Where was Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) in The Walking Dead Season 5, Episode 3, "Four Walls and a Roof"? We saw her at the end of Episode 2, "Strangers," looking like she might be ready to leave the group behind, when Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) came out to talk to her. They saw a dark car with a white cross drive by, then Daryl had them get in the car they had found and chase the car. He knew it was connected to Beth Greene (Emily Kinney). But what happened after that, and where were they for the heavy events of Episode 3?

where they were, not just hear about it, in the Daryl/Carol focused episode that is probably coming in Episode 6. That looks like it might actually be a flashback ep. Episode 4 is a Beth-focused episode at that hospital, and leaked footage from Episode 4 suggests Beth will see an unconscious Carol wheeled into the hospital at the end of the hour. That fits with filming spoilers that showed Carol hit by a car with a cross on it and carted away by cops during her time out and about with Daryl.

At the end of Episode 3, Daryl said to "come on out," but he\'s probably 

talking about Carol. However, he may be talking about the new character we\'re meant to see entering the mix, Noah (Tyler James Williams). He\'s part of the Beth storyline, and he may get away and run into Daryl and Carol. If so, he should know how to get Rick\'s group back to the hospital to try and save both Beth and Carol. We shall see.

 offered a list of people who could be with Daryl, including Carol, Beth, Morgan, the people who took Beth, Aaron from the comic book (Alexandria Safe-Zone recruiter), or someone else completely. 

 asked Greg Nicotero if Daryl brought "evil people" with him, or possibly Morgan. Greg replied, "I have a hard time imagining Daryl bringing anyone back to their group who wasn\'t good. He would never want to do that, he\'d want to protect his people at all costs. It very well could be Morgan but I don\'t think it is." We don\'t think it is either. But maybe Morgan will find his way to the church, following the symbols Gareth and company left. Or maybe he\'ll go to the school. Hopefully he finds Rick\'s group eventually.

Anyway, we\'re thinking — after Beth\'s Episode 4 — Episode 5 is focused on Abraham and the group that goes off in a church bus, but Ep 6 may be Daryl and Carol\'s Not-So-Excellent Adventure, showing what they were up to and what happened to Carol during their Beth search. That ep should lead into more hospital footage in Episode 7 and a big Rick group vs. hospital showdown/rescue missionin Episode 8. Some of that is speculation, so don\'t go betting the farm on it. But do expect to see Carol abducted and eventually end up at the hospital with Beth. Then the group should be heading to the hospital by the midseason finale. Carol/Melissa and Noah/Tyler have been seen filming into the second half of Season 5. Beth/Emily, however, has not.
