On Sunday night (March 2), you may have been curled up on your couch last night watching Hollywood's biggest stars strut their stuff down the red carpet at the 86th Annual Academy Awards, but in the world of "The Walking Dead" it was business as usual, with our anti-heroes trying to avoid certain death at the jaws of the "walkers."

Last night's episode, titled "Still," focused solely on Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Beth (Emily Kinney), who like the rest of the cast, are on their own with no idea if the rest of their friends (and in Beth's case, her sister) are alive or dead.

Daryl and Beth make a rather odd pair. She was brought up in a nice home, daughter to a veterinarian (the much beloved Hershel Greene, RIP), while Daryl spent most of his time following his brother Merle around: "Some redneck a*****e with an even bigger a*****e for a brother," as he described in last night's episode. This differences factored heavily into last night's story.

Daryl seems to accept their reality. Everyone they've known and loved are probably dead, and even if they're not, odds are stacked against any kind of reunion. Beth doesn't accept this, doesn't want to give up hope, and most of all, doesn't want to give up living. She announces that she wants to have "a damn drink," since she'd never tried alcohol (her dad was an alcoholic).

So they begin a quest for booze, leading to a bar at a golf resort. Beth didn't need Daryl to rescue her from a walker - she's turned out to be pretty tough - but he did save her from having peppermint Schnapps as her first taste of liquor. With just moments before her first taste, Daryl smashed the bottle, determined to find her a better alternative. That led to a backwoods distillery where they tried the local moonshine, leading to an ill-advised game of "Never Have I Ever" where each made guesses at the others past. After they come to terms with each other, and realize how each needs to change to survive in the post-prison world, they decide to burn down the distillery as a f- you to their pasts, sealing the deal by giving the finger to the building as it burned.
