As the stakes continue to rise in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon , characters become more and more at risk of being killed off, and the show's latest death puts a handful of survivors in jeopardy. Daryl Dixon 's supporting cast was treated incredibly well in season 1 and, unlike in some of the other Walking Dead spinoffs, they also played a major part in the plot. Having these new additions to the franchise survive and grow important to the protagonist helped Daryl Dixon become arguably the best Walking Dead spinoff , but this only made the recent death all the more shocking.
While it's important for the show not to get predictable by keeping everyone alive, the unexpected departure completely flipped audience expectations. L'Union betraying Daryl did indicate that the drama may only get more intense as there is no real safe haven for the central characters, but it was still a surprise to see someone from the main group go.
However, the series may not be done, as this death opens the door for more exits. As a result, three key characters are far more likely to die than ever, making their stories in Daryl Dixon season 2 exciting yet worrying. Despite being a crucial character throughout Daryl Dixon season 1, Sylvie was killed off in season 2's third episode, breaking a character survival trend for the show. Although characters like Azlan and Quinn died in season 1, while Emile was recently killed off in "Moulin Rouge", they weren't truly a part of Daryl's small group of trusted allies, unlike Sylvie.
Sylvie had been part of the mission to escort Laurent to the Nest since the show's first episode and was one of Daryl Dixon 's main supporting characters. However, she finally met her end during a scuffle with L'Union. Although her death was an accident, The Union's planned ceremony is what ultimately cost Sylvie her life. After incapacitating the guard watching over her, she tried to warn everyone about what Losang had planned for Laurent but wound up falling to her death during the commotion.
Given she was such an important character, Sylvie arguably deserved a better exit than this unexpected demise, but her death is actually a huge deal as she is the first member of Daryl's core group to be killed. Therefore, losing Sylvie ends the survival trend regarding the show's most important survivors, as she is the first central character among Daryl Dixon season 2's cas t to go.
