The cause of Daryl’s group’s hallucinations is not obvious, but it is likely related to a combination of bat guano, mold, and the humid air of a damp, corpse-filled hole in the ground. It’s a perfect storm of bad news; As the air quality deteriorates and the effects of exposure to guano and its pathogens begin to take hold, the group comes across a horde of moldy, glowing walkers that they are forced to fight. Adding adrenaline and violence to lingering survivor’s guilt and a head full of what is essentially acid, you get a bad mix (and a chance for the show’s special effects teams). showing up with awesome distorted zombie faces).

The hallucinations hit everyone differently. Codron is engaged in combat with his deceased brother Michel, until Daryl shows up and sends the zombie for Codron, leading the former One-Eyed Power warrior to attack him in retaliation. Carol is lost, literally, by the hallucinated ghost of Sophia. Sophia leads Carol into a disused service tunnel, and after the two kiss and Carol is able to say goodbye (somehow), Sophia leaves her mother to continue without her in a performance and a very touching scene from the underrated Melissa McBride.

As for Daryl, his hallucinations do not excite him against his comrades in arms, nor do they allow him to make peace with Merle or resolve other issues with him. The Walking Dead. Instead, Daryl finds himself beaten over the head and betrayed by his tour guides at the Scottish Chunnel because there are only two gas masks in good condition and they have friends waiting on the other next to the water. He is about to lose consciousness when his hallucination, Isabelle (Clémence Poésy), appears above him. She tells Daryl that his work isn’t done and he won’t do it. die in a field in France like his grandfather (who also shows up to watch over his delusional grandson). Isabelle gives Daryl the strength to get up, hits the two Scots with a shovel and kills them.

Carol and Daryl, reunited, take breaths of fresh air with their gas masks. Their trip to England may have been canceled due to some bad travel, but the two seem fearless. In classic guru/shaman/hippie fashion, they both got something they needed emotionally through the hallucinations and learned something about themselves. Most importantly, Daryl and Carol are still side by side, with a renewed desire to return home.

How will Daryl and Carol get to Spain in season 3?

How this tortuous journey takes them from France to Spain – the announced setting of season 3– remains to be seen. But what if I had to guess? Daryl will have to prepare for another transatlantic boat trip.

Once upon a time, Christopher Columbus and his band of sailors, thanks to the ocean current and the prevailing winds, headed from the sunny shores of Spain to the West Indies. I guess even walkers are no match for the power of the Gulf Stream. With Daryl’s haircut, Carol’s knife skills, and (maybe) Codron’s one-eyed eye, they would make a very good pirate crew for a wayward Spanish galleon.
