Some thoughts/speculation before 10x04
So it seems like they're going to be splitting their time in between Alexandria and Hilltop this week, with Daryl/Carol/Lydia being the foucs of the majority of the ASZ storyline. We've already seen how concerned Daryl is about Carol in the opening minutes; trying his hardest and being so damn sweet my heart hurts already thinking about it.😍😍😭
But we might also get overprotective daddy Daryl when Negan tries to stay buddy buddy with Lydia. No one would question why Daryl instantly hates Negan being around people he cares about. I doubt any have forgotten what happened to Glenn and Abe and what they did to Daryl while he was kept in that cell. Daryl got into a physical fight with Rick over it...but I digress.
Anyway, Daryl confronts Negan then follows Lydia after she leaves (there's a clip showing as much in the season 10 trailer). What I'm really interested in though is if this is when we are going to start getting some bits of Negan teasing Daryl about Carol.
Carol's finally out and about since they got back and Negan is observant to a fault; he wouldn't miss noticing Caryl interacting, Daryl's obvious worrying about her, or the chance to poke and tease Daryl about it. He just can't help himself.
However it plays out I'm already excited. Bring on the Caryl/Lydia interaction. Bring on jackass Negan doing his best to tease Daryl about Carol. It's bound to happen...I mean, they all stayed in ASZ this episode instead of joining the trip to Hilltop.
