Daryl Dixon Season 2 Episode 2 Recap and Spoilers

Now that Carol is traveling to France with her new friend Ash, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon strongly promises a reunion between Daryl and Carol in the near future. However, not every promise is fulfilled for other characters. Laurent increasingly doubts his role as the next potential leader of the Union of Hope. As he prays for adjustment to life in the nest, he realizes that the strangers there claim to love him, but he is aware that they do not love him — They love the idea that the strange circumstances of his birth bring with them a fate that will make the world right. Although he wants to be an ordinary child, he also hopes to be the person the Union of Hope needs him to be He wants to be.

Daryl returns with the rescued prisoners, including Fallou and a traumatized Emile. Laurent proudly gives Daryl a homemade dog figurine. It’s a touching tribute to Seven, the recently deceased dog who played Daryl’s loyal companion. Losang catches Laurent in the middle of prayer and questions the boy’s bond with Daryl. Losang is adamant that Daryl will come around, but that could be because of his public image. Inwardly, Losang would have preferred Daryl to leave so he wouldn’t distract Laurent with knife-throwing lessons. A secret ceremony is planned to prove that Laurent is the Messiah they were promised, and Jacinta is eager to push it forward so she can convince any doubters. The cryptic description of the ceremony and Isabelle’s ignorance of the plan are alarming warning signs.

Sylvie tries to get Emile to talk about what happened when he was the prisoner of the power of the living, but he refuses to talk. At least Daryl, Isabelle and Laurent have a lot of fun playing baseball, which Isabelle endearingly mistakes for cricket. When Laurent rushes to a Socrates lesson, Isabelle reminds Daryl that Laurent needs balance between body and mind. Socrates may be boring, but it may be just as important as tracking or killing in the new world. Daryl admits that Laurent questions Losang’s religious teachings, Isabelle even more so. He wants Isabelle and Laurent to return to America with him.

Although Laurent was the leader of the Union of Hope all his life, perhaps it was just an idea that gave them the strength to live. The next morning, Isabelle learns that Genet’s people took Laurent out of his room at night. As the rescue team gathers, Emile strongly advises Fallou to stay in the nest. Losang is also against Isabelle leaving. But both Fallou and Isabelle are unshakable in their decision. An ocean away, Carol and Ash make a pit stop in Greenland to fix a fuel leak. With Ash on repair duty, Carol gets into trouble with buried walkers, even though she looks great with the crossbow.

The travelers are rescued by two strange environmentalists named Eun and Hanna, who call the hikers “Tupilag,” after an Inuit myth about a vengeful carnivorous animal. They bring Carol and Ash to their animal shelter, making them their first visitors in years. Eun and Hanna were originally stationed in Greenland to track melting glaciers for their doctoral dissertation, but as is the case with all backstories The walking dead Universe, the world ended. Hanna has an optimistic view of the apocalypse and believes that walkers serve as Mother Nature’s revenge for humanity’s crimes against the environment.

Hanna’s philosophy may be similar to that of The walking deadis Alpha, which may be why Carol immediately becomes suspicious. Her speculations come true when Hanna slowly points the crossbow at Carol, intending to kill her. Carol is a person who is always on high alert and two steps ahead of everyone. She is incredibly frustrating in this scene. Carol has enough time left and lets Hanna put her in a vulnerable position. Without hesitation, the question arises as to where the Carol who blew up Terminus is.

It soon turns out that Hanna lost the coin toss to kill or spare Carol. Eun wants Carol to have Ash and Hanna all to herself. Her worldview is much more optimistic than Hanna’s, but her implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Eun wants to repopulate the world with Ash and Hanna to help humanity thrive again. To her, Ash is nothing more than a sperm donor. This furthers the narrative that Ash was manipulated and lied to and is now being dealt out in Episode 2. Hanna doesn’t want to kill Carol, so she impulsively kills Eun in a confrontation.

Since Eun is dead, Hanna accompanies Carol on her trip to France, no matter how unstable she seems. Before she can even reach the plane, Ash kills Hanna with a flare gun, marking his first time killing a human. First there were two, then there were four and now there are two again. Sylvie suspects that Laurent is still in the nest when one of the cooks takes his usual meal to a hidden location. After following the chef, Sylvie finds Laurent being held in a room by Losang and his people. Meanwhile, Daryl, Fallou and Isabelle are ambushed by the people of the Nest, who sabotaged Daryl’s weapon.

Emile reveals himself to be part of the ambush designed to prevent Laurent from traveling to America with Daryl. He is so traumatized from watching Genet’s experiments that killed his friends that he feels compelled to keep the Union of Hope’s cause alive. The final step is to test Laurent’s immunity by having a walker bite him in a ceremony. Isabelle kills Emile in a scuffle, even though she originally wanted to help him. After a confrontation with the environmentalists, Carol and Ash end up in France.

Ash is desperate to help Carol find her daughter, but Carol is unwilling to reveal the truth. She orders him to stay on the plane while she searches the country. The two go back and forth for a while; Ash is definitely right that the buddy system keeps her safe. But Carol is also right that she is capable of finding “Sophia” on her own since she is more experienced in this world than Ash. Carol’s deadline to return is two weeks, but Ash insists he won’t leave without her.

Carol makes her way through Paris, where she sees signs and soldiers connected to the power of the living. While one of the soldiers harasses a straggler living on the road, she leaves a trail of grain from the truck. The trail leads them to an outpost of the Power of the Living, where civilians fight over the food the group provides. There is no order or system – just pure chaos allowed by the soldiers.

At Maison Mère, a high-ranking soldier, Sabine, offers life’s simple pleasures – a warm bed, food, wine, etc. – to those who serve Genet well. Many people volunteer and only 20 are chosen, including Carol. Apparently her attempt to hide in a van and stop a soldier was enough to prove her worth. Carol has no idea where she is going or why she was chosen. Your school lessons are not enough to understand French fluently. Fallou, Isabelle and Daryl wait for the flood before confronting Losang in the nest. Isabelle expresses her disappointment that she did not protect Laurent as she promised her sister.

If she gets Laurent back, she agrees to go to America with Daryl. She specifically uses the word “dépaysant” to describe her need for a new change of scenery. Isabelle and Daryl kiss in a much-needed happy moment for both of them. It may not be the Daryl Dixon romance fans want, but it feels natural. At the Nest, Jacinta reveals to Losang that she ordered the rescue team to kill Daryl, which he disapproves of. The murder attempt not only violates his morals, but also has a negative impact on Isabelle and Fallou.

Carol talks to another passenger in the truck named Rémy, a former English teacher. He tells her about Genet’s policy of building a new France and his ambition to help his ailing husband. When they arrive at Maison Mère, they are separated from his husband. Inside, Genet torments Codron to find out the location of Daryl, Laurent and Isabelle. She equates Codron’s resistance to a stuck wine cork: Don’t pull too hard and don’t pull too gently. It has to be teased out. Her fingers are amputated while a pocket watch engraved with “Nest” lies in plain sight.
