He carried her back to the others, overjoyed that his best friend was still alive. Then - voila! - in the sixth episode of the season, Daryl found Carol's badly wounded body in a cell. At the same time, The Walking Dead writers were wondering whether or not to keep Carol on the show (she died in the comics during the prison arc). Daryl even went so far as to put a rose on it.

Presumed dead (and thought to probably now be a walker), Carol was even given a makeshift grave. Daryl to the Rescue (Season 3, Episode 6 - "Hounded) In Season 3, while Rick was losing his mind over losing Lori, Daryl was sent spiraling after Carol went missing inside the prison. While standing guard in the watchtower at night, Carol teasingly flirted with Daryl, asking "Want to screw around?" We'll never really know how serious she was with the request, but we do know for sure that it made Daryl uncomfortable. A Little Harmless Flirting (Season 3, Episode 1 - "Seed") As Season 3 began, Rick and his crew took over a prison. Bonding over their respective losses, Carol and Daryl would begin their unlikely friendship. After discovering a cabin Sofia had stayed in, Daryl returned to Carol with a rose, telling her to tale of the Cherokee Rose, which is said to bloom as a symbol of hope from the tears of the Cherokee mothers who lost their children to disease. The Search for Sofia (Season 2, Episode 4 - "Cherokee Rose") After searching for, and then losing, his brother Merle in Atlanta (he'd turn up alive in Season 3), Daryl was the only one to head out looking for Carol's lost daughter, Sofia.
