I think he went off with a head full of steam, and didn't think too hard about it.
Per Insider, showrunner Angela Kang had a brief explanation for why Daryl did what he did. Didn't he just get on Carol's ass about making those kind of half-cocked decisions? Instead, he tried to kill Alpha by himself, and ended up getting seriously hurt.
And then after he found it, he didn't return back to the others to tell them anything. Going against all conceivable thought, Daryl went out to try and find the Whisperers' cave entrance by himself, despite having previously had a small crew of survivors helping in the hunt for Magna and Connie. Everything from those first victims' goofy dialogue to the eerie music felt right out of an '80s slasher flick. He traversed from one house to the next, with the exterior camerawork capturing everything voyeuristically through the windows. With so many important residents outside Alexandria's walls, Beta had the perfect opportunity to wreak havoc. That bit wasn't so much Halloween as it was a wink to the zombie drama, but with the twist that the being rising up only LOOKED like a walker. But the episode later went full-tilt into embracing the horror whenever Beta's hand came through the faux grave that Dante set up during his time in the communities before his death. In the opening of "Stalker," Michael My.er.Beta began his underground journey in a pretty mysterious way that didn't go too hard on foreshadowing how things would pan out. Then we wanted to unleash him and wreak havoc on Alexandria. We figured that Dante was a spy, so he created a back door into Alexandria through a grave. It was a matter of figuring out the logistics of how does he get inside. But this came up as the right place in the story, where we have Beta making a very big move. I loved that idea, but it was hard to know where to slot it. My writer, Jim Barnes, who wrote the episode, had pitched this idea of Halloween in Alexandria with Beta.
