On season two, episode five, "Chupacabra," Daryl gets hurt and hallucinates and sees his older, missing brother Merle.
The hallucination tells Daryl that no one will ever care about him in Rick's group the way Merle does. The scene of Daryl trying to climb up from the pit mirrors Daryl trying to climb his way up a slippery patch on season two.
As Daryl nears the top, the hallucination of Merle tells Daryl to grab onto his "friend Rick's hand." That's exactly what Daryl did on Sunday's episode.
Angela Kang, the series' showrunner now, was one of the story editors on that season two episode.
During "Talking Dead," Michael Rooker, who played Merle on the show, also pointed out how the scene between Rick and Daryl reminded him of the "Chupacabra" episode.
"He's kind of been grieving," Rooker says of Daryl not speaking much for the past few seasons on the show. "This relationship with Rick has sort of started to bring him back out, make him feel more like himself, more than himself, more than when he was with his real brother."
