Satrazemis hinted that their reunion may not be amicable, suggesting that their time apart and differing views on survival could lead to conflict.
How Will Fear The Walking Dead End?
The focus of our attention has shifted considerably towards the original cast members since the inception of the show. Nevertheless, it is important to note that their perspectives on how to proceed and progress may not always align. Given the significant amount of time and differing experiences each individual has had, contrasting opinions have naturally emerged.The final episodes of Fear the Walking Dead highlight Madison and Strand's reunion, signaling a shift in the show's focus towards its original characters from the earlier seasons. In Season 8, episode 6, Morgan and his daughter Mo departed from the group in search of Rick Grimes. Since Season 4, Morgan had served as the series' protagonist, but his absence at the show's end provides an opportunity for characters like Madison and Strand to take center stage.
Strand was last seen in Fear the Walking Dead season 7, when his Tower was destroyed and his hostile group scattered across post-nuclear Texas. Due to Strand's role as an antagonist in the previous season, he and Madison may have differing opinions on turning what remains of PADRE into a safe place for survivors. This might lead Strand to align with Troy Otto, a returning villain from season 3.
Considering the strong alliance Madison and Strand had in the early part of the series, it would be unsatisfying for their story if they don't end up on the same side. However, the final six episodes have the potential to completely alter their dynamic, resulting in only one of them emerging victorious. With Fear the Walking Dead now available on Max and AMC+, viewers can refresh their memory on Madison and Strand's relationship before their ultimate conflict at the series' end.
