The latest episode ofThe Walking DeadspinoffDaryl Dixonsaw the return of a familiar face.
Only we didn’t actually get to see her face.

So what shouldTWDfans take from this vocal cameo from the fan favorite?
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We have this scene where Daryl is talking to Carol on the radio.
Carol breaks up on the radio, but Daryl hears that someone “came back.”

How important is that missing nugget of information?
It’s also not what the audience expects or anticipates, if they’re anticipating something.
So it will ultimately prove to be surprising.

But that’s all based on the idea that we’re going to play out that story.
If you are playing out that story, does that mean there will be more Carol on the horizon?
What can you say about that injection and what it does to the undead?
Well, it’s been something we’ve been hinting at all along.
So that’s really what that’s about, and it plays out fully in the finale.
What else can you say about next week’s season finale?
I’m so proud of the season finale.
The season finale has it all.
And it ends with a couple of moments that are pretty jaw-dropping.
