Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol Episode 2.
Last year’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was one of the best spin-offs of the original The Walking Dead series, where we got to follow one of our walker-killing favorites, Daryl (Norman Reedus), as he took his talents to France. An ocean away from his friends, Daryl took up with a religious group called the Union of Hope, where he befriended a boy named Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), who was treated like the Messiah, fought against the evil Marion Genet (Anne Charrier), and fell in love with a nun named Isabelle (Clémence Poésy).
Those scenarios created a fun enough series, but something is missing with Daryl if he’s not with Carol (Melissa McBride). The Book of Carol promises to correct that. The first episode sees Carol searching for her best friend, only to discover that he has been taken away to France. With hundreds of miles of water between them, everything feels hopeless, but then Carol meets a man named Ash (Manish Dayal). Ash is a good man who has never gotten over his son’s death, but what he does have is an airplane. Using his emotions against him, Carol manipulates Ash into flying her to France. As the premiere episode comes to an end, the plane is in the air and Carol is on her way. Will Carol safely make it to France in the latest episode, “Moulin Rouge”?
Carol and Ash Start an Unnecessary Side Quest in ‘Daryl Dixon’ Season 2 Episode 2
Carol and Ash are forced to leave for their trip early after a walker outbreak at Ash’s home. They arrive as they had planned in the beautiful hills of Greenland to refuel, but their plane is a smoking mess and needs repairs. In the distance, Carol sees a few walkers covered in moss and decides to take them out. That’s easy enough until the ones hidden in the grass crawl out and attack her. Ash begins to help, only for the attack to be put down by a gunshot. Carol and Ash are saved by two women, Eun and Hanna, which is good news for Ash, but a reason to be on guard for Carol. The women haven’t seen other people in years, they confess, as they take Carol and Ash to their small home next to a lake.
Eun goes to help Ash with the plane’s busted fuel line, while Carol stays with Hanna at the house. The women were climate researchers who were only supposed to be in Greenland for a few months but got stuck there when the world went to Hell. Hanna doesn’t see this as a bad thing per se, because now the world can heal itself from what humanity did to it. Alone, walking back to the plane, Ash tells Eun why they’re headed to France. Eun learns about Ash’s son, which gets him a kind hug, but then Eun asks if he wants more kids.
At the house, Carol and Hanna share a drink, and the researcher shows off her crossbow. What begins innocently enough turns very dangerous when Hanna points the crossbow at Carol’s chest. A nervous Hanna admits that she is supposed to kill Carol, but she doesn’t want to. So what’s Eun doing?
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol is available to watch every Sunday on AMC and AMC+.
“Moulin Rouge” doesn’t bring Daryl and Carol back together just yet, but the path back is filled with tension.
- The relationship between Carol and Ash continues to be compelling.
- Daryl’s storyline is becoming more complicated and filled with suspense.
- The Greenland subplot is too quick and unnecessary.
- Carol is getting closer to Daryl way too easily.

Conclusion:
The latest episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol is an interesting one, as Carol starts her journey to France, but with an unnecessary detour to Greenland. The tension between Carol and Hanna is palpable, and the crossbow threat raises the stakes. However, the show’s reliance on convenient coincidences and manipulations by Carol starts to feel like a pattern. Will the show find a way to bring Daryl and Carol back together in a meaningful way?
