The dream team is back – and already in deep trouble. After Survivors Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) finally found an emotional embrace on the October 20 episode of AMCIt is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon spin-off, subtitled Carol’s book For Season 2, fans were treated to some seriously intense #Caryl moments…and a game cleanup for their friends and foes.

And yet we know that Carol and Daryl will survive. Their unlikely but strong friendship, born in the early days of the apocalypse on AMC’s flagship, has already defeated murderous and vicious dictators, much blood and guts have been spilled in their zombie-infested world – and now , a journey across the Atlantic. Carol went looking for her best friend in France, only to find the gruff American southerner slicing and dicing the undead in a Norman abbey. Talk about unexpected.

“It was like one of the days you put on your calendar, like Christmas,” Reedus recalls of filming Carol and Daryl’s big reunion. “We all worked on (that scene) to get to a point where we really thought it was perfect.”

And while seeing the two get back together is certainly very beautiful, chaos still reigns around them as the drama builds towards this week’s action.Well-filled finale. Get an exclusive sneak peek of the episode in the video above.

Carol can’t just grab Daryl and throw him on her pilot buddy Ash’s plane (Manish Dayal) to return home – especially since we saw Ash’s furious reaction on October 27 to the news that Carol had manipulated him by pretending she was looking for his daughter abroad, instead of Daryl. “How would you react? McBride asked coyly, when asked earlier in the season about the altercation, adding, “It surprises her a little bit.”

And then, Ash dropped an even bigger bombshell in their desperate escape from France: his plane will only carry three, and someone has to be left behind. Will it be Laurent, newly escaped (Louis Puech-Scigliuzzi)whom surviving followers of The Nest consider to be a messiah with the ability survive an undead bite? Daryl still wants to bring Laurent to America, but will he be able to accomplish his mission to save the young person he is so attached to given this new twist? It may not be up to him, Reedus teases: “Laurent is a very interesting character because when he believes something in his heart, that’s what he’s going to do.”

The final preview above shows Daryl, Carol, and Ash debating who will occupy the plane’s three seats, and it looks like Daryl – who also reunited with his iconic crossbow in the clip – may be the one left behind.

Season 3 of Daryl Dixon has already been ordered and will be shot and filmed in Spain. AMC’s official logline states that the next round “follows Carol and Daryl as they continue their journey home and the ones they love.” So we have a few theories on how this could end. Until then, Let’s go!
