Fear the Walking Dead: Did Madison Just Go Full Antihero?

Madison has always been willing to do whatever it takes to protect her family, but this week she went further than ever into total immorality to do so, lying to the residents of Broke Jaw Ranch about who killed the ranch's defectors in order to keep them in line, giving a race-baiting speech to them about how it was Walker (Michael Greyeyes) and his tribe and how they have to stay together on the ranch to stay safe.

[...] she manipulated the real killer, Troy (Daniel Sharman), into asserting himself as a leader, which will probably in the long run put her in a position to take over the ranch, because Troy is too unstable to lead.

Last week, I wrote about how it seemed unlikely that Madison would help start a race war against a Native American tribe because that would be beyond the pale, but it's looking like that's what's going to happen.

Alicia still has a moral compass, and she's willing to try to talk it out before more violence erupts.
