I'd like to thank
the incredible fan base

of "Fear the Walking Dead" for
supporting us all these years.

Muchas gracias, and I
hope that you continue

to support us in the future as well.

Thank you to the fans for watching.

It's been fantastic to know
we're being supported by you.

So, thank you very much.

Thank you so much for all your love

and support for Grace and for me.

Thank you for making me feel welcome.

Thank you so much for your support,

TRACY: My dad said he got it
from my mom.

If what he said was true,
it belonged to Alicia.

Why are you giving it to me?

It doesn't work.

Didn't keep my dad safe.

GOLDBERG: Madison starts this episode

in the aftermath of k*lling Troy,

and she wants to take Tracy,

who she believes is now
the only family she's got left,

as far away from PADRE as possible.

She wants to teach her to veer away from

"no one's gone until they're
gone" mentality in her,

which is completely different
than the Madison

that we even saw
at the beginning of this season.

DICKENS: I think that's been
part of her struggle,

and her arc this season is
sort of learning how to be there

and where she wants to be
in that doctrine.

Not going with you, Victor.

If I go to the island,
I might not come back.

I need you, Madison.

I need my friend...

as I try to save my family.

You are my friend.

But I can't.

Good. Good. Cut. Cut.

DICKENS: Colman and I knew we
were going into that that day.

And we knew it would be
our last real scene together

as these characters

and that it was, in effect,
these characters,

it was their goodbye scene.

DOMINGO: You almost want
to put such grace around it.

And you don't want to think
about it too much more.

You want to let it be
and have a space for it.

So this is it?

That scene is going to bring

not only Madison and Strand
into the room

but Colman and Kim into the room

in eight seasons of
"Fear the Walking Dead" together

and being best friends
on camera and off camera.

DICKENS: Colman and I
love working together.

It's been a really magical
friendship that I made...

many friendships, of course...

but that one is really, um, powerful.

All I ever did was just
put them in danger.

- So you get it.
- Get what?

Why I have to do this.

[g*nsh*t]

CHAMBLISS: We think
this will be a moment

where Madison will be
kind of devastated,

but instead, Madison is glad

that Tracy has learned
this very dark lesson,

because she thinks that's what Tracy
will need to carry forward to live.

It's this deeply cynical,
broken aspect to Madison

that we haven't seen
in such a heightened way before.

CHAMBLISS: For us, it's a sad moment
because we've seen kind of

how far Madison has fallen
as a character,

that she actually believes that
with every fiber of her being.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

DICKENS: You know, we think
Madison is felled by that,

but, in the end, is protected
by an empty magazine

as well as the Saint
Christopher's medal.

Madison realizes she does need
to live for something better,

in a better way.

And the only way to sort of

regain the trust
of this grandchild, really,

is to show her how to live
and to be a better person

and to sacrifice herself again.

And she knew she was going to
have to do something major.

AMELIO: We kind of always
joke about this,

but, like, we always burn something down

or some big compound gets destroyed.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

CHAMBLISS: We had all of our characters
kind of at this crossroad

with the idea that they're all
going to these different corners

of the apocalyptic world.

They're going to spread the idea

of trying to build something better,

all of which was kind of
inspired by Madison's sacrifice.

And it was really this story of Madison

and what she could provide for everyone.

That almost makes the myth of Madison,

the legend of Madison more
important than the person.

GOLDBERG: Of course, what we then
realize in a very emotional way

is that that story did live on.

Madison not only lived,

but the story of her sacrifice lived on,

and it spread out in the world.

And that story found its way to Alicia.

Mom?

Alicia?

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

CHAMBLISS: It felt like Madison's
story and Alicia's story

would never really be complete
if these two characters

weren't able to come together
one more time.

We'd talked about a lot
of different ways to do it,

but, ultimately, we felt like

the way they should be
reunited, for Madison,

should almost feel like
it was this karmic reward

for her making the right decision,

for her ultimately standing up
for what she believed in.

You know I would have come looking
for you if I knew you were alive.

I would have come looking for you, too.

I never would have stopped.

GOLDBERG: It was just wonderful
to really bring those journeys

full circle and to promise a story

between them and Tracy that...
that will outlive "Fear".

DICKENS: Everybody join me in
thanking Alycia Debnam-Carey

for coming and being part
of our series finale.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much.

It's been amazing coming back.

I really, really appreciate
you all. Thank you.

I know when the...
the gentleman talked to me

about coming back to the show,

they sort of pitched me this
idea of reuniting with Alicia

in the end.

She and I both love this show so much

and both love the fan base,

and we want to do that for them,

so we were happy to do that.

I just want to say what
a journey this has been.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

CHAMBLISS: It's been
a lot of mixed emotions

saying goodbye to this show.

I don't think it's sunk in yet
that it's over.

DICKENS: I really love
playing the character.

I loved doing the show.
I'll miss it, for sure.

Our ride has been so special.

I feel grateful, I feel happy.
My heart is full.

GOLDBERG: We make
this show for the fans,

and you truly are
the best fans in the world.

To share these episodes with you

and to know that they are
connecting with you

is what makes it all worth it.

DOMINGO: It's kind of a beautiful gift
that, like, you leave this show

and you know that you have love
wherever you go.

You change people's lives.
You really do.

EVANGELISTA: I've had the most wonderful
experiences with the fans,

and I'm so grateful that I got
to meet a lot of them in person

- at different events and things.
- Yeah. Yeah.

But even just... just the love
and the support from you guys

is truly the reason the show has been on

- for as long as it has been.
- Yeah.

Just thank you for making the experience

as big and beautiful all around
as it was for me

between action and cut.

Thank you to the
"Fear the Walking Dead" fans.

Thank you.

Thank you guys so much.

That was it!

Victor's almost left the building.
