1. Daryl's In The Dark
As great as it was that Rick told the truth about why Carol had not returned with him to the prison, it's less great that he stopped at Maggie and Hershel. Of everybody at the prison (except perhaps for Mika and creepy Lizzie), Daryl deserved to know what had happened with Carol. To Rick's credit, he clearly did intend to explain the situation as soon as Daryl returned from the run, but he didn't exactly put up a fight when Carl gave him an out. Of course, considering that Daryl had thrown a string of squirrels and tried to stab him last time Rick told him he'd abandoned someone his lieutenant cared about, so it's understandable that Rick might want to stall on the reveal. Season 4 Daryl may be miles away from Season 1 Daryl, but as we clearly saw last week with his attack on Bob the man still has a temper. And a crossbow. Do I think that Daryl is going to attack Rick over Carol? No. But Rick might think so. Plot justification aside, Rick's reticence to tell Daryl about Carol's guilt and subsequent absence is fairly obviously a ploy to carry the tension over to a future episode. As the next seems to be focusing on the randomly reappearing Governor, however, maybe we'll find out in episode 7 that Rick passed Daryl a note off-screen to tell him about Carol, resulting in the crossbow-toting one refusing to eat at Rick's lunch table until the Governor shows up and they talk about his snazzy new eyepatch. Okay, probably not. But if that happens, I totally called it. Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the comments!
