The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Recap: Raison D’Être


This episode’s surprising developments feels reminiscent of the early seasons of The Walking Dead when the series wasn’t afraid to shock.

With the battle over so quickly and Genet already in control of the Nest, the episode slows down to deal with the next steps; after all, Daryl and Carol deserve some time to breathe and catch up during their search for a once-again missing Laurent. Unlike the Greenland sperm harvesters a couple episodes back, these strangers feel relatively trustworthy; it’s nice that, for once, we can rest assured they won’t try to kill, eat, or otherwise harm our traveling heroes, though, of course, we can’t completely trust them. Daryl and Carol manage to easily hide during the first visit from the Guerriers, but they’re less lucky the next day — thanks to Theo, who ratted them out to Madame Genet’s men in an effort to “pick the winning side.” (His family used to sell carrots to the Nazis, then to the Americans after they won World War II.)
