4) La Colonia’s Leader Was Never Bitten
Luciana’s faith is shaken to the core when she discovers La Colina’s leader, Alejandro Nuñez, was never bitten. Long a key question on Fear the Walking Dead and the primary series was if there would be someone immune. A page out of the PlayStation title The Last of Us, where Ellie owned such a fate. However, it is not to be for Alejandro. One of his patients turns and bites Alejandro who soon turns ill as a result.
What starts off as a source of conflict in Nick and Luciana’s relationship, is revealed to indeed be the lie Nick had predicated. When Marco’s gang threatens to take La Colonia by force if they do not vacate, Nick has no choice but to shatter Luciana’s spirits. He tells Alejandro to tell Luciana the truth after being told to do what he does best, ‘run’ by her. Alejandro reveals he was never bitten by the infected originally but by a young boy, that he’s been lying the entire time.
However, he’s adamant about continuing to keep up faith regardless. In a surprise, Luciana tells Alejandro not to tell the community his truth. Rather, lie to the townspeople one more time but let them go. Which he does, he remains the only one left behind at La Colonia.
