It's sadly obvious that they're setting Father Gabriel up to die come the end of the season.

Beta not getting killed was that classic horror movie trope; the psycho is KO on the floor but no one shoots him or hits him with a shovel or whatever to make sure he's really dead.

With Daryl and Alpha though, Alpha was also injured and bleeding out at the time and couldn't get across the building to where he was to finish him off. When she did eventually try to, she passed out (presumably from blood loss). Basically if Lydia hadn't patched Daryl up, and other Whisperers hadn't found Alpha and patched her up, they would both have died there on the floor... neither could really do anything at that point.

My real question is... how did tiny Lydia manage to move 200-pound Daryl out of there and off into the forest?? He would have been a completely dead weight... and while he was quite skinny back in S1, he's been packing on muscle since then! I think *I* would struggle to move him and I'm a 6'2 bloke . Lydia just lobs him over her shoulder and strolls out?
