Fear The Walking Dead Season 2: 10 Things That Must Happen Next

7. Continue To Develop Madison And Strand's Bond

Although ostensibly opposed to each other at the outset of Season 2, with differing ideologies about how to survive and how to treat their fellow humans, Madison and Strand have grown closer over the course of the season so far.

Both are clearly authoritative, leadership figures, and they see that in each other and have a mutual respect, but it's gradually developing more into a genuine bond of friendship, which is an interesting turn of events given how cold Strand initially appeared, with speculation he could even become the villain.

Now that the two have started down that path, it'd be interesting for the show to continue pushing it, especially since they're cut adrift from Travis, Chris, and Nick, and will need to help ensure the safety and survival of Alicia and Ofelia. They're the two leaders, and that could make for an interesting dynamic; as opposed to one on The Walking Dead, a la Rick, you've got two people who trust and respect each other leading the same group, but with the potential for conflicts in how they approach certain situations, and it should be a good move for both characters to continue in that direction.
