Warning! Spoilers for The Walking Dead's fifteenth episode of season six follow!

The penultimate episode of The Walking Dead's sixth season ended with a bang. Literally. Daryl Dixon was shot. The riots are ensuing in the streets.

In any case, the actor burdened with bringing Daryl to life on The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus, has opened up about the shocking moment.

"Well, it's exactly what you see," Reedus tells EW. "I mean, that's Daryl's blood that you see. That's exactly what happens, exactly what you see. So that's the world that we live in. The fight between Daryl and Dwight is very real — that sort of fight on who you are and who you're becoming and what you've given up is very real right now, and I think Daryl's making that as real as possible with him. He's forcing him into that eyeball to eyeball right now."

Whether or not Daryl was killed by the gunshot, we'll have to see, but it's going to be a tough recovery without a doctor in Alexandria.

"What's interesting is Daryl's the first person [Dwight] addresses, and he addresses him in a way that it almost feels like he feels bad for saying the things that he's saying, but he's still doing them," Reedus says of last Sunday's encounter with Dwight. "Daryl's not that type of a guy. Daryl, he's going to say exactly what's on his mind. Those two characters, it's interesting to watch them — to look in the mirror at each other in some weird way."

The final episode of The Walking Dead's sixth season airs Sunday at 9 PM ET on AMC.
