The Walking Dead (via WotNot) has unveiled a fresh trailer for episode 4 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The trailer centers around Daryl and Isabelle convening at Isabelle's previous apartment, in search of Laurent's whereabouts. The latest preview additionally showcases a swarm of Walkers and highlights Laurent gazing up at the Eiffel Tower.
What Laurent Running Away Means For Daryl Dixon
Throughout the spinoff, Laurent has been seen as a messianic figure for the Union of Hope due to the circumstances of his birth. As Laurent's mother - who is also Isabelle's sister, Lily - was a Walker when he was delivered, the Union believes that he will bring peace to the post-apocalyptic world. However, now that Quinn has been revealed as his biological father, it is uncertain how this will affect Laurent's status as the messiah.
Several possibilities could unfold from this point onwards. For instance, Laurent might discover that he is immune to the zombie virus due to being born from a Walker. Additionally, he may observe that Walkers ignore him as he journeys towards the Eiffel Tower, hinting at a different kind of immunity that goes beyond mere bites. While it remains unclear what other qualities make Laurent special, apart from his intelligence and kindness, the upcoming episode might shed light on his larger role in The Walking Dead universe.
It is possible that Laurent running away could create a connection between him and The Walking Dead's super-strong zombie variants that are being created by the Cause. It seems that the Cause may be looking for a more efficient way to eliminate zombies, and Laurent could potentially play a part in this if he possesses immunity. The development of Laurent's role in the spinoff will be unveiled as Daryl's journey progresses on October 1.
