We talked to showrunner David Zabel about what her return means.

Carol is of course on the right track.

Shes made it to Maine and will likely soon learn that her pal has been shipped off to Europe.

What happens next…well, youll have to wait until season 2 to find out.

Relocating to Europe became logistically untenable for Melissa, AMC said in an official statement at the time.

I was brought in to talk about doing a show about Daryl Dixon in France.

Thats all I knew, at that point, really.

So I wasnt a part of any conversation before that, Zabel reveals.

And theres always been a desire from everybody for you to be part of it.

It was originally just going to be the scene in episode six.

Setting up a future reveal wasnt the only purpose of the scene though, according to Zabel.

I dont fully understand that shes in some other place.

And then you see her in episode six looking for him.

Just how and when she crosses the pond remains to be seen.

I think a big part of the show is the visual scope.

We continue to build on that in season two.

Season two isnt just about Daryl and Carol finding each other, either.

But what about the villains?

Zabel teases that well definitely see a few more super-soldier zombies next season.
