‘The Walking Dead’ season 4, episode 12 preview: Norman Reedus shows Daryl’s dark side

When “The Walking Dead” returns to AMC next week, it looks like there will be a very different sort of feel to the proceedings. For example, get ready to see more of Daryl and Beth! The two characters were not present at all during tonight’s “Claimed,” but there is still quite a bit of story left to tell.

For one, it seems like Norman Reedus’ character may be opting to try to take the Rick route (which should be a trademark somewhere) and move into a house. It’s a nice little way to get refuge from the walkers, until of course they come to you. The preview video below is basically going to cause all sorts of Daryl superfans to panic, thinking that their beloved character could actually be on the verge of dying. Do we worry about that? Maybe a little, but he is probably one of the few people the producers would hesitate to kill. We are much more worried about Beth, even if we only recently saw the death of Hershel.

Are there going to be some other people featured in this episode? It’s possible, given that AMC does not want to give everything away when it comes to this story just yet. The biggest thing to take away from this is that there is going to be all sorts of great stuff from Daryl; if you love this character, then this may be your favorite of the entire season.
