find two missing friends.
In a flashback at the start of the apocalypse, a young Lydia and her parents are holed up in a shelter. Frank rants that no one's coming for them, but Alpha assures Lydia he's kidding and sings a silly song based on Lydia's name to her to calm her down. Lydia traces a tattoo of her name on Alpha's inner arm and looks up at her father, who is looking at his wife and daughter disdainfully.
In the present, Lydia tells her story to Henry in her cell at the Hilltop. Henry tells Lydia about Carol, who would do anything to protect him. He asks more about her parents and Lydia remembers her father dying from a stab wound. She says her mother is also relentless and is not someone anyone would want to mess with. Outside, Daryl is sitting by the window and listening to their conversation.
In the woods, Tara leads Magna and her group in the search for Alden and Luke. They find a group of walkers feasting on their horses and kill them, while checking they aren't Whisperers. Connie notices that the horses were cut open and skinned with knives. Tara realizes that Lydia lied about it just being her mother out there and decides they should go back to Hilltop until they find out what this is.
Back in the cell at Hilltop, Henry offers Lydia an egg. She tells him to keep it and that hunger is a gift. She asks why he's being nice to her and he says that he, his brother, and his dad were messed up when they were first found out there and it took a lot of someone being nice to make things okay again. Lydia says her dad said that things will never be okay again.
In another flashback, Frank wants to leave the shelter with other people because supplies are running out, but Alpha decides they're staying to protect their daughter. He calls her delusional and starts trimming his beard, saying that with the apocalypse he does what he wants now. Alpha distracts Lydia, calling her by the nickname "Bug" and resuming a game of checkers. Lydia makes her move, to which Alpha replies "Checkmate" with a smile. Lydia smiles and says that's chess.
In the cell, Lydia says "he-" before cutting off and rapidly correcting herself to say that "she always said ['checkmate']". Henry tells Lydia her mom seems nice and reveals he and his adoptive parents are from another community called "The Kingdom", which is a day's ride from Hilltop. Suddenly, Daryl flies downstairs and takes Henry out. Outside, Daryl scolds Henry for endangering his family and reveals he has been using him to get information out of her. Henry lashes out, believing Lydia to be a good person who got messed up. He calls Daryl an asshole and tells him to get the information himself. Daryl goes back to Lydia's cell and offers her medicine to help with her ear, but she refuses. He tells her that Luke and Alden are missing, but she says she knows nothing about it. He then asks her if her mom would kill their people if she crossed them. Lydia says that she would if she had to.
