(Violence begets violence.)
But it wont necessarily be the end of Nick at least not immediately.
Thats because of the shows two timelines currently taking place.
Richard Foreman, Jr/AMC
And what will his death due to sister Alicia?
And the man who tried to stop him and show him a new way, Morgan?
We asked all that and more to showrunners Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss.
Richard Foreman, Jr/AMC
Read through both pages to get the full scoop.
The episode ends with Nick being shot and killed by cute little Charlie.
Why do that to poor Nick?
Richard Foreman, Jr/AMC
So it was really, for us, crafting an emotional exit for an incredible character that he played.
We found ourselves in an interesting position, as well.
It was just, as we said, crafting an emotional story for Nick.
We should also say that we love working with Frank.
We were really kind of honored that we were able to tell this story with him.
Thats where that genesis came from.
There is some history with flowers inThe Walking Dead, in particular, with The Grove.
Its funny because The Grove is one of our favorite episodes.
Yeah, its probably not a good idea to look at bluebonnets when youre in Texas now.
What is it that makes Nick so determined to kill Ennis from the El Camino?
The biggest one for us is Charlie.
Charlie has a complicated history.
With Nick and Charlie, there was a closeness, almost a brotherly relationship there.
He lost her to the Vultures.
Thats one component of it.
Those are two big reasons why Nick is so driven and why hes so violent toward him.
Lets play What If?
and say Charlie doesnt shoot Nick.
Thats really what all of Nicks questioning about, Youve killed before.
What do you mean when you say you lose people, you lose yourself?
This is going to be a season-long arc.
And then … BLAM!
We didnt want to send Nick off in a place where he was not at peace.
CHAMBLISS:Yeah, the title of the episode is Good Out Here.
Morgan has shown it to him by way ofArt of Peace.
Its right at that moment when hes found that peace and that good that he loses his life.
We dont know 100% whats driving it, but theyve now paid the price for what theyre doing.
Its really, Do we learn from what happened to Nick and perhaps change our ways?
When Al interviewed him, he talked about, I lose people and I lose myself.
That was what was keeping him away from people, was wanting to avoid that cycle repeating.
Now weve seen that come to fruition again.
What is that going to mean for him going forward?
I think youre going to see its going to impact Morgan in a really significant way.
You mentioned Althea there.
We know shes all obsessed with everyones backstories.
When are we going to learn a little bit about how she became so proficient in this world?
GOLDBERG:Oh, a very good question.
We see she has eight tapes marked The Bog.
What happened in the bog?
Is that significant, or am I reading too much into a tiny detail?
CHAMBLISS:I will say that is probably something that is important.
Were going to see new details of our characters stories through Als perspective that we have not yet revealed.
CHAMBLISS:Oh, and there may be a water park.
