Fear The Walking Dead: 10 predictions for season 3B

7. The Clarks Will Start To Fall Apart

Madison claims that everything she has done is to keep her family together. She says that nothing matters more than keeping her family safe. To an extent that’s probably true. She put the entire ranch at risk when she manipulated Troy into gathering the militia to go get Alicia back from Walker’s compound. But Alicia and Nick are not on board with Madison’s plans for the ranch. At least, what they know of her plan. Madison is holding her cards close to the chest and not revealing too much of her plan even to her kids.

Madison seems fixated on making Broke Jaw Ranch work for the family because Travis died trying to get them to the ranch. But her fixation is going to put the family even more at risk. The ranch isn’t a safe haven. Now that Walker and his people are moving in it’s going to be a powder keg ready to ignite.

It seems like Madison would almost welcome a purge of the ranch. All she wants is a safe place for her family, and if that means sacrificing others she has no problem with that. But now that Alicia is with Jake she is going to stand behind Jake’s view of the ranch as a utopia for the new civilization.

And Nick surprised everyone when he killed Jeremiah Otto, even Madison. That doesn’t mean he’s going to go along with her plan without question. And Nick may see Alicia’s loyalty to Jake Otto as a betrayal. Nick originally didn’t want to stay at the ranch, but he seems to want to stay with his family now. He let Luciana leave so that he wouldn’t have to choose between leaving with her or staying with his family. But the family he stayed for is going to be facing a lot of internal conflict in season 3B.
