Spoilers for Season 3, Episode 5, “Limbo.” Daryl sets out for Barcelona in search of Justina, but a hijacked water supply and a train dragged by chained walkers pull him into a fight for a vulnerable community. Meanwhile, Carol’s cover story about Roberto begins to unravel.
What happens to Roberto—and why Daryl splits from Carol
Daryl, Carol, and Antonio find Roberto captured and suspended above a mass of walkers by men tied to El Alcazar. They get him down. Roberto explains that he found Justina and escaped with her, but the men caught them again. More importantly, Justina did not choose to leave: after confronting Fede about his behavior, she was sent away.

Daryl decides to follow Justina toward Barcelona. Carol and Antonio take the injured Roberto back to the village, leaving Daryl to continue alone.
Daryl encounters Chofo’s train
On the road, Daryl stops when a man begs him for water. The encounter turns threatening, so Daryl rides on. Soon he spots a train being hauled by chained walkers. Chofo, riding aboard, wants Daryl’s motorcycle. Chofo’s men chase him, knock him off the bike, and force him to continue on foot.

Daryl comes across a community that includes people with leprosy. Mateo and Amaia give him water; Mateo asks for help recovering the community’s stolen supply from Chofo’s group. Amaia is initially wary of Daryl, who has only four bullets and cannot simply outgun the men guarding the train.
How Daryl frees the walkers and defeats Chofo
Daryl and the community improvise weapons from rope and nails. They ambush some of Chofo’s men, taking ammunition and creating an opening to attack the train. Daryl frees the chained walkers, turning them against the guards, then fights his way through the train and kills Chofo.

With the stolen water returned, Daryl can leave and resume his journey toward Barcelona. Before he goes, Rosa gives him her thermos. One small oddity amid the train’s brutality: TVLine identifies Chofo’s pet Lola as an iguana.
Carol’s lie puts her in danger
Back in the village, Carol tells Fede that bandits injured Roberto and says Daryl is working on their boat. Doña Marga treats Roberto with herbs. Valentina teases Carol about her interest in Antonio, and Carol invites him to go to America with her and Daryl. Antonio does not answer the invitation in this episode.

Doña Marga notices Roberto is wearing the compass necklace he gave Justina and brings it to Fede. Fede responds by sending a man to check on Daryl’s boat. That investigation could expose Carol’s story.
