Thanks to a series of flashbacks, we saw where Beta was originally holed up after the zombie apocalypse.
We saw Beta meet Alpha.
We saw how and why they became codependent.

We saw where Beta got his t-shirt and his zombie mask.
The one thing we didnotsee, however, was Betas face.
Read on for more intel!

Theres still a lot of secrets behind who Beta was that well investigate more and more.
But you know, I like to dangle a carrot.
Why is this where Alpha finds Beta?
And he sort of saw it as a place of solace.
And, of course Im going to ask you about that person.
We see that Alpha killed that walker.
We see the face and the t-shirt.
Now, Betas wearing this persons face and t-shirt so clearly this is someone of importance.
From an actors perspective, I was like, Why doesnt this guy take off his mask?
That was really important to me.
And Alpha sort of instills in him this Look the world is burning, the world is dying.
Is Beta the kind of guy that needs someone to follow?
You have a leader and you have a follower.
A very strange, carnal, primal, not sexual but intimate relationship between the two.
So its a really codependent relationship.
I dont think that hes just needy of a strong leader.
I think they found a big balance with each other.
And that dynamic is sort of challenged a little bit somewhat here with the Gamma situation.
What does Beta make of when Alpha bestows a name on this other Whisperer?
Why does she still have a name and we all call her that?
So, its his job to kind of protect her from herself.
And so, at the end of this episode, where is he with her?
Because you just mentioned a bunch of the things that are clearly concerning him.
And then, he sees that weird creepy wooden shrine that shes set up to Lydia.
But then we see them do the mantra at the end.
And then I told Angela that and she was like, Oh my God, were using it!
I was like, Great!
And I think the way that they use it is perfect too.
So what do you prefer, the ski mask or the zombie mask?The zombie mask.
The zombie mask every day.
You must get hot in that thing, man.Oh my God.
I landed in the hospital once this year from heat exhaustion.
Im in a leather trench coat and two layers under that in Georgia in the summer.
Its no joke, man.
Alpha sees Betas face in the episode when she takes his mask off, but we do not.
Angela tells me we will see Betas face at some point.
What are we going to see when we do?
Whats under the mask?A bleary resemblance to Whoopi Goldberg.
[Laughs] No, I cant tell you too much about that.
There is nobody else.
He creates such a stress free, safe, wonderful creative meritocracy there.
Any idea is welcome.
I absolutely adore working with him.
