Carol and Daryl Become Closer with Each Other at Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 14

They maybe won but the war is not over. In the aftermath of the assault on Negan's facility, Daryl wonders how his bike found its way into the hands of the Saviors and what needs to be done. More things are going to happen and to deal off by Ricks team.

We're back to Alexandria after last week's bottle episode starring Maggie and Carol, but it looks like the focus continues to be on Carol in Episode 14. It was great seeing a more vulnerable side to Carol in The Walking Dead Season 6: Episode 13, but what was particularly interesting is that while we thought she was faking the fear, she really is as broken inside as she seemed. She's developed leaps and bounds since Season 1, but ever since the safe-zoners reclaimed Alexandria she's been living close to a normal life again, until the war on Negan. This shift back to the old ways has been a scary culture shock for her, and she finds herself at a crossroads as to who she is. Carol's not the only one though, as Daryl confides in her in the new sneak peek for "Twice As Far".

What does that soldier figurine mean to Daryl? Is it symbolic of childhood innocence, when boys and girls play with toy soldiers and everything is just a game? It's certainly been put in there to reflect on his character in some way, and allude to the warrior that he's become. Daryl is also finally reunited with his beloved bike, which he lost back in "Always Accountable", when Dwight stole it from him after Daryl saved him and his wife. While the betrayal was fairly inconsequential at the time, it now becomes clear to Daryl that Dwight was a member of the Saviors and that he wasn't in the facility, and if Dwight and his wife got out, who else did?

It's almost as if Daryl is aware that they're fighting a losing battle against the Saviors, and every kill counts. Furthermore, while Carol seemed to be striking up romance elsewhere a couple of episodes ago, perhaps more interesting to us is the close friendship that she's inevitably going to strike up with Morgan, having now understood that all life is sacred and that taking it makes you a monster. But with the sickeningly grim finale for The Walking Dead Season 6 fast approaching, Rick may need the killer in Carol more than ever.
