They did horribly. I used to like Daryl as The Badass Wild Card, but as of now, I beginning to view him as just a useless dumb impulsive redneck. Getting Glenn killed was bad enough, but now he has freed the Saviors and a lot more people are going to die because of his reckless impulsivity. The amount of self-discipline he lacks makes him seem like an immature manchild.
The amount of stupidity from characters in this show, just to drive the plot forward, is really getting ridiculous. Like the bit in the recent episode where Michonne and Rosita totally had the drop on those two Saviours with the speaker truck, but managed to turn it into a royal clusterf***, purely so that they could have that moment with Daryl. Or Carl and a guy who has apparently killed hundreds of walkers nearly getting overrun by a handful.
It's like all the characters have a competency switch that just gets flipped on and off as the story demands it.

Don't forget his impulsiveness to go against Rick's plan also costing them some heavy weapons.
This episode felt different. The directing, the cinematography, the dialogue, even the music felt... better. Sort of like season 1. There was some much needed humour from Eugene and the Scavengers. There were only two gay little speeches from Rosita and Michonne. The f*cking soft piano that tries to manipulate you into "caring" about said gay little speeches was gone.
Probably one of the best made episodes in many seasons.
Cant wait to see Maggie's plan going forward. I've been waiting for them to threaten Negan with hostages. Tara got the Rick/Michonne death glare, and Dwight is now officially Team Rick. I wonder whether Negan will kill Ezekiel and mount his head on a fence in reference to his comic book death, although I hope he is rescued.
