Season 1. Pretend Merle didn't get left in Atlanta and Daryl witnesses what goes down between Ed, Carol, and the rest of the ladies down at the quarry.

He's been watching her since Day 1.
The heavy curl of her thin shoulders, the timid tiptoe of her feet. The shy avoidance of her blue eyes when that fat fuck she's married to is looking.
Without a word passed between them, he knows her. Recognizes the silent suffering. Reads the carefully hidden signs, watches out for her. Has been for a while now, and today? He's had enough. Can't watch that piece of shit husband of hers manhandle her one more time without doing something. "Leave her alone, you sonuvabitch."
"Come over here and make me."
"Be glad to."
Feedback is love.
Thanks for reading!
