Warning: This article contains spoilers about Sunday’s episodeThe Walking Deadtitled “Diverged.”
But the duo was soon separated.
But that’s not how the episode was originally supposed to go.

“I’ll just give you a fun behind the scenes fact,” says Kang.
“We actually had a very different structure to this episode.
The mirroring effect took flight once the episode was completely re-edited.

“So that even on their own, their own little things, they’re just connected psychologically.
That’s how it came about.
Here’s what else Kang had to say about the latest installment ofThe Walking Dead.
We thought we’d do these very simple stories.
What’s with Carol’s attack on the drywall then?
We talked a while back about, where’s Carol at?
And helping to complete that mission to check that that that problem is taken care of for her people.
But it’s taken a real emotional toll.
And how people actually do that sometimes, they’ll punch a hole in the wall.
Or wouldn’t it be interesting to see somebody just tear a room apart?
It’s just like the rat is a symbol of the worry she has about Alexandria falling apart.
Then she goes about fixing it all because I think that that’s very much her.
What do you make of that?
Is she broken or is this somewhat out of her system in terms of the larger issue?
What’s it like when you guys do decide to have some fun in an episode like that?
And Melissa is so funny.
And that she can recognize that Jerry’s funny sometimes.
So then, where are Daryl and Carol after the events of this episode?
So is this a truce?
Is that where they’re at now even though the words “I’m sorry” weren’t said?
Yeah, I’d say that that’s kind of accurate.
But we purposely tried to show that they’re still friendly with each other.
I hope you’re ready for the Carol and Dog shippers you’re going to get now.
They’re going to be called Cog, Angela.
The Dog and Carol are actually pretty great.
We loved making Dog a character in this episode too.
He’s got a very particular thing going on.
It was fun to see those two.
