Victor Strand has returned to Fear the Walking Dead and his reunion with Madison includes important references to her family. The scene at the Emissary Suites hotel, where Strand is staying as Anton, is reminiscent of their time at the Rosarito Beach Hotel. The care Strand shows for the birds at the hotel connects him to Madison's children, Alicia and Nick. Additionally, the book titles seen in the scene further symbolize the significance of these characters in the final season.
