Love Daryl to! As for it being Carl, that would be a great plot twist! I wouldn't blame him for doing what he thought was right, and it could have worked if the virus was confined to those two. I could see Carol taking the blame in an attempt to save Rick from confronting his own son or fighting with Tyrese.
At the end of the last episode, you see a preview of Rick totally out of it. I thought because of Hershel he was passed out drunk or something. But maybe also because of Carl and what he did to Carol, maybe even thinking for some reason Carol is dead because of him.
Yep, to me, Rick is the heart of the show....it began with him, and in a way, it’s always been about him. He isn’t perfect, but he’s been through a lot, and he’s done his best to keep everyone safe.
Is the preview the one where Carl is yelling “wake up?” I wonder if it’s because he’s in such awful shape after that beating he took. I hated seeing the governor get the best of him that way.
