That was Enids motto, to just stay safe even in the bleakest circumstances.
And the circumstances were pretty damn bleak on Sundays The Calm Before episode ofThe Walking Dead.
We spoke to Katelyn Nacon all about Enids untimely demise.

We asked Nacon all that and more.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So tell me how you got the news about Enids death?
Did you get a call or meet with showrunner Angela Kang?
How did that all go down?
- KATELYN NACON
I first met up with Angela at the very beginning of the season in May.
And so, I was like, Oh, okay.
I knew it was a possibility.
But, I wasnt sure.
You are going to be leaving.
So, I found out a week before 915 started shooting.
And what was your reaction when you found out?I mean, I was upset, for sure.
Especially because it was kind up spur of the moment.
But I pushed through it.
I got to move to California and knew that I had bigger possibilities.
Only big things can come from this amazing show, so I wasnt too worried.
How did it feel playing a zombie?It was weird!
I didnt like it.
Actually, I thought I looked pretty good, with all the makeup on.
You did!I thought I could actually pull it off.
But it was kinda weird.
Even doing the sound effects and everything in ADR that was strange.
Id never done anything like that before.
And then we took that all off and got ready to spend our last moments fighting together.
It was a lot of fun and we got to say our goodbyes and everything.
Honestly, for a last day, I had a great time.
It was a lot of fooling around and joking, like it is every day.
I dont think it really set in until a while afterwards.
It was honestly really cool.
So it was pretty intriguing.
I love Glen and Enids characters together, and their whole dynamic.
That was definitely my favorite part of being on this show.
What do you think happens with Enid moving forward if she survives that attack?
What will you miss most about playing this character and working on this show?The people.
I just loved all the people that I worked with and I learned so much from them and everything.
It was really just working with the cast and the crew.
That was my favorite thing about all this.
And, of course, Enid as well, but I had five years with Enid.
But I will miss the people.
I mean, I didnt think I was going to make it past season 6, or anything.
Its a good way to go.
