And yes, Erickson confirmed, more deaths will come when the season resumes. Given Travis’s death at the beginning of this season, fans can be sure of only one thing: no one on Fear is really safe. And while Walker may have been placated by Madison delivering Jeremiah’s head to him, we’re guessing he’ll be back, too. Given the Clark matriarch’s declaration at the beginning of this season, it seems a battle for ultimate control over the ranch is coming.

As for Troy? Despite Nick’s effort to ingratiate himself with the more violent of the Otto boys, Troy seems most likely to be the one who eventually retaliates for Jeremiah’s death. Alicia has recognized that Jake, the nice Otto brother, could be won over to their side-especially after she slept with him, and he gave her a book of poetry. Their party line will be that Jeremiah committed suicide, but in the Walking Dead universe, lies like these tend to stay hidden for only so long-and Jeremiah’s two living sons, Jake and Troy, are likely to find out how their father really died.Ĭurrently, Madison is positioned to seize control of the ranch, now that its founders are gone and its militia is weak. The Clarks are in a strange position moving forward. It’ll lead to a new definition in his relationship with Madison.” It’s going to get challenging for him, dealing with the murder. Nick is not someone who can say, ‘I put down an evil man for the greater good.’ He feels things far more deeply than that. “What does for us is it redefines Nick and scrambles his psyche. “There was always a plan for Jeremiah to go away,” Erickson told T.H.R. And as Erickson told The Hollywood Reporter, it’s also characteristic for Nick to side with those Jeremiah has killed, rather than Jeremiah himself. So Nick’s decision to kill Jeremiah himself came, at least in part, from his desire to protect his mother from getting more blood on her hands. He and Alicia, along with Fear’s viewers, just learned their mother’s backstory: Madison killed her own abusive father. Nick’s decision to kill Jeremiah certainly didn’t come out of the blue. The usually gentle Clark kid is going to pay for this decision, promises showrunner Dave Erickson-and yes, as the violent season premiere indicated, this year will be a bloody one. But his killer may have come as a surprise: although Madison Clark intended to kill the patriarch of Broke Jaw Ranch, it was Nick who pulled the trigger in a surprise twist-using the very same gun Jeremiah had just gifted him. Jeremiah Otto, who had slowly revealed himself to be utterly villainous, is now dead. “These violent delights have violent ends.” That Shakespeare quote may have been appropriated most recently by a certain HBO drama-but on Sunday, Fear the Walking Dead made a case for violent delights of its own.
