"Heads Up" is the seventh episode of the sixth season and 74th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 22, 2015. The episode was written by Channing Powell and directed by David Boyd.

This episode reveals the unresolved fate of Glenn Rhee after the episode "Thank You" and builds tension for the mid-season finale "Start to Finish." It adapts the rope-climbing scene from "Volume 14, "Issue #81" of the comic book series.

Following the events of "Thank You", the walkers tear into Nicholas' corpse, which is on top of Glenn. Glenn crawls underneath a dumpster and stays there until the next day as the walkers disperse. Enid throws Glenn a water bottle; he follows her into a thrift shop and she tells him she fled when the Wolves attacked Alexandria, and runs off. Despite his concerns for Maggie's safety, when Glenn kills a zombified David and reads his note for Betsy, Glenn realizes he has to go after Enid.

In Alexandria, Rick inspects the walls then with Carl gives Ron handgun lessons. Ron is eager to shoot, but Rick won't let him touch live ammunition. Later, Ron sneaks into the armory and steals cartridges for his pistol.

Carol informs on Morgan who admits to Rick and Michonne that he let the Wolves, that subsequently attacked Rick in the RV, escape. Morgan points out how Rick once spared him, and he saved Daryl and Aaron from a Wolves' trap, which helped lead the Wolves to attack Alexandria. Morgan confesses that he doesn't know what's right anymore and wanted to kill the Wolves for what they'd done but also knows people can change, and wants to uphold his belief that all life is precious.

Glenn tracks Enid to a family restaurant and refuses to let her go, even when she brandishes a handgun, Enid begrudgingly gives in to his determination. On their way back to Alexandria, Enid finds green balloons and decides to use them to distract the walkers. The two arrive at Alexandria, but find it surrounded by walkers.
