The Purge

comment
The Purge: For unknown reasons, the Civic Republic wipes out the campus colony, with Season 2 expanding on this to reveal that they also destroyed Omaha. It's later explained that the CRM had concluded that Omaha and the colony were an unnecessary drain on resources that would threaten the Republic's continuing existence. They also plan to wipe out Portland as well for the same reasons.

Bittersweet Ending: The series ends on this note. They manage to prevent the CRM from gassing Portland, but Huck is killed in the process. Silas joins the CRM, but only so he can out their plans to the Civic Republic's civilian leadership. Iris and Elton journey to Portland to warn them of the CRM's plans, with their fates uncertain, while Hope, Leo, and Felix set up a new laboratory safe zone so the scientists can continue their research into ending the zombie plague.

Becoming the Mask: Huck is inserted into the campus colony to spy for the CRM, but comes to genuinely care for the people there. In Season 2, this leads to a Heel–Face Turn, as she helps the other protagonists destroy the CRM's attempt to wipe out Portland.

The Stinger
 The Walking Dead: World Beyond / int_48081842
comment
In The Stinger of the Grand Finale, we see a French survivor finding old video transmissions from Dr. Edwin Jenner, the last survivor of the Atlanta CDC facility back in the mothership series' first season finale. Jenner had offhandedly mentioned that he had last been in contact with France's CDC counterparts before he lost radio contact. Jenner also insists that "the day will come when we beat" the walker plague, a Call-Back to his iconic line "the day will come when you won’t be", which served to foreshadow the day Rick would be subjugated by Negan and lose two of his friends in front of him.

Safely Secluded Science Center: The CRM research facility somewhere in New York, where Hope and Iris' father was taken to help in the efforts to find a way to end the Zombie Apocalypse. After all the scientists are liberated from the CRM's control, they relocate to an abandoned mall and set up a new facility to continue their work independently.

Wham Episode
 The Walking Dead: World Beyond / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: World Beyond serves to clarify a lot of things about the wider television universe of the franchise, but they may just pale in comparison to what we learn in The Stinger of the Grand Finale: in France, a variant of the walker virus has sprung up that causes the dead to reanimate in mere moments as more aggressive, faster, and far more dangerous threats than every walker we've seen so far. And there's no telling if or where this variant has spread.

In the series finale, she's sent there herself by Jadis when she's scapegoated for Huck betraying the CRM and helping the scientists escape.

Big Bad: Lieutenant-Colonel Elizabeth Kublek is the primary representative of the CRM seen in the show, acting of the instigator for everything the protagonists have to deal with. Though midway through Season 2, she returns to the Civic Republic's city and leaves the role of main antagonist to fall to Jadis, who is sent in to secure the research facility, and thus comes into conflict with the heroes when they infiltrate it. And at the end of the season, she usurps Kublek by scapegoating and arresting her.

comment
Continuity Nod: Eugene said in Season 5 of the main series that his plan was to join with scientists in Washington, D.C. to engineer a counter-virus that could wipe out walkers in the world and cure the virus in the survivors. While it turned out to be a massive lie, Season 2 reveals that Eugene's math was pretty close to what's actually happening: it's revealed that the CRM's scientists are legitimately researching fungi to develop a weaponized strain that can destroy walkers by rapidly increasing the rate of decomposition. The third episode of the season also introduces Dr. Ellis as a professor at a CRM school — Eugene claimed to be a good friend and colleague of him. In Season 2, episode 3, an ad for country legend Half-Moon is seen — the true identity of Beta from the mothership series. In The Stinger of the Grand Finale, we see a French survivor finding old video transmissions from Dr. Edwin Jenner, the last survivor of the Atlanta CDC facility back in the mothership series' first season finale. Jenner had offhandedly mentioned that he had last been in contact with France's CDC counterparts before he lost radio contact. Jenner also insists that "the day will come when we beat" the walker plague, a Call-Back to his iconic line "the day will come when you won’t be", which served to foreshadow the day Rick would be subjugated by Negan and lose two of his friends in front of him.

The Alliance: The Alliance of the Three, the three in question being the Civic Republic, Omaha (and its colony at the university) and Portland. Season 2 reveals that the Civic Republic Military, however, has been systematically wiping out its fellow colonies due to deeming them a strain on their resources and wanting to solidify their power superseding that of the Civic Republic itself.

Lighter and Softer: While still a zombie apocalypse drama, it’s considerably lighter in tone than the mothership series or the first spin-off series, partially due to focusing on a younger cast and partially due to establishing more law and order in its setting courtesy of the CRM.
