- I never actually learned to play very well
Transitional episode, lots of new stuff introduced. I give it a pass. But I am getting a little tired of every new group of survivors being Debbie Downers.

Sometimes there's just a story to tell. I watch black and white movies from the forties all the time so I'm used to story and low action. But it's true, that could have been told in half the time and get us back to *** is up with Darryl.
Darryl has Noah and them having Carol is all part of the plan to bust Beth out.

I was thinking the same.... but that would be two badass break outs in a row and I doubt they write it that way. You dont get to do two awesome things in a row on this show without consequences, so im guessing Carol was legitimately taken...and then is rescued "just in time" by the group, thus resolving her desire to bolt.
Why would them rescuing Carol result in her wanting to leave the group?
I think we will have to wait two weeks to find out anyway. Next episode likely will revolve around Abraham and his group.

I didn't see the previews, but that is just what makes sense from the history of how the show operates.

Resolving her desire to run away, not causing it. She was trying to hi tail it when Darryl saw her, they likely would have left if not for the car w/cross driving by
I don't think she was trying to high tail it. When Daryl asked what she was doing she said, "I don't know." I think she was conflicted about staying or going but we haven't yet learned why.
Darryl won't leave Rick. He feels more loyalty to Rick than he does to Carol. Rick has taken the place of Merle in his life, reinforced by Rick saying "you're my brother" to him in last season's final episode. Darryl still has the family sticks together mentality, which is why he is chasing after Beth, she is like a little sister to him; which was also brought up in the episode where they got drunk on the moonshine.

I was just thinking back to that episode where Bob told the Termites that he was bit and they threw up. I thought all living people were already infected. So no matter how you die, you'll reanimate.
There might be some groups that don't know that.
What I thought was weird about that was how long it took Bob to die. In the first season, Andrea's sister got bit an turned in a matter of minutes.
