Warning: Spoilers ahead for Daryl Dixon Season 2, Episode 1.Something very evil is about to attack Laurent, Daryl’s surrogate son, in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2. The entire first season of Norman Reedus The Walking Dead Spinoff involved accompanying the mighty Rubik’s Cube-solver Laurent to the Nest – a fortified fortress of religious survivors based in Mont-St-Michel in France. After trekking across France in season 1, Daryl would have hoped he could relax in season 2. Inevitably, he’s not so lucky, as Daryl Dixon Season 2, Episode 1 immediately confirms that the journey was a colossal waste of time.
The Nest and its leader, Losang, now appear much more villainous than they did before Daryl Dixon Season 1’s ending. Having already placed ridiculously high expectations on the youngster by proclaiming him their destined leader, the Nest’s higher-ups begin pressuring Laurent to become the idol they have already decided he is. Afraid Laurent will be more interested in practicing the art of zombie-slaying alongside Daryl, the Nest proposes to bring forward a “ritual“As part of Laurent’s ascent to the top job.

Is Laurent’s ritual a sacrifice or a test in Daryl Dixon Season 2?
The secretive and restless woman around the nest in Daryl Dixon The premiere of season 2 all but confirms that the ritual is something dangerous, and that Daryl Dixon himself would not approve if he knew the details. On the other hand, there is no doubt that Losang and his followers turn on Laurent and want him to surviveSo the ritual cannot be anything as grotesquely cruel as killing the boy in a sacrificial ceremony.
Daryl and Isabelle are unlikely to relish the idea of ​​Laurent being forced to endure such hardship on the orders of their supposed allies.
One possibility is that otherwise Daryl Dixon Spinoff character is scheduled to be sacrificed in a way that allows Laurent to supposedly fulfill his destiny. One nest higher-up notes how Losang himself is not ready for the ritual, which may indicate that it involves the settlement’s current leader dying so that Laurent can rise to his position. Alternatively, Laurent may need to abandon all personal attachments before leading the nest, meaning Daryl and Isabelle are the victims and Laurent must give the order.
Apart from sacrificial letters, it is possible that the ritual will require Laurent to pass some kind of test. Rather than a straightforward pop quiz, Laurent’s exam is likely to carry a lot more risk. The residents of the nest truly believe that Laurent is a myth with immunity The Walking Dead‘s zombie virus – an assumption largely based on how he survived being born to a mother who reanimated. As such, Laurent could be expected to walk through a gauntlet of undead and survive, or perform some other unreasonable miracle.
