![]() She gives Rick credit for getting the group this far, as Daryl jokes about his new-found take on leadership, before turning down her offer to get romantic and “fool around.”ĭespite his rejection, their bond is again brought into focus after Carol goes missing and is presumed dead after an attack that takes the lives of Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and T-Dogg (Irone Singleton). The months on the road that follow seem to sweeten their rapport, and the night after they take the prison courtyard, Carol dutifully brings Daryl food as he stands watch. Though Rick’s leadership comes into question, they both stay in the group after this revelation, despite Carol’s wish to be led by a “man of honor,” which Daryl assures her they have. After rendezvousing with the others, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) reveals a truth he’d kept secret: Everyone is infected, and everyone turns when they die. Daryl, hearing Carol’s screams, goes back to save her but not without a “I ain’t got all day” remark, providing an early glimpse into their rapport.

As Carol runs toward her crying amidst the massacre started by Shane (Joe Bernthal), it’s Daryl who holds her back. Over time, their stories continued to intertwine well beyond that of two people who share a desire to survive this new world, and over time Carol and Daryl, (or Caryl, if you prefer), have evolved into a kind of platonic power couple ideally suited for the zombie apocalypse. When they first appeared, Daryl was a wiry, high-strung survivalist tweaker covered in squirrel pelts, and Carol was little more than a marginal character defined almost solely by her abusive husband who relegated her to gossip-free laundry duty.
