“Remember What They Took From You” picks up where the season 7 finale left off: with Morgan Jones (Lennie James) and Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) teaming up to rescue Morgan’s baby daughter Mo from PADRE’s island. Just minutes into the episode — spoiler alert!— Fear‘s eighth and final season jumps seven years into the future, placing its events concurrent with The Walking Dead‘s final season.
“At the end of season 7, Morgan and Madison made a pact, an unlikelyalliance, where they’re going to go into PADRE and get baby Moout. We are going to be picking up thosestories in season 8, and one of the things that we’re gonna be seeing alot of is life inside of PADRE,” showrunner Ian Goldberg explained at WonderCon. “It’s something we’ve been teasingsince season 7, and we really wanted to lean into: What does life looklike inside this place we’ve heard so much about?”
The answer: PADRE is spartan in nature, indoctrinating kidnapped children like eight-year-old Mo (Zoey Merchant) to put the community over their own parents. After watching the episode, read ComicBook‘s season premiere postmortem with Lennie James, our interview with James and Karen David breaking down that twist, and our premiere interview with Kim Dickens.
