A fresh preview for the ninth episode, titled "Sanctuary," of season 8 of Fear the Walking Dead unveils Dwight and Sherry's comeback as they journey to a familiar setting from the original series. After the loss of their son Finch, the couple's future together was uncertain. Till now, they have not been involved in Madison's ongoing conflict with Troy over PADRE.
Now, The Walking Dead (via WotNot) has released a trailer for the newest episode of Fear the Walking Dead season 8, teasing Dwight and Sherry's return.
What The Sanctuary's Return Means For Fear The Walking Dead Season 8
reveals the duo's comeback to the Sanctuary, Negan's Saviors' stronghold from The Walking Dead seasons 7 and 8. Amidst Dwight's battle with a faction of survivors, Sherry's life hangs perilously in the balance.
After Negan's defeat and the disbandment of the Saviors in The Walking Dead, the Sanctuary has remained vacant for nearly eight years in the franchise's timeline. With the return of Dwight and Sherry, it seems they are seeking a new life closer to their original home in Virginia. As a result, Troy's survival in Fear the Walking Dead may not hold significant importance in the conclusion of their individual narratives.
The couple is in great jeopardy, with the possibility of one of them losing their life as the spinoff reaches its conclusion. However, given the challenges they have faced across two separate series, the show might grant them a deserving happy ending. The hazardous obstacles they encounter upon their return to the Sanctuary after a prolonged absence could bring them back together following Finch's demise.
The possibility of Fear the Walking Dead linking to another spinoff arises when Dwight and Sherry decide to establish a permanent home in Virginia once more. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon hinted at the presence of a familiar character who had integrated into the existing communities after Daryl's departure in search of Rick. This character, possibly Dwight, has been warmly embraced back into the thriving world that evolved during his absence. Whatever unfolds, it is evident that the upcoming episode will center around Dwight's expedition alongside his wife, potentially providing a satisfying conclusion to their extensive voyage.
