The most chaotic thing about this episode wasnt the fact that Alpha and Negan bumped uglies...but the fact that they LEFT THEIR SOCKS ON!! #TheWalkingDead @JDMorgan WHYYY pic.twitter.com/hamhl4tNsU

Alpha & Negan didnt take off their socks & shoes!#nalpha #twd #WalkingDead pic.twitter.com/SZI2nsIQuo

HuffPost previously spoke to the episodes director Michael Satrazemis about the shocking moment, and we recently hopped on the phone with him again, when he finally explained Negan and Alphas disturbing footwear in the disturbing scene.

Their socks are on because you wouldnt take them off. Who cares? I thought it was fantastic. We made that decision on the day, in the moment, Satrazemis said.

He added: That last frame, which is what I designed the whole scene around, was trying to get one moment to show that last shot, seeing the two piles of clothes and two people completely naked, except for a mask, was a fantastic image.

Interestingly enough, it was recently revealed that a sex scene that was cut from The Walking Dead wouldve apparently had Eugene (Josh McDermitt) in socks, too.

We talked about [the socks], for sure, said the director.

As for the fan reaction calling to bleach away the image from their eyes, Satrazemis said: I didnt think the fans reaction was going to be as extreme as it is. But Im kind of proud. That means we did it right. And if you cant take it, close your eyes.

We second that. Close your eyes and please save the bleach for the socks. Theyre going to need it.
