AMC Network aired the penultimate episode of *Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol* on October 27, and it has already left fans buzzing. Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl, boldly claimed that “Season 2 is the best one-hour Walking Dead anything ever.” Episode 205, titled “Vouloir, C’est Pouvoir,” indeed captures the essence of the classic The Walking Dead while delivering new layers to beloved characters.

This episode’s storyline revisits iconic Walking Dead moments, from Daryl and Carol’s side-by-side battle against walkers to tense rescues. As Daryl and Carol fight off walkers surrounding Ash’s car, viewers are reminded of Rick’s struggle in the Atlanta tank in season 1. Daryl’s use of the super serum to infect walkers evokes a similar scene with Aaron in season 5.

Throughout the episode, Daryl’s concern for Laurent is palpable. Alongside Carol, he continues searching for the boy, and their conversation deepens their bond, reminding fans of the loyalty between these two characters. The tension mounts as Daryl takes on Losang, who he suspects of causing Isabelle’s death. This showdown in the catacombs culminates in a brutal victory for Daryl.

The episode also features standout scenes from Fallou and Codron. Fallou’s powerful speech, where he counters Losang’s demands for proof of God’s presence, provides a moving moment that resonates with the Montmartre community. Codron, now a reluctant ally, shares a heartfelt conversation with Laurent about forgiveness, offering the former villain a redemptive arc.

As the episode concludes, Laurent’s reunion with Daryl brings bittersweet news: Isabelle’s passing. Daryl invites Laurent to the US, a decision the young boy struggles with but ultimately accepts.

The stage is set for a thrilling finale on November 3 with Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol season 2, episode 6, “Au Revoir Les Enfants,” which translates to “Goodbye, children.” This highly anticipated episode is expected to wrap up storylines and set the foundation for season 3, which will move to a new location in Spain.
