A behind-the-scenes photo from
Fear the Walking Dead takes a closer look at Old Man Morgan (Lennie James) and friends, who are aged up by 16 years when Grace (Karen David) dreams about a future that tragically will never come to pass.
Spoilers for Season 6 Episode 12, In Dreams. This 16-years-later future is one without Grace in this reality, she succumbed to radiation exposure and died giving birth to her healthy daughter Athena (Sahana Srinivasan) but Morgan s community is flourishing. Old enemies Daniel Salazar (Ruben Blades) and Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) have become
She was so sure, she made a decision that may have doomed her fellow survivors.
Imagined: While unconscious in labor, she imagined she d have a daughter who would change the world
Together: Although she was sure she would die, Grace knew the girl would bring everyone together
Decision: She was so sure, she made a decision that may have doomed her fellow survivors
With horror, she held her baby and realized she d completely misinterpreted her dream. What I saw… she said, destroyed. They weren t my last moments. They were hers.
Grace was dreaming from the moment the episode opened, locked deep in her unconscious after a car explosion.
The Walking Dead franchise really has a thing for aging its protagonists up in happy dream sequences, doesnât it? We saw âOld Man Rickâ (Andrew Lincoln) during
Deadâs Season 7 â and now, we have âOld Man Morganâ (Lennie James).
Unlike on the main show, though, this alternate version of Mo-Mo isnât a vision heâs having: instead, it belongs to his beau Grace (Karen David). Unconscious, injured, and in childbirth, her mind travels to an alternate reality where trees are pink, Morgan has white hair and a beard, and everyoneâs happy (thatâs how you
know itâs not really real). Oh, and she meets her daughter, Athena, there â but not all is as it seems, and the end of the episode provides one of the seasonâs biggest and most heartbreaking twists (and on Motherâs Day, no less!?). Hereâs what happens.

I’m warning you now that this episode of Fear the Walking Dead is a real tear-jerker and you’d better get those tissues ready well advance and this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t get overly emotional when it comes to characters in the zombie apocalypse.
I mean, AMC kind of killed my emotional response after what happened to Glenn (Steven Yeun) in The Walking Dead.
Still, this episode manages to punch you repeatedly right in the feels. And, even if you had some preconceived ideas on what was going to go down thanks to AMC releasing the first few minutes prior to Episode 12 aired, you might just want to hold onto your hat anyway.
