SPOILER ALERT: The following story reveals major plot points from tonight’s AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead episode.
Alycia Debnam-Carey said goodbye to AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead after 7 seasons on tonight’s episode titled “Amina.” Debnam-Carey, who played Alicia Clark, was part of the cast since the show’s inception.
Debnam-Carey’s exit follows the news of her casting in the upcoming Hulu series Saint X which was announced earlier this month. Deadline speculated at the time that her new gig would likely prevent her from continuing on the AMC series.
Alicia really went through some tough and emotional moments in her final appearance as she fought against turning into a zombie. The pull to the other side was intense but with the help of a mysterious little girl—who turns out to be her younger self via her subconscious—Alica survives the fever and lives another day fighting the good fight.
But before all that, she makes amends with Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) on the beach as he and the others escape.
“Victor, I didn’t just save you so you could live to do what I couldn’t. I did it because I love you too,” Alica tells Victor from the beach as he rows away on a boat.
In the final beats of the episode, Alicia sets off on a new mission all on her own after revealing she’s feeling better than she has in a long time.
“[I’m going] to find the people who heard my message and spend whatever time I have left making sure they have somewhere safe to go,” she tells her 8-year-old self.
With Alicia surviving the fever, it’s certainly possible she could return someday in the future. But for now, Debnam-Carey confirmed her exit from the series via social media.
