What happened to Morgan after he was left to be a tasty treat for walkers?

Fear the Walking Dead returns with answers.

The well of potential in this singular character has run dry.

He was left alone with a fresh gunshot wound as a herd of walkers closed in on him.

Might this allow a new direction for this festering series to reveal itself?

For better or, probably, mostly worse, we’ll find out.

So, yes, Morgan survived that fated night.

you oughta do the same.

You still have things left to do."

(That message was Morgan telling everyone “to live, just live.")

When season 6 begins, it’s been about five weeks since that happened.

He turned an empty water tower into a home and ventured out day after day to get supplies.

But whoever tended to his wound didn’t heal him completely.

The bullet has been stuck in his chest this whole time.

The two have to team up when a man named Emile arrives on the scene.

Virginia tasks Emile with finding Morgan, whether he’s dead or alive.

Rufus leads him to the shop in which Isaac and Morgan are resting.

But the entrance to their base is swarmed with walkers.

(That’s not being snarky.

That’s his argument to Isaac.)

Morgan was able to non-fatally shoot Emile in the arm while he and Isaac fled by stealing his truck.

Isaac talks him out of it, promising to help Morgan’s family if he helps save his.

Isaac remembers fishing once at a lake, but a hole in the dam has since dried it up.

But sounds from some broken machine have been leading walkers towards the entrance.

However, Morgan succumbs to the pain from his wound and gives himself away to the herd.

They deliver the supplies to Rachel, but Emile is still close by.

Morgan passes out after the battle and comes to the next morning.

He finds Rachel swaddling her new daughter, whom they named Morgan.

Isaac took the bullet out of Morgan in the night before succumbing to his wounds and dying.

But first, Morgan decides to leave a present for Virginia.

She believes this to contain Morgan’s head but finds Emile’s instead.

“Morgan Jones is dead,” he says.

“You are dealing with somebody else now.”

Morgan has been watching them through binoculars from a distance.

He’s mounted on a horse and wearing his own cowboy hat before riding off.

So, these two other characters, both guys.

They are, however, related to the key somehow.

Hey, maybe a McGuffin will help move things along on this show again.
