I like the arc Carol has been on from battered wife to warrior princess. As for the believability of it, I have to believe if she didn't adapt and change she would be dead...as would anybody.

It's not hard to imagine, for me anyways, that a battered woman could be very adaptable. Being used to becoming whatever she needed to be to avoid beatings or misguide well intentioned people.

The short and sweet of it is Morgan got in her head and now her conscience is getting to her. But she also proved her point to Morgan, at some point you'll have to choose; do I save someone I love by killing someone else.

And let's not forget Maggie's pregnancy as a major catalyst of Carol's crisis.
