Last week’s episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol was a high point for the season. Though there was the tragedy of Isabelle’s death, it was nicely counterbalanced by the reunion of Daryl and Carol , plus some great action at both the Nest and later on in a charming French village. Genet was also killed off and too soon, though she at least died in spectacular fashion.

While sweet, Codron’s scene with Laurent also feels rushed, like the show is just looking to tidily wrap up its many residual storylines in the short time left.
This comes from season 2 trying to do too much in a short amount of time. The first season of Daryl Dixon had simpler, more streamlined storytelling, and that fit with it being a short, six-episode season. Season 2, meanwhile, has attempted a bigger story in that same number of episodes, becoming overly complicated as a result.

Ash is understandably angry, furious even, over how Carol manipulated him, using the pain of his own son’s death to encourage him to take on a risky endeavor in the hope of rescuing her daughter. Carol’s told a lot of lies this season, but her lie to Ash was the biggest and most cruel. However, I don’t believe the show is really going to punish her for it.
All that said, Dayal deserves some serious praise for his performance when Ash does learn the truth. McBride does a good job as well, really selling how this lie has been eating away at Carol, but it’s Dayal who steals the scene with his deserved rage.
