What exactly is Nanu Nanu?

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon hasn’t disappointed so far. At least, that’s what fans say. With the second episode finally here, it’s time to break it down to make sure you haven’t missed anything.

Isabelle’s secrets

Fans absolutely loved the episode's clever use of flashbacks to shed light on the early days of the outbreak in Paris. These flashbacks also give us a glimpse into Isabelle's past, revealing a side of her that's far from the holy nun we met in episode 1. Dancing, drugs, theft, and a mysterious lover named Quinn.

This Quinn guy is intriguing. We don’t know much about him, but the way Isabelle left him behind gave him a good motivation to be mad at her. It’s possible that he will later appear as a minor antagonist.

Lily

Lily, the name of Latin origin, symbolizes purity and innocence. Quite fitting for someone who might be carrying the second coming of Christ. It only supports the nuns’ belief in him.

In the flashbacks, we see the tragic birth of Laurent at St. Bernadette's Abbey. Could Laurent really be the cure for the zombie virus? Maybe because Lily was already bitten while giving birth, Laurent might be literally immune to walkers’ bites.

Lies Everywhere

This episode is riddled with deception. Isabelle lies about their donkey, Asterix, being safe. Daryl lies about being a priest and going to the castle for the medicine. Lou lies about the brother of one of the children.

And of course, the web of lies surrounding Laurent's true identity. This was definitely done intentionally, and now we're just waiting to see where it takes us.

Nanu Nanu

In the episodes, Daryl is taken to a room with all the children, and they all sit down to watch an old English sitcom. The series they are watching is Mork & Mindy that aired between 1978 and 1982.

Not only does it explain (at least a little) how the French-born kids speak English, it also serves an emotional purpose when the kids are bidding farewell to their deceased teacher by saying “Nanu Nanu.” In the series, this phrase was used to say goodbye.
