<P> The episode "Cherokee Rose" marks Glenn and Maggie's first sexual encounter . Critics commended the development of the relationship between Maggie and Glenn . Andrew Conrad of The Baltimore Sun stated that the storyline epitomized a "steamy romance," while The Wall Street Journal's Aaron Rutkoff called it "the funniest moment of the series ." Goldman opined that their sexual encounter felt genuine; "He's a nice guy, she seems like a cool gal, and it felt genuine when she noted she felt plenty lonely too and ready for some companionship ." Nick Venable of Cinema Blend felt that the interactions between Maggie and Glenn were the highlight of the episode . "I'm glad the writers are introducing this comic book plot point, as this show seriously needs a couple without closets full of skeletons . When Glenn accidentally grabs a box of condoms for Maggie to see, I chuckled heartily . The ensuing conversation also made me smile, which makes me wonder why humor is paid the least amount of attention on the show ." Jackson was surprised with the scene, and called it "unexpected ." </P> <P> In the comic book and television mediums, Glenn is murdered by Negan, who uses his infamous barbwire bat "Lucille" to repeatedly bash his head in to a pulp as his wife and friends watch horrified, and helplessly after being captured by the Saviors . There is a difference in how his death occurs: In the comic books, after being forced to their knees, Glenn was revealed to be the victim chosen outright to die . However, Abraham Ford received this fate on TV in the episode "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be ." Glenn was still killed off in the same episode, with his demise being a result of Daryl Dixon disobeying Negan's rules . The deaths led to significant debate regarding the direction of the show . Some viewers and critics saw the deaths as too violent, with a number of them stating that the show had gone too far or that they would stop watching it; others felt that Glenn's death was needed because it reflects the comic book version and that both deaths show how brutal Negan can be . </P>
