The 'Walking Dead' Brain-Dead Move of the Week: Fool Daryl Twice, Shame on All of Us

Every week on #TheWalkingDead, someone does something stupid that needlessly endangers the lives of themselves and others. Here, we commemorate those decisions in the hopes that they won’t be repeated. But of course, they know they will be.

Woods Guy takes Daryl prisoner at gunpoint, but Daryl escapes when the girl with the Single White Female haircut collapses and distracts them. Great, he’s free! Except…

So Daryl feels bad and goes back to return the insulin to Woods Guy. He does take the guy’s gun as payment, and is about to run off when a roving band of even worse guys drives up.

When Daryl turns back around, Woods Guy is holding him at gunpoint — again! A gun that Daryl gave back to him! As penance for his stupidity, Daryl has to hand over his beloved crossbow, and can only watch as these two drive off on his motorbike. In the immortal words of Otter from Animal House: “You f–ked up! You trusted us!”

So Daryl learns the hard way that you can’t trust anybody in a zombie apocalypse. Especially people you just met. Who have previously held you hostage. Well, at least now he has a dumb little figurine to remind him of that!
