C and L Trucking is now in Fear the Walking Dead’s rear view mirror!

Fear the Walking Dead kills off a villain in a surprising twist! Let’s take a look back at his reign as a villain and talk about that shocking moment in episode 13.
Fear the Walking Dead episode 13 was certainly a surprising episode in more ways than one, we had the heroic return of Wes, as well as a sneak peek into the past of a very kind Logan! Though it was very interesting to look back and what caused the switch in who Logan was before, I wish we would have gotten just a glimpse of Logan and our beloved Polar Bear as best friends on a mission before any of the people in our current storyline came into the picture.
From the time Logan takes back the factory he claims currently belongs to him we have many questions. While not all are answered just yet, we have a better idea of what started his change from a once kindhearted, helpful man to the antagonist we see in episode one of this season. This episode uncovers that while on a mission to help a woman at a truck stop he set up, he doesn’t get to her in time and has to hear her be devoured over his walkie.
The reason this happens to him is that he doesn’t have enough gas and doesn’t make it to the woman in time, as it wasn’t his route, it was Polar Bears. Who earlier that day had his truck stolen by Sarah and Wendell. So likely the last day he sees his partner Polar Bear alive, is the day he hears the woman devoured whom he can’t save, as well as the day he meets Virginias group.
So far we don’t know an incredible amount about this new group as we have only had a few minutes with them, but we know they do not tolerate anything non-essential to them. In a shocking twist, as Logan begins to lower his guard and realize he possibly wants to go back to the mission he and Polar Bear were trying to build or at least embrace it, Virginias group annihilates Logan and his entire squad out of seemingly nowhere.
Hopefully, the next few episodes paint a better picture of why Logan decided to work with Virginia and his group, or if he possibly had no choice. Since Logan showed his face and revealed he was taking the denim factory, something never quite made sense. When anything remotely big he needed to do happened, he always made sure the majority of our people were far away. He threatened our group but never killed anyone. Was he annoying? Absolutely. Deserving of a nice punch to the throat? Yes.
However as a villain he and his group never seemed to measure up, his group even seemed to turn on him if things didn’t go the way they wanted. Putting this timeline together this could be understandable if Logan has only been villainous since Sarah and Wendell entered our story, maybe his henchmen were assigned to him or just looking for a ticket into Virginias “promised land.”
However the owners of C&L Trucking are now both gone, their lives both coming to screeching halts. While the mission they were trying to do is still very much alive, they will have to sort out their differences in the Fear The Walking Dead character afterlife. While Logan not killing any of our folks and making sure the majority were always out of the way could have been coming from a place of goodness he still held onto, he still receives a big, GOOD RIDDANCE from me.
Hopefully, via our convoy group, we can gain some insight on what Logan might have been going through while under the rule of this new group and hopefully we do not receive a similar punishment if they deem our group unessential. For now, we just left to think about the legacy that Polar Bear and Logan gave our group.
Do you think Logan was just a good guy caught up in some really bad people? What do you think of Fear the Walking Dead’s new group? Tweet me your thoughts @mamadeadhead!
