A while later, Carol and the other leaders map their route through a frozen lake on Alphas land and Michonne warns they have to leave now or they won't make it. After helping to rescue Connie from the Ferals, Carol is shown to be relieved and pleased by Connie's apparent lack of anger towards her with Connie even volunteering to help Carol during a bad storm. Sam insists that he helps her make the cookies himself, and Carol reluctantly obliges, on the condition that he must steal chocolate from Olivia and not get caught in doing so. As Carol leaves the Kingdom, Benjamin asks her to teach him how to fight. He yelled at his wife, telling her they wouldn't have enough for the two of them if she "keep[s] running [her] damn mouth off" to everyone they meet. In reality, Carol wakes up and holds her now empty pills bottle as a tear rolls from her eye. Carol is cornered by the Saviors, who are still peppering her hiding place with bullets. Carol and Jacqui are good friends and look after each other during their stay at the Atlanta Camp. Upon hearing Carol's crying in the middle of the night, Daryl and Andrea go back out into the forest to search for Carol's daughter, but returned without her. She gives him advice on staying quiet and tells him to go home. Later, she finds Morgan on the steps of a house by himself. Carol reacts in confusion and asks about her son's whereabouts. This distraction gives Rick, Daryl, Glenn and Bob the opportunity they need to escape from the butchers, who are about to slaughter them for meat. Daryl pulls out a knife and threatens to cut off his fingers, ears, and teeth. He grabs a knife and charges at her, and a gunshot sounds. As they walk around the camp, Carol tells Daryl about her travels. The Walking Deadshownever went in this direction, largely becauseit took an entirely different approach toCarol's character development. Later on, Carol tricks Morgan and pushes him aside and runs to the basement to kill Owen. T-Dog is saddened and sorry for Carol when Sophia's fate is revealed, and constantly looks after her. The three make it back to the Kingdom, battered, bruised and broken and Carol is heartbroken for Ezekiel's losses. Later on, she tried to stop Daryl from going out looking for her daughter, Sophia, because he was still healing. Eugene, indeed, confirms that he does. She forbids him from telling anyone where she is. While the others figured out what to do next, she took care of a bitten Jim in the RV and noticed his deteriorating physical health. He goes as far as holding a knife to Carol's throat in an attempt to extort guns from Rick. She once took Sophia to a shelter in Atlanta in an attempt to get away from Ed, but after a day and a half, they went back to him. He explains that Rick wants to fight the Saviors, and that's why he was at the Kingdom. They get Gavin's attention when he hears gunfire in the distance and retreats to the auditorium with Ezekiel and his remaining men. During the group meeting, Carol said she wants the fighting to stop and for them to just make a decision about Randall. Eventually, Tyreese and Sasha return to the prison, and he presumably gets to know Carol better. She works alongside Ezekiel throughout the battle. Carol, in the meek persona she used with the Alexandrians, pretends to be in awe of The Kingdom. He suggests they stay the night and return to Alexandria in the morning so she can receive proper medical treatment. Daryl sees Carol leaving and catches up, inquiring where she is going. However, they all miss and the savior ducks behind a car for cover. That night, they arrive at one of the borders on a bridge where Gamma is holding Aaron at knifepoint. Carol asks Michonne about Judith and R.J. and then tells her about Henry moving to Hilltop.
Later on while heading to the safe house, they find Ana's dead body, to which Carol has no surprising reaction to. On the road, the group spots walkers in a field but keep moving undetected.

During this time, Tyreese takes a moment to look around at the unusual sight of being able to sit in a living-room. She tearfully tells him she had to. She reached the RV just in time and she drove off with the group away from the complex as the ruins burned in flames. Afterward, Carol is taken home so she can sleep. Carol visits Tobin, who is recuperating in the infirmary, and apologizes for leaving him back in Alexandria. She relieves him of his duties and assumes her post. When Ed attempted to tear Carol away from the laundry group of woman, Jacqui attempted to prevent it from happening, noting the bruises that Carol already had, and the new ones she was sure to receive. This caused Ed to become even angrier and caused him to slap Carol across her face. They tell them they already killed the remaining Saviors. Ed constantly abused Carol and their daughter, Sophia, even after the apocalypse had hit. Ezekiel suggests a plan that would allow her to "go and not go.". "Meet us on the kill floor," Carol responds mimicking Paula's voice. He slowly starts to eat it before being overcome with emotion. She looks up and they stare at each other with anger. As morning comes, Carol is still struggling to escape the debris she is trapped under, as a lone walker crawls towards the shack. Carol, Morgan and Henry discuss the circumstances of Carl's death, having found out he died helping a stranger.
A few episodes later, Daryl and Carol are out scouting for Alpha's herd. However, Morgan later gains the upperhand and slams her to the ground, knocking her unconscious before he, himself, is knocked unconscious by Owen after becoming distracted. Since he had already been bitten and would turn anyway, T-Dog heroically charged the two zombies, holding them back and sacrificing his life to allow Carol to escape. Following the Whisperer War, Carol moves to the Commonwealth, where she now works in Elodie's Treats as a baker as well as doing side jobs for Lance Hornsby as part of a deal with him to get Ezekiel treatment for his thyroid cancer. Ezekiel, Carol, and Jerry infiltrate the Highwaymen base, where, the leader, Ozzy, informs them that the meeting is for the King alone. As months pass on the road, Carol admits that Rick has done a good job and got them farther than Shane ever could have. She and Molly leave Carol alone in the cell. Ozzy asks if they have his toll, while his people approach with their weapons drawn. Lydia observes that people don't know how to do that anymore, so they simply stay away from both of them. It is Carol who gives Rick the grenade [she'd found it and put it in her purse] that frees them from the CDC shortly before the explosion. When the truck ran out of gas, Carol is seen walking on the side of the road with rest of the group. Carol returns in this episode, saving Lizzie, Mika and Judith from walkers after Tyreese goes to investigate the sound of nearby screaming. Carol and Yumiko have a poor relationship. Alpha then dubs Carol a "stupid cooze". Carol reassures him that she is still there. Carol regains consciousness in the bed of a horse drawn wagon. Later that night, Spencer takes Carol's shift to go on watch for the missing survivors. Carol was shocked and in a state of disbelief, asking Rick many times if Daryl was actually gone and how he could possibly leave the group.

They spot a herd of walkers in the distance and smile. When Carol tries to lift Lizzie's spirits after her father's death, Mika tells her that Lizzie is "messed up," which makes Carol uneasy. Maggie urges her not to think about it. Despite Daryl's objections, Carol tells him she feels fine to go on the mission and says she can help him look for Lydia afterwards even though she doesn't want to be found. However, Daryl says that the Saviors won't fall in line just because he says so. Alpha gloats that no one is coming to save Carol, including Ezekiel and especially Daryl after what she did to Connie. She waits as Daryl exits the infirmary and talks with him. They appear to be much closer by the end of the episode. They both leap for the gun which Carol gets too. She is clearly saddened by his death. Daryl and Morgan rig a tripwire across a road. Gray Magna catches up with Carol, wishing to talk. Carol says she doesn't need her help.

She comes across Morgan tying up one of the Wolves and instead shoots him, rejecting Morgan's continuous efforts to stop the attackers by non-lethal means. Carol admits she accompanied Morgan to keep an eye on him, not to look for Henry. Carol then leaves, the walkers leaving her alone due to still believing Carol to be one of them. Carol outliving the main show speaks to just how muchThe Walking Dead universe has benefited from her story being so heavily altered in the early seasons. They follow it as it stumbles into one of the borders. Daryl is overcome with emotion and runs to Carol hugging her and crying because he was so happy to have her back.
