Carol had one of the most shocking and transformative character arcs inThe Walking Dead.
When she was introduced inThe Walking Deadseason 1, Carol was shy and timid.
She was trying to raise her daughter while suffering horrific abuse at the hands of her husband.
In these early episodes, Carol needed other characters like Lori and Shane to stand up for her.
For the most part, that transformation was empowering and inspirational.
But that growth also came with some disturbing side effects.
