She's been having what appears to be a crisis of conscience over the lives she's taken as a result of the apocalypse, and the possible guilt over the situation could be affecting Carol (Melissa McBride) in catastrophic ways on The Walking Dead.

Since Alexandria began its rebuilding process after it became overrun, Carol has become seemingly more adjusted to the quiet life the community once promised, one which allows her to have a more domesticated lifestyle where she bakes cookies for everyone and gets to live in peace. But after meeting the members of the Hilltop and learning about the threat of Negan, it's become more evident that something more seems to be happening with her-and she isn't okay any longer with living a violent life filled with forms of vigilante justice.

To make matters worse for her, she was forced to up her body count after she and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) were kidnapped by some of Negan's people and held captive-and had to fight their way towards survival. Now, safe back in Alexandria, but aware that a threat likely still exists, she appears to be rethinking the way she's become, afraid of the possibility that she could become as cold about murdering others-even if it is necessary for her own survival-as Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and even, Daryl (Norman Reedus).

Carol will even seek out her friend to see if he regrets the one time he helped someone else outside of the group, only to find that he does, and wants nothing more than to go back in time and keeping Dwight (Austin Amelio) from stealing his bike and his crossbow.

"Those people you met, the ones in the burnt forest," Carol says in a preview clip for the Sunday, March 20 episode. "You saved them right?"

"I should've killed them," Daryl replies.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
