Summary
Troy's return in Fear the Walking Dead season 8 brings back a forgotten revenge story, with Daniel seeking revenge against Troy.
Daniel Salazar's thirst for personal vengeance against Troy is amplified by his belief that Troy is responsible for Ofelia's demise. In a surprising turn of events, it is possible that Daniel may be the one to ultimately seek retribution by putting an end to Troy's life, surpassing Madison as Troy's primary adversary.
Troy Otto, portrayed by Daniel Sharman, will make a comeback in the second half of Fear the Walking Dead season 3 as the ultimate antagonist. His return revives a forgotten revenge plot. Similar to Madison, Troy was believed to be deceased in The Walking Dead universe. After being struck twice with a hammer by Kim Dickens' character in the penultimate episode of Fear the Walking Dead season 3, Troy miraculously survived. Now, he is hell-bent on seeking revenge against Madison. In the midseason finale of Fear the Walking Dead, Troy was introduced as a mysterious villain who was eavesdropping on Madison's radio broadcast and had Alicia's fake arm in his possession, implying that he had either killed or fought with Alicia in his pursuit of vengeance against Madison.
Troy Is Responsible For Ofelia’s Death In Fear The Walking Dead Season 3
Notably, Troy won't be the sole person seeking payback in the final six episodes of Fear the Walking Dead. It is important to remember that Troy played a significant role in the tragic death of Ofelia, which deeply affected Daniel Salazar. In the third season, Troy deliberately led a zombie horde to his father's ranch, and during the ensuing battle, Ofelia was bitten. After discovering her fate, Daniel became suspicious of the circumstances surrounding the zombie attack and interrogated Nick to unravel the truth. Despite Nick's attempt to shift the blame onto the deceased Jake, Daniel saw through the lie.
Had the opportunity presented itself, it is highly likely that Daniel would have sought revenge against Troy for causing Ofelia's death. Unfortunately, Madison killed Troy before such a confrontation could take place, depriving Daniel of his chance for vengeance. However, with Troy now revealed to be alive, it seems inevitable that the events surrounding Ofelia's demise will resurface. When Troy returns to Fear the Walking Dead, Daniel will finally have the opportunity to exact his revenge, even after almost a decade has passed. Given Daniel's history, it is unlikely that he will forgive Troy for his role in getting Ofelia killed.
Will Daniel Kill Troy In Fear The Walking Dead Season 8?
In season 8 of Fear The Walking Dead, considering their personal history and whatever may have happened to Alicia, Madison becomes the most apparent adversary for Troy. However, Madison may not be the one to ultimately defeat him. Instead, there could be a surprising twist that ties back to Ofelia's death in season 3, where Daniel takes on the role of his killer. Daniel's highly efficient and methodical approach makes him more than capable of accomplishing this task. Coupled with his need for revenge, Daniel could prove to be even more dangerous than ever before in season 8 of Fear The Walking Dead.
