   Summary

   The apocalypse didn’t happen, and so Carol remains in an abusive relationship. When Daryl meets her, he finds himself in a position to help her. Wanting to help Carol also, Rick enlists Daryl’s aid. Sophia just wants to be a normal twelve-year-old.

   Daryl’s never had this many people counting on him before. It changes him, though he’ll never be what Rick seems to think he is.
