Daryl and the group went to the hospital to save Beth. Instead of Beth getting shot, Daryl shot Dawn first. Noah and Beth were both able to leave with the group. Now they are all at Alexandria and Daryl has been following Beth around, but hasn’t actually been able to really talk to her. One night, Daryl asks Beth to join him out in a field on the edge of Alexandria where it is just the two of them. Daryl decides to try and tell Beth how he feels, but has trouble because expressing his feelings doesn’t come naturally to him. He gets frustrated with himself, luckily, Beth knows exactly how to handle the situation. Based on the song Say by Raelynn.

Daryl has escaped Terminus with all the others, except there’s one thing still clearly missing, one thing that he needs to find before he can agree to some foolish mission to Washington. Beth needs to get out of Grady Memorial, but she isn’t any dead girl anymore, she isn’t waiting for anyone to come and rescue her. Together they will make a journey home. But where is home?
