"Le Paradis Pour Toi"[]
At night, Daryl and Carol walk down a road that is lined with walkers that are caught in various traps. The two enter a large plantation house and follow the sound the song "Le Paradis Pour Toi" to a dining room where an elderly couple is sitting down for dinner. Theo addresses Daryl by name, mistaking Carol for Isabelle. Didi introduces herself and her husband and Theo explains that Laurent had told them that Daryl would be coming.
Sitting down to dinner together, Theo explains that he was out foraging for white mushrooms when he saw Laurent and Fallou. The two were hungry and tired, Fallou was very nice to them and Laurent helped Didi with the dishes. Theo had helped the two to find a working car to drive to Paris, and he offers to let Daryl look through his collection of cars for one that Daryl can make work to drive himself and Carol to Paris. Carol agrees to wait until the morning, pointing out to Daryl that it's pitch black outside currently.
In the morning, Daryl looks through the cars as Theo explains that he grew up on the plantation as a fourth generation member of his family. Theo's family sold carrots to the Germans during World War I, Nazis in World War II, and American soldiers after that. "Armies come and go. We're still here." Daryl finally finds a car that's in good shape and just needs a battery that holds a charge as well as a few hoses. Theo knows a place to find those things, and he offers to take Daryl once he gets his walking shoes.
In the kitchen, Carol helps Didi to chop up vegetables and the old woman tells Carol that she misses young people, all of the children having grown up and left a long time ago. As a result, it was nice having Laurent around, even if only for a day. Laurent is very fond of Isabelle and Daryl, having gone on and on about them. Carol acknowledges that Daryl's a really good influence and Didi, still unaware that Carol isn't Isabelle, reveals that Laurent thinks that Daryl loves Isabelle but won't say it because if he says it, then Daryl won't be able to leave. While Carol deflects it as being a little more complicated than that, Didi tells her that it isn't to a child or to the old woman who knows how rare love is.
Carol asks about Didi and Theo, but Didi reveals that Theo actually isn't her husband. Sadly, Didi tells Carol that her husband, children, and grandchildren are all dead. Carol is surprised as the old woman seems to be so happy and Didi admits that she wasn't for a long time and that like Daryl, she was torn between the world that she lost and the world that she found. However, one must look for a way to keep living and while it's not so easy sometimes, reasons are everywhere. Daryl and Theo enter and the elderly couple dance together to "Le Paradis Pour Toi" as Daryl and Carol watch, smiling.
Daryl, Carol, and Theo, the latter of whom Daryl is pushing in a wheelbarrow, make their way through a nearby village with walkers -- formerly the elderly residents of the various houses -- locked behind the gates of the various houses. Carol comments that the place gives her the creeps as the walkers have walkers. Theo greets Madame Ducasse who was a kind lady and a good dentist who is responsible for Theo still having most of his teeth, the baker Monsieur Roux, and Monsieur Toussaint explaining that this whole street has died. As there's only old people left in the village, it's too hard to bury someone when they die. Instead, they lock the gate and pay respect when they pass by. Finally arriving at their destination, Theo has Daryl and Carol stay outside while he goes in to talk first.
Carol tells Daryl that, according to Didi, Laurent idolizes him. Laurent made a big impression on the old woman, and it sounds like he's going to do really well at the Commonwealth. Daryl suggests that since the boy has friends in Paris, it might be better if he stays there with them. Carol points out that Laurent is Daryl's responsibility, but Daryl isn't sure that he wants that responsibility. Carol asks about the kids back home, reminding Daryl how he had taken care of Judith and R.J. before leaving, but Daryl just calls it different. Daryl admits that he doesn't want to lose Laurent, and Carol asks if Daryl is afraid that he'll end up like her, but Daryl states that he's not afraid of that. Theo interrupts the argument to bring them inside of the house.
In the garage, Daryl uncovers Jean-Luc's car which is still in great condition and will serve well for their needs. After confirming that they're Americans, Jean-Luc tells Daryl and Carol that he likes America and his brother lives in Florida where Jean-Luc and his wife Louise go to visit them every winter. His memory clearly addled by age, Jean-Luc suggests a place for Daryl and Carol to stay in Florida and to put everything back by Monday as Jean-Luc must have the car to go to work. Theo explains that the old man forgets everything, even about the walkers, something that Theo wishes he could do too.
Using the parts taken from Jean-Luc's car, Daryl and Carol work together on fixing Theo's car as Didi bring them something to drink. Daryl asks the old woman about some ethanol that Theo had mentioned having, and Didi offers to get it for them from the barn. Going to the barn to help Didi, Carol is consumed by her memories of a zombified Sophia emerging from the barn on Hershel's farm. Didi notices Carol's distress, and Carol reveals that she had lost her daughter. Didi somberly tells Carol that she got through her loss and Carol will too, hugging Carol, before they go into the barn together.
Later, Daryl and Carol bicker as they try to get the car started, amusing Theo who compares them to an old married couple. The two quickly hide in the car as a Power of the Living jeep approaches and one of the Guerriers interrogates Theo. Despite Carol's worries that the Guerriers are going to kill Theo and Didi, they leave peacefully after Didi brings them out some food.
The next morning, Daryl and Carol load up the car for the trip to Paris, but Theo convinces them to sit down for a breakfast of Didi's truffle eggs first. The group enjoys Didi's delicious breakfast and Didi asks what their plans are once they find Laurent, and Daryl tells her that they're still working it out. Daryl and Carol notice a Power of the Living convoy approaching the house, and Theo pulls a shotgun on them, shocking both them and Didi. "What'd they offer you," asks Daryl, realizing that the old man had sold them out to Genet. Theo insists to Didi that he did it for the two of them and that armies come and go, and you don't survive by picking the losing side. Disgusted and furious, Didi takes the gun from Theo and orders Daryl and Carol to come with her. Spotting several Guerriers and Genet herself, Didi directs Daryl and Carol on where to hide and gives them the shotgun.
Genet, the Capo, and three of her men enter the kitchen, and Didi lies that Daryl and Carol had left that morning after breakfast with Theo adding that they had done their best to assure the two, but Daryl and Carol were suspicious. Genet sits down to enjoy some of the truffle eggs, telling Theo and Didi that they're looking for some very dangerous people, and they are the enemy who Genet's people are at war with. Didi has heard of people like Genet from her father who died young fighting with the Maquis, people who came to their village during another war, people who were looking for children to put on trains -- the Nazis. Didi defiantly refuses to help the Guerriers despite Genet pointing out that the eggs are still warm even though Daryl and Carol had supposedly left hours ago. Genet knows that the two are still here somewhere, and she orders the Capo to turn Theo and Didi into Ampers to search for the pair.
Spotting Guerriers moving to search the barn, Daryl gives Carol the shotgun and instructs her to cover him while he gets the car. Daryl attempts to retrieve his weapons from the car, but he is forced to hide, grabbing a tire iron from the barn instead. Seeing that Theo and Didi are in trouble, Carol fires through a window, killing two Guerriers, one of whom fires his gun wildly as he falls and causing Genet, the Capo, and the other Guerrier to flee from the kitchen. As the two Guerriers outside move towards the house, Daryl drops the tire iron in favor of a hammer, the noise drawing the Guerriers towards him.
Entering the kitchen, Carol shoots a Guerrier that enters through the opposite door and makes her way upstairs where she exchanges fire with one of Genet's men, before being caught by one from the other direction and cornered at gunpoint by Genet, the Capo, and the Guerrier. Genet tells Carol that she sees judgment in Carol's eyes, but Carol tells her that she's confused how someone like Genet could turn into such a monster. "Do you know what else I've seen? The City of Lights gone dark while the wealthy fled to their villas and their chateaux. Families huddled in terror under the Pont Neuf as barges took the powerful down the Seine for refuge. And while the great works were safe... I saw my love -- my hope -- devoured by the monsters they made. Five feet from me. On the other side of the glass. Have you ever known that kind of loss?"
Genet signals the Capo to kill Carol but Daryl, having killed the two Guerriers outside, enters and shoots the Capo from behind and then kills the last remaining Guerrier, leaving Genet cornered by Daryl and Carol. As Genet divides her attention between the two, Carol grabs the Capo's dart gun and shoots Genet in the back with the Amper Serum which Genet is unable to remove despite her frantic efforts. Genet's veins and eyes turn black, and her head swells up before blood bursts out of it as she horrifically dies. In the kitchen, Daryl and Carol find the heartbroken Theo cradling the dead body of Didi who was hit by the falling Guerrier's fire.
Daryl and Carol help Theo bury Didi and leave for Paris that night, while Theo remains at his plantation.
