Fear TWD's Explanation For Alicia & Madison Not Reuniting Is Absurd
Fear The Walking Dead lowers expectations for a Madison & Alicia reunion… but can't quite justify why. After playing Madison Clark since 2015, Kim Dickens exited Fear The Walking Dead in season 4, her character assumed dead after becoming trapped inside a burning, zombie-infested baseball stadium. Madison's two children, Nick and Alicia, were left wholeheartedly convinced their mother died. Lennie James' Morgan Jones (seriously, how good is Morgan at bumping into people he knows?) discovers otherwise in Fear The Walking Dead season 7's finale. He encounters Madison working for PADRE in Louisiana, and while the pair get off on the wrong foot initially, they end the episode as post-apocalypse pals.
Madison explains to Morgan why she didn't try reuniting with Nick and Alicia straight away. PADRE offered to help Madison find her kids if she «found» some kids for them. She reluctantly agreed, but each and every kidnapping nudged Madison deeper into PADRE's anti-family philosophy. A combination of this new outlook and a guilty conscience convinced Madison that Nick and Alicia were better off without her, but she continued serving PADRE regardless, just in case they hunted her children down as a punishment. This works well enough as a justification for Madison's absence between Fear The Walking Dead seasons 4-7.
