“She felt compelled to go out looking for Daryl, which we will learn more about as we get deeper into the story,” Zabel began. “The presumption was made that he was coming back home, and then he never came back home, so we can read into that.”

The showrunner added that, “So now she’s worried about him, and the radio call [in episode five] gave her a little bit of a clue as to how to maybe track him down. There’s also another clue – this moment in the radio call where she talks about something or someone having come back.

“The impression [the audience] and Daryl gets is that something’s a little off for her. That’s going to function into the story for Carol in season two… she has a great dual track that we’re setting her off on and we’ve shot some of that already, and it’s going to be fantastic when it’s all together.”
