The Walking Dead’s Best Show Is Headed for an Exciting Ending

by

After four seasons, the show concluded its run. It was the second spin-off of *The Walking Dead*, and followed the main character’s adventures in Europe after being shipwrecked in France. Season two brought back Carol Peletier, finally pairing the two leads, though they haven’t yet managed to return to America. Their friendship remains strong, but the supporting characters have evolved over the show’s three seasons.

Some viewers and critics felt that the second season of *Daryl Dixon* had too many major characters leave or die. Isabelle Carriere’s death was a key moment, and it led to several other characters—introduced in the first two seasons and intended to be important to Daryl and Carol’s stories—also leaving the show. By the end of Season 2, characters like Laurent and Ash were all gone, suggesting the show was preparing for a fresh start in Season 3. The move to Spain supports this idea, but not all the characters from the French storyline are gone for good. Codron, who had a complex relationship with Daryl, will return as part of the Spanish cast.

What Happened to Codron on The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon?

Codron first appeared in the premiere episode of *Daryl Dixon* as a member of the Power of the Living, an organization once controlled by Madame Genet. He was initially presented as hardened and unbothered by violence – traits the Power of the Living actually fostered in its soldiers. After learning his younger brother had been killed, Codron wrongly believed Daryl was responsible and sought revenge. Simultaneously, he was ordered by Genet to kill Laurent. When the opportunity arose to complete both objectives, Codron paused, unable to harm the child, and ultimately spared Daryl in order to protect Laurent.

During the second season, Daryl and Codron began to reconcile after Codron left the Power of the Living group. They connected through shared feelings of guilt and grief over the loss of their brothers. As Codron reflected on his experiences, he rediscovered his faith and found acceptance regarding his brother’s death, realizing Daryl wasn’t to blame. Despite this progress, Codron briefly attacked Daryl in the Chunnel, triggered by a hallucination where he saw Daryl killing his brother, and seemingly followed a vision of his brother into the darkness.

Codron’s exit from the story was deliberately ambiguous, leaving the door open for him to reappear – he was the only original character whose fate remained unknown. Viewers weren’t sure if he’d survived the incident in the Channel Tunnel or if he’d managed to return to France and reunite with Fallou’s team. However, in the Season 3 finale, he made a clear decision about his path. The episode begins and ends with Codron in Spain, suggesting he’s searching for his American companions.

He first spotted Laurent’s Rubik’s Cube, which Daryl had left at the memorial, and then he saw the boat explode at the end of the episode. Although he didn’t go to Daryl and Carol, it seems he probably paused to check out what happened.

Codron’s Return Means Good Things for Daryl Dixon’s Final Season

As the story of Daryl Dixon nears its end – potentially concluding both his and Carol’s arcs – it feels like a natural way to bring things full circle. The show’s reinvention in season three has been well-received, with consistently positive reviews. However, fans still fondly remember the connections Daryl made in the earlier seasons. He’s unable to reconnect with Isabelle, and Laurent is probably now in the United States, near the Commonwealth. Considering everything, Codron is the only character, besides Carol, who realistically could remind Daryl of his time in France.

Codron and Daryl still have a lot to discuss, which promises more emotional conflict. This conflict will likely lead Daryl to focus on creating strong connections with others. Their relationship, which began with dislike but evolved into respect, highlights Daryl’s personal growth throughout the series. While Daryl can share memories with Carol, she wasn’t part of his experiences in France. Only Codron truly understands that part of Daryl’s past, and can help him find peace – and vice versa.

Fans are really hoping to see a character from the first season return, to show the series still remembers where it began. While the France storyline is over, it was crucial for the development of Daryl and Carol. Plus, it opened the door for future stories in the *Walking Dead* universe, potentially expanding beyond North America.

We’ll have to wait and see how Codron’s story unfolds in Season 4 and what his personal goals are, but his involvement does feel meaningful and justified.

You can now watch Season 3 of *The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon* on AMC+. A fourth and final season is currently being made.
