Daryl's Mystery: Who Put Him On The Boat?

In the first episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Daryl (Norman Reedus) is seen washing up on the shores of Marseille, France. He is unconscious and strapped to a capsized rowboat. Later in the episode, Daryl reveals that he had run into some bad people. They put me on a boat. That didn't go well. And I washed ashore here. It is eventually revealed that the boat was also carrying walkers for experimentation. During its transatlantic journey, a mutiny broke out, apparently led by Daryl, during which he went overboard and was presumed dead. However, the details of how and why Daryl ended up on the boat remain unclear.

Daryl's escape from the boat

Daryl was imprisoned on a ship, which was conducting walker experiments. During its transatlantic journey, a mutiny broke out, apparently led by Daryl, during which he went overboard and was presumed dead. Instead, he lashed himself to a lifeboat and made it to the shore of France.

Daryl's actions on the boat will play into the storyline, as he destroyed important research, and the new group is now hunting him down.

The leader of the group, Genet, is determined to find out if Daryl is really dead, as she wants them to track him down. Daryl's escape from the boat sets the stage for his journey in France, which promises to be his most dangerous mission yet.

Madame Genet's research

Madame Genet is the leader of a nefarious collective called the Cause. She is a new villain in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and she is one of the people pulling the strings. Madame Genet is not pleased with the progress of her ship's crew and their experiments. She wants to know who destroyed her ongoing work and who escaped from the ship.

In the final scene of the premiere episode, Madame Genet is informed by the ship's captain that an American prisoner named Dixon escaped and is presumed dead. Madame Genet is unconvinced, and she wants them to track him down. She is angered that her research has been destroyed and is determined to find out if the prisoner is truly dead.

The identity of the prisoner

Daryl reveals that he encountered some "bad people" who put him on a boat, which did not go well, and he eventually washed up on the shore. The boat is later revealed to be carrying walkers for experimentation, and during its transatlantic journey, a mutiny breaks out, led by Daryl, who goes overboard and is presumed dead. However, he manages to lash himself to a lifeboat and make it to land.

The leader of the group responsible for capturing Daryl is Madame Genet, who is the head of a nefarious collective called the Cause. She is determined to find out if Daryl is truly dead and wants to track him down. Daryl's actions on the boat, including the destruction of important research, have created new enemies, and his journey in France will be his most dangerous mission yet.

The experiments on the boat

Genet is furious that her ongoing work has been destroyed. She wants to know who caused the destruction and is keen to track them down. The doctor tells her that the research is largely destroyed and that some of the test subjects may still be of use.

The experiments may be linked to the final scene of another Walking Dead spinoff, World Beyond. In the final episode of that series, viewers were shown a French lab—the same lab Dr. Edwin Jenner referenced in season one of The Walking Dead. A female French scientist was watching video journals of Jenner discussing the use of cardiac plaques as a host medium to jump-start the circulatory system and expressing a desire to see more of the "variant cohorts."

The female scientist was then shot and reanimated as a walker, appearing to be moving faster and striking harder than the average zombie. This raises the question of whether the French folks in the lab and on the boat are trying to engineer a breed of super-zombies.

Daryl is responsible for the destruction on the boat and the disruption of the experiments. He was a prisoner on the boat and led a mutiny, during which he went overboard and was presumed dead. However, he managed to lash himself to a lifeboat and make it to land.

Daryl's new enemies

Daryl Dixon's new enemies include a group with connections to variant zombies, which may be his most dangerous mission yet.

The leader of this group, Genet, is determined to find out if Daryl is really dead, as the captain of the boat claims. She is angered that the mayhem he caused destroyed important research her group was working on. This new organisation may have connections to variant zombies, something hinted at in the latest trailer for season 1. Daryl may have accidentally destroyed research aimed at combating the rise of variants in France, or he may have decimated research used to create variants for a nefarious purpose.

Daryl also has a new enemy in Codron, a soldier who believes Daryl killed his brother. This complicates the season's chain of events as Daryl did not kill him.

Daryl's enemies are now hunting him down, and with a new group hot on his trail, this may be Daryl's most dangerous mission yet.
