After spending his Walking Dead spinoff attempting to get home, Daryl Dixon season 1's ending is an ambiguous closing chapter in Daryl's journey.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Daryl Dixon season 1's ending brings the battle against Genet to a halt, and marks the final chapter in Daryl's quest to leave France, but an ambiguous conclusion promises more to come on both fronts.
While there are several factors keeping Daryl Dixon in France, the first and most significant is Laurent. Daryl has previously cared for Judith and RJ, but his role was more like a protector, or a cool, crossbow-wielding uncle. Daryl's relationship with Laurent is far more paternal, with Père Jean and the nuns acting more like teachers and nannies than genuine parents.
The inhabitants of the Nest idolize Laurent, and the Union's leader, Losang, reiterates how special he still believes Laurent to be. Throughout Daryl Dixon, Laurent has shown intelligence, wisdom and empathy beyond his years, even soothing an inconsolable grieving widow in Paris. This ability to connect with people is Laurent's true power in The Walking Dead, positioning him as the future leader of the Union and, if the group can out-muscle Genet, a potential leader of France.
Whether as a prisoner in need of rescue or a lone wolf tracking down Daryl Dixon in Europe, Melissa McBride looks set to play a pivotal role in Daryl Dixon season 2, now officially subtitled "The Book of Carol." Carol's increased presence should also mean future The Walking Dead spinoffs will eventually reveal the identity of the mystery character Carol said "came back" while talking to Daryl on the radio, and also why Carol sounded so suspicious during that conversation.
Quinn's Sacrifice Explained Most of Daryl Dixon's main characters escape the season 1 finale alive, leaving Adam Nagaitis' Quinn as the ending's biggest casualty. Quinn sacrifices himself by running headfirst into a crowd of armed guards, and inevitably reappears later in zombified form, but the motivations behind his sacrifice are considerably more subtle than the death itself.
Why Codron Saves Daryl Getting Laurent to the Nest would not have been possible without the help of Codron, the dogged villain that has followed Daryl around since episode 1 seeking revenge for his fallen brother. Despite getting a perfect opportunity to do exactly that in Daryl Dixon's season 1 finale, Codron betrays Genet, shoots her soldiers, and lets Daryl's group walk away. Codron's reasoning here is deceptively straightforward - he hits a moral hurdle he cannot overcome.
