You insist how all the character development is as plain as day but we are arguing semantics like motvations on cookies placed on graves, lol. I WILL AGREE: The writers tried their damnedest to properly lead on Carol's change, but for the avg watcher I have to assume it failed considering how horrible the storytelling was with these hints.
