That's fine, but if there really was a council there'd be rules about this that Rick is violating. And Rick has fought challenges to his power but he's also ceded control etc.. Part of your point is Rick is going to catch hell from Daryll, Farmer Ted err Herschel, Lizzie Borden and her sister. She knows this and Rick knows this and the audience sure as f knows this so she's got a chance to plead her way back in.Duh, yeah. See if they pull a Ben/Billy.
I do love the Carl storyline. One of my favorite characters.
Maybe that's why she didn't put up too much of a fight?? If he's back in charge, with all the crap going on at the prison, maybe the road is a better bet???? Rick tends to get a lot of people killed.
I rather think it's the fact that she has seen Rick operate over the past couple years. He kept her alive when she really didn't have much to offer the group. He's taken on about everyone and won. (Governor, Shane, the prisoners, Meryl, just recently Tyreese). He's not really one you go against and win. She probably realizes this. He's made his decision (although it might end up being the wrong one) and that's pretty much that.
And NOT begging is NOT counter to her new nature. She never said she was sorry for what she did. She stuck to her guns. She thinks she was correct in what she did. She thinks Rick is wrong in what he is doing.
Carol needed to say
"I think I'm right and the council, governance that we set up should decide my fate - I will abide by that. Rick if you banish me now aren't you in fact hypocritical and doing exactly what you are banishing me for? Namely taking the law and life and death into your own hands. I thought you were not OUR GOVERNOR. Logically if I was wrong you are wrong to banish me on your own. Therefore we are both banished, but since I'm on the alleged council I will put in a good word for you if you drive me back to the prison. Now that I think about it, me accepting this banishment without protest is more admitting that I was wrong than if I cried and pleaded with you. Its like I'm admitting a mistake and willing to start over with a new group having learned my lesson. And I understand that there's only so much time left in the hour so I can't really argue and having someone new off the prison grounds sets up exciting zombie ambush action and new people meet-ups. So I will abide by your decision and see you out here next Sunday night at 10pm EST, 9 Central when they banish you."
Love Carol
PS who is Ben/Billy?
