Fear The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 6: Red Dirt

07/02/2017 09:30 am EDT

On Sunday night, AMC will air the next new episode of Fear the Walking Dead.

Sunday's episode will be the sixth of Fear the Walking Dead's third season, titled, "Red Dirt". The official synopsis for the episode reads, "News of incoming danger spreads throughout the community as Madison struggles to keep everyone together. Nick grapples with a hard truth."

Red Dirt will follow the terrifying introduction of Walker and his menacing group on the outskirts of Broke Jaw Ranch. The group believes themselves to have a claim on the Ranch and its land while Jeremiah and the Otto family insists they have legal rights to it.

"She's the one who has the courage make these morally challenged decisions in order to do what's best for the baby, if you will," Madison actress Kim Dickens told ComicBook.com. "She's willing to make brutal decisions and execute them."

"Madison's priorities remain keeping her family safe but she's growing beyond that. Because I think, she's said it in Season 2, Madison, I don't want her to survive, I want her to start over. So Madison, you know, beyond keeping her family safe, she wants to rebuild her civilization and make a home for themselves. And that will begin to include other people as well."

The encounter with Walker is likely only the beginning of a feud brewing on Fear the Walking Dead. The new character insisted Troy and his family abandon Broke Jaw Ranch. Troy, of course, refused. This will likely lead to a costly showdown between the two groups.

"Am I going to defend it? Yeah," Jeremiah Otto actor Dayton Callie said. "It's like you own a house, you going to defend it? Yeah you're going to defend it. If you can if you're capable. I'm hoping we're capable. I got to get the other idiots to believe in it."

While fan-favorite characters Daniel Salazar and Victor Strand will be absent from Episode 3x06, the stakes at Broke Jaw Ranch will be raised in the aftermath of the first encounter with Travis' murderers.
