Anything is possible in AMC's expansive and undying Walking Dead Universe. The franchise is on the precipice of its 15th anniversary and there's a lot to be said for how well it has managed to stand the test of time. What's even more impressive is that the original series was on the air for the vast majority of those years, running for 11 seasons between 2010 and 2022. Very impressive indeed.

It's also pretty remarkable that the saga continues to this day via the three spinoffs that debuted shortly after TWD's conclusion, with two of them still ongoing. It really does go to show you that anything is possible in the TWD Universe, and we're loving seeing that happen on both The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead: Dead City.

Now, a brand new trailer for the next episode of the former has revealed that Daryl Dixon himself will encounter a face in Barcelona that he didn't expect to see.

Paz finds Daryl in new trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 has been non-stop since it premiered back in September, but the gripping seven episode thrill-ride is preparing for its season finale. We're not quite there, yet, as the upcoming installment is the penultimate episode of the season, and judging by the trailer for it, it looks set to be a memorable one.

We're not just talking about the vivid scenery either, as it will see Daryl reunite with Paz, who seemingly tracks him down on his journey into Barcelona. And, as you can imagine, that is going to lead to a very interesting conversation. Watch the trailer below:

This episode, titled "Contrabando", wil see Daryl track El Alcazar to Barcelona in the hopes of rescuing Justina from the new villains of the series. However, it appears that he will be joined by Paz, who seemingly tracks him down on his travels.

Paz clearly didn't buy the story that Carol and Antonio told her in the previous episode about Daryl going to fix the boat and has thus set out to find him. The question is: Will she attempt to convince him to return to Solaz del Mar or will she join his quest to find and stop El Alcazar? If you have watched the trailer, you'll know that it's looking more like the latter, as she offers to be his tour guide around Barcelona.

Although Daryl and Paz aren't particularly close friends, there is clearly a respect between the two that allows them to get along well - especially when it comes to working together. He's not particularly fond of working with anyone that isn't his best friend Carol, but he and Paz have a common goal here. Remember, there is someone she cares a great deal for currently trapped by El Alcazar, too.

Throughout the course of the season, it has been revealed that Elena, the future Queen of Spain and wife of Guillermo Torres, is also Paz's longtime lover. The two were together years ago before Elena was selected by La Ofrenda to go to El Alcazar and be married. But their reconnection this season has clearly stirred up some old feelings for both. Can Paz successfully track down her love? We know that she and Justina are journeying in the same El Alcazar entourage of vehicles, so it's possible.

Although we love seeing Daryl and Carol tear up the scenery together, this equally badass pairing of Paz and Daryl promises to be one of the most thrilling partnerships the TWD Universe has seen in some time. We can't wait to see what they get up to when they make it to Barcelona.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 airs on AMC and streams on AMC+ on Sundays.
