nme.com:

Fear The Walking Dead has officially come to an end after eight seasons.The Walking Dead spin-off originally began in 2015 and served as a prequel, led by a dysfunctional family featuring Madison Clark (Kim Dickens), her daughter Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and her son Nick (Frank Dillane).In later seasons, the show featured crossovers with the main show, with characters like Morgan Jones (Lennie James) and Dwight (Austin Amelio) making appearances.Fear The Walking Dead’s final two episodes, titled Fighting Like You and The Road Ahead, aired November 19 in the US and saw numerous deaths and surprise returns.In the two-part finale, there were two key deaths.

After attempting to seek revenge against Madison and Troy (Daniel Sharman) by luring them to a creek full of walkers, Crane’s (Daniel Rashid) plan backfires as Madison draws more walkers to the creek, who eventually overwhelm and devour Crane.The second death is Troy, who is stabbed by Madison in a shock twist despite the pair entering a truce.

In his final moments, Troy claims Tracy (Antonella Rose), the young girl he had raised and who eventually betrayed PADRE, is actually Alicia’s daughter, making her Madison’s granddaughter.In her last bid for redemption, Madison appears to sacrifice herself in order to save the community at PADRE from the impending walker horde.

In a scene echoing her sacrifice at the baseball stadium in season four, Madison blows up the walker herd by leading them to PADRE’s storage of fuel.While she appeared to have been killed in the explosion (just like in season four), Madison’s breathing body is later discovered by Tracy in the rubble.Later in the episode, Madison regains consciousness with Tracy by her side, only to be greeted by her.
