AMC has released a clip from the second episode of Fear the Walking Dead, and it spells danger for one particular character.
The first clip from Fear the Walking Dead episode 2 strongly hints that a character we saw a few times in Sunday night’s premiere will be attacked by a walker. And that walker has brought the character to death’s door.
Spoiler warning!
In the scene, Madison and Tobias are grabbing supplies from the school kitchen when they come across Principal Artie. As viewers can see from his slow movements and that blood on his back, there’s a good chance Artie has been bit by a recently-minted member of the undead.
In Fear the Walking Dead’s season premiere, Tobias was one of the first people to realize that the there was real danger afoot. Seeing his own principal come down with the bizarre illness in episode 2 will do nothing but further prove his suspicions.
Don’t get too close to him, Madison and Tobias! And if you do, make sure Tobias is holding on to that knife he’s been trying to smuggle into school.
To play devil’s advocate, Madison seems to be a little unsure if the person she’s just spotted actually is Artie. From our angle we only saw the back of the person… so maybe we’re being misled?
The deaths in Fear the Walking Dead will arguably come at a higher cost than they do in The Walking Dead. Everyone in the companion series has known each other for years for one reason or another (family, work, etc.), and seeing friends die will be absolutely heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, we have to assume that the deaths will be coming at a fast pace in season 1. There is so much confusion during this initial outbreak that life-altering mistakes will be made.
Fear the Walking Dead 1×02 premieres Sunday, August 30 at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on AMC. Visit this page for our recap and thoughts on last night’s series premiere.
