Fear the Walking Dead's latest episode in season 8 reveals that Madison Clark is not the morally upright hero the show portrays her to be. Despite being the protagonist for several seasons, Madison's true nature is exposed when the character Troy returns. Troy was previously killed by Madison, emphasizing her dark side and contrasting her with The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes, who remained a respected leader. Madison's legacy is not as golden as the show tries to portray.
