My speculation has been running wild lately and I honestly I am warming up to ideas of future arcs for Daryl (mostly because I feel like it fits better for his character rather than Rick's in this current arc).
When the group reaches:
Alexandria Safe-Zone in the comics, they are all given jobs. Rick and Michonne become constables/cops. I think that Daryl will take the place of Michonne in this arc mostly because it fits better for his character arc. It will also be a nice nod to Rick's original RIGHT HAND MAN and partner in the force Shane.
Since Rick has basically come terms with who he is (consistent and ready to embrace when it's time to do this and when it's not) and also his experience as a cop it doesn't seem likely that he'll be the one who: Attacks Pete in the Pete/Jessie Anderson abuse plot in ASZ.
Here's the link to Pete and Jessie Anderson's wikis:
http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Anderson
http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Jessie_Anderson
Basically after Rick and Michonne becomes constables, Rick notices signs that Jessie Anderson is being abused by her husband Peter and he loses it and attacks Pete. Michonne hits him when she realizes how ridiculous and crazy he looks.
I think this arc will be remixed:
Rick and Daryl will be constables, and when Daryl notices signs that Pete Anderson is abusing Jessie, his childhood past wounds open up and ultimately the catalyst for Daryl beating Peter is that Carol will be involved in solving the domestic dispute but Pete will hit her causing Daryl to go off and attack Pete. Similar to the comic, I think Rick will hit Daryl telling him that's not how they handle things as cops.
Ultimately this arc will end with Pete accidently killing an innocent (the leader of ASZ's wife/husband) and the leader will give them to go ahead to murder Pete and Carol or Daryl will carry it out.
Rick will do damage control for Daryl's mess up and her husbands murder which is when Jessie will throw herself at Rick and they become love interests.
What do you all think?
