The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – “The Book of Carol” is here. We pick up only two weeks after the events of season one with Daryl training Laurent to kill walkers. Meanwhile, Carol is in Freeport, Maine and finally discovers that Daryl is all the way in France. She’s determined to get there and, in a miracle that only The Walking Dead universe can pull off, Carol does make it to France. Here’s how Carol ends up in France to search for Daryl in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
Over in France, things are tense after everyone at the Nest discovers that Genet has a few of their people in captivity thanks to Pouvoir. This could compromise their safety and put Laurent in danger once again. Daryl agrees with Sylvie that they have to save them because, well, we know he loves to fight. He doubts that he could be happy at the Nest because there are people he left behind.
He wonders if his friends are thinking of him and then we cut to Carol back in the US. She goes to that junkyard where Daryl ended up being captured and begins to ask for information about “the guy who owned that bike” before Mick. (If you remember, she beat him up and stuffed him in that car trunk.) Predictably, the guys try to give her a hard time so she gets Daryl’s crossbow and makes hell for them until one guy finally admits the truth.
She eventually finds a car and takes off down the road, unsure of what to do next. Lucky for her, a small plane flies overhead, capturing her attention for a little too long. She hits a walker and crashes the car, causing a wound on her head. Still, Carol fights walkers and follows that plane towards a small abode with a greenhouse. This mini compound has gates and other forms of protection. But Carol sneaks onto the property and begins her classic “damsel in distress” routine to get a guy’s attention. His name is Ash, he lives there alone, and yes that’s his airplane. He is also very hot, but that’s not the point here.
Ash has cracked the code of surviving solo. He has a generator and a pretty decent food supply along with a literal airplane. He mainly uses it to get above everything for a while. Honestly, it is shocking that the CRM hasn’t noticed him nor taken him out yet. The next day, he goes for a quick flight to look for parts and Carol’s nosy ass goes into his shed and greenhouse to snoop around. She finds a world map but then his generator goes out and walkers get past the fence. She fights them and tears a portion of his whole greenhouse up in a walker battle.
Ash is understandably upset with her for invading his private place and tells her to leave. She apologizes and says she hopes they could become friends. He opens up to her about Avi, his son who died when he wandered off, just like what happened to Sophia. The greenhouse has a memorial spot for Avi. His son’s death explains why Ash doesn’t want to leave and go anywhere in his plane.
Instead of connecting with him over their deceased kids, Carol lies to him. She says that her daughter Sophia and husband Ed (who is also long dead) were in France when the outbreak happened and she wonders if she’s alive. It is emotionally manipulative and initially doesn’t work but Ash changes his mind and decides to take her. This is baffling because, like he said, there’s no weather forecast and communications, which makes this trip risky. Also, it has been well over a decade since the outbreak. Even if you have an address for a person, it is very unlikely that they will be there. Rick’s group even left Atlanta and ended up in Virginia! And now Daryl’s silly self is all the way in France and fighting folks!
Anyway, the power grid blows at night while Ash and Carol are working on the plane. His ethanol storage catches on fire and walkers descend upon them. So Carol gets in a plane with him and they fly out towards the sunrise and on their way to France. Of course, they don’t land in this episode but we do know that this plane will get her at least overseas. Let’s find out the rest of her journey as The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season two plays out.
(Honestly, we kinda already know that poor Ash won’t make it. The story is about Daryl and Carol and he’s merely a tool to get her from point A to point B. Hate that for him.)

In a space primarily dominated by men, women are really making their presence known in gaming. But we’re not talking about just any women — we’re talking Black women. They are thriving now more than ever, making it clear women of color have always loved to game, there just wasn’t such a welcoming area to showcase it.
The gaming industry has always been a growing field, and that only multiplied when streaming platforms, such as Twitch, were created. Back in the days, we didn’t have the luxury of a simple hit record and play set up. Gamers would have to screen record their sessions and then upload them to YouTube. Oh, how things have evolved and for the absolute better! Because of the ease of streaming, many gamers have turned their favorite pastime into a way of building an audience with people who share common interests. For the lucky ones who have been successful in their venture, this has become a full time job that helps them pay the bills while having fun. Let’s take a look at seven Black girl gamers you should check out!
Samora
If Final Fantasy and the Legend of Zelda are your jam, Samora is your girl. Hailing from Amsterdam, she dives into weekly broadcasts on her Twitch account in front of 36,800 followers. She is one of those gamers to keep an eye on as she has been gaining popularity through her 8-hour sessions. She is active on her Twitch schedule, constantly updating when she will go live next. She’s serious about her craft as her next stream is set for a five a.m. start time!
ChelseaBytes
When you think of paving the way for women in the gaming world, think of ChelseaBytes. She recently spoke with Black Girl Nerds along with a fellow streamer, BigBossBoze. She’s a leader of Twitch’s Women’s Guild, a group that offers a space to share your authentic voice and experiences with peers where privacy is respected, concerns are acknowledged, and differences are celebrated. That’s not all! In addition to gaming out, Chelsea is also an official G2 Esports content creator and on-camera host so there’s no telling where you’ll see her next!
PikaChulita
Katie goes by several names including Pika, KatieChu, or most notably, PikaChulita. Identifying as bi/pan, she has a strict code of no homophobia, transphobia, or racism for engaging on her channel. She began her streaming journey in 2014 primarily on console but eventually branched out to Twitch where she houses close to 16,000 subscribers. Pika expresses that she plays entirely for fun but welcomes anything extra along the way. Ever wonder what tech to buy to get started in this field? She’s got you covered with a detailed list of things she uses in her personal set up!
StoryModeBae
Briana, better known as StoryModeBae, is very well rounded, making a name for herself across several platforms including over 65,500 subscribers on YouTube, 47,400 on Twitch, and sharing her thoughts to her 30,000 followers on X. She started her gaming journey at the tender age of five years old with Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Frogger, so it’s clear sis knew what she was born to do. Bri stands out with her branding, as her Twitch displays graphics detailing her rules for engaging with her content as well as what perks (such as custom emotes and sub hat badges) she offers to her viewers.
JazzyGuns
Jasmine aka JazzyGuns has been around for over eight years and continues to build a name for herself on YouTube. While her fellow colleagues have made the transition to Twitch, she has remained loyal to the OG platform. With over 601,000 subscribers, she plays a variety of games, with a focus on Among Us and Resident Evil. In addition to her gaming account, she also has a shared channel called Dwayne N Jazz, which she creates content on with her boyfriend. Their reactions, challenges, pranks, and skits have earned them an impressive 2.45 million subscribers. If you ever needed a sign to join forces with your man and build a following, this is it.
JaharaJayde
Jahara is the go to for all things Final Fantasy, as she is currently on a mission to play all games in their entirety. Her home base is Twitch, where she goes live for hours at a time, diving into fantasy and adventure. In addition to gaming, she’s an avid cosplayer as she got her start on IG showcasing hundreds of characters to her 361,000 followers. She’s proof that you can pursue more than one passion, even combining them into one as her TikTok features her fits and gaming clips (she’s killing it with over 736,000 followers there). At this pace, there’s no telling what she can accomplish.
BlackGirlGamers
While not exactly an individual account, we can’t leave out BlackGirlGamers as they represent exactly what this list highlights. Garnering the title of Official Twitch Channel for Black Girl Gamers, they offer heightened visibility and put together events, workshops, and consulting to anyone looking to build themselves. They have a consistent schedule of streams weekly that reach their 42,000 subscribers, so it’s safe to say they are the go-to channel for any female Black gamer looking to get insight.

Months after its release, Deadpool & Wolverine is still making waves. This time for a recently released deleted scene to hype up the digital and physical release of the film. The new scene features the fan-favorite Wade Wilson making quips at familiar MCU titles.
To promote the upcoming digital release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Studios released one of many deleted scenes that will be present as bonus content in the physical releases. The physical release will also come with featurettes like director’s commentary and gag reels. Physical releases will be in 4K UHD Blu-ray and come in two special edition Steelbooks. One is a Deadpool version, and the other is a Wolverine version.
In the deleted scene below, Paradox, played by Matthew Macfadyen, brings Ryan Reynolds’ character to the Time Variance Authority. Wilson has just awoken and is walking into the elevator.
Paradox tells Wilson, “This may come as a shock to a narcissistic, blathering bag of meat like yourself, but your universe is not the only one in existence,” evidently referencing the multiverse.
Wilson wittily hits back with, “Oh please, you think I haven’t seen Doctor Ant and the Quantumverse of Madness?” The deleted scene ends with Paradox giving Wilson more information on the multiverse and the ever so ominous Sacred Timeline.
Obviously, this remark plays with the MCU movie titles of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Both films heavily involve the multiverse concept and have been integral to beginning and pushing forth the multiverse saga. Deadpool & Wolverine actually mention these films during other moments. For example, when Deadpool uses Doctor Strange’s Sling Rings in the film or when Ant-Man’s skeleton is seen in the Void.
Deadpool & Wolverine will be available to purchase on digital platforms like Prime Video, Fandango, and Apple TV on Oct. 1. The physical release of the film is slated for later in the month on Oct. 22.
