Season 5[]
In the first half of the season, Alicia mainly sees herself as the warrior of the group, repeatedly throwing herself into danger against walkers despite admonishments from her friends about the risks that she's taking. Alicia has become an expert at fighting the undead, at one point using a broken plane propeller to fight off most of a massive herd all by herself. However, while facing a herd that includes a radioactive walker, Alicia's recklessness risks exposing her to potentially lethal levels of radiation. Alicia admits that she is struggling to find a purpose for herself with fighting the dead being all that she knows how to do.
With the discovery of a group of orphaned children, Alicia focuses on trying to save them from both the dangerous walkers in the area and the dangerous area that they live in. When the group repairs their crashed plane and the nearby power plant begins experiencing a second meltdown, Alicia locates the kids' hideout and attempts to convince them to leave, but the place quickly becomes overrun by a herd. Alicia fights off the walkers in order to buy the kids some time to escape, eventually convincing them to go. However, in the process Alicia is splashed by the blood of a radioactive walker, exposing her to potentially lethal levels of radiation. Grace, a worker from the power plant, decontaminates Alicia and tells her that she could be end up being fine, but they have no way of knowing for sure.
Following her encounter with the radioactive walker, Alicia becomes too afraid to kill walkers anymore and is left searching for a new purpose while Strand takes possession of Alicia's sharpened barrel shroud and works to protect her. Although Morgan tries to teach her Aikido, Alicia ultimately chooses to find her own thing, eventually focusing on a series of messages left on painted trees that they keep encountering. Alicia eventually meets the artist, a young man named Wes with a nihilistic view on the world. The encounter inspires Alicia to begin painting trees with her own message and she resumes killing walkers, although Alicia leaves her barrel shroud in Strand's possession. In turn, Alicia's actions inspire Wes to rescue a young woman named Janis who got trapped by walkers. The two become close friends, but a new hostile group led by a woman named Virginia captures Morgan and his friends and separates them, leaving Morgan for dead.
Season 7[]
In flashbacks, Alicia is unable to break out of the hotel bunker and saves a young man named Will from being killed the Doomsday Cult. On Teddy's orders, the cult looks to Alicia as their new leader, a role that she is reluctant to assume, and Arno returns Alicia's sharpened barrel shroud to her which had been taken from Alicia during her captivity at the Holding. Will informs Alicia of a possible sanctuary called PADRE and the two attempt to follow the zombified Senator Elias Vasquez out of the bunker through a drainage pipe. However, the detonation of the nukes partially collapses the pipe and causes Vasquez to bite Alicia in the left arm before leaving. Alicia amputates her own arm, making Will promise to kill her if she gets sick. When Alicia awakens after passing out, she is sick from the bite and furious at Will for not killing her. However, Alicia mysteriously doesn't die of the infection within the usual timeframe, although antibiotics don't help it. Will, who has fallen in love with Alicia, escapes from the bunker to find PADRE for her.
In the present, Will meets Victor Strand, now the tyrannical leader of the survivor settlement known as the Tower. Due to Will's possession of the St. Chirstopher medallion that Strand had given to Alicia, he takes an interest in the young man. The two return to the bunker, discovering several zombified cultists along the way, suggesting that something awful had occurred. However, the bunker is abandoned with a note for Will from Alicia reading simply "PADRE." Determined to keep Alicia and the good influence that she has on him away from the community that he's building, Strand throws Will to his death off of the Tower rooftop and he builds a walker moat around the Tower to keep anyone unwanted away from it.
Morgan later finds Alicia who is still suffering from her bite infection months later, and is searching for PADRE by attempting to find and follow Vasquez, recruiting Dwight and Sherry to her cause. The Stalkers, an antagonistic group roaming the area, turn out to be part of the Doomsday Cult that broke away from Alicia's leadership led by Arno following an unexplained event that resulted in a number of deaths during their search for PADRE, something that was supposedly Alicia's fault. Alicia's search for PADRE with Morgan only leads them to the Tower where Alicia considers settling along with her people. However, the discovery of a zombified Will and the fact that Strand had murdered him causes her to declare war against her former friend instead.
Soon after, a failed attempt to make peace with the Stalkers leads Alicia to the house of deaf musician Paul where she explains that she's being guided by fever dreams of the senator that she thinks are somehow messages from PADRE. Paul suggests that Alicia make PADRE for herself and sacrifices himself so that Alicia can escape when Arno and the Stalkers attack the house. Afterwards, Alicia departs again to find the bunker's radio transmitter to use to draw in other survivors.
By the time that Alicia eventually returns, Arno has been killed by Daniel Salazar and his people have chosen to join Morgan's group in their fight to take the Tower. However, Wes betrays the group at the same time and joins Strand. With Morgan leaving the area in order to protect baby Mo and the walker moat drawn away into the bunker, Alicia assumes leadership of the group and heads for the Tower, accepting an offer from Strand to negotiate first. However, this turns out to be a ploy on Strand's part as he soon after he reveals that his men have brought a herd of radioactive walkers from a nuclear blast crater to kill everyone outside, believing that he will have years to change Alicia's mind about him. During a scuffle in an elevator, Alicia reveals her illness and her rapidly worsening condition to Strand, causing him to finally relent. This causes Wes to turn on Strand and lead a mutiny, attempting to kill both Strand and Alicia. Working with Daniel, the two defeat Wes, only to have Strand kill Wes while Alicia is trying to talk him down during a standoff. Strand justifies this by insisting that Wes would never have been talked down and that Strand did it for the same reason that he built the Tower the way that he did: to save Alicia from having to do it. The two save their friends from the guards on top of the Tower, but Strand realizes that Alicia will never forgive him and decides to leave the beacon on to draw walkers. Alicia, who had been starting to trust her old friend again, tells him that killing Wes proves that he hasn't changed and overpowers him in a brief fight before using the Tower's antenna to call for other survivors to come. However, the fight between Strand and Alicia sets the Tower on fire and Alicia passes out from her worsening condition.
By the time that Alicia regains consciousness, the Tower has been abandoned and all of the survivors are preparing to leave Texas behind for good. The radioactive walkers will eventually get into the Tower and burn which will release the radiation that they're carrying and make the area completely uninhabitable. Repeatedly seeing a little girl urging her to go back to the Tower to save someone still there who can supposedly help her, Alicia -- who is close to death by this point -- decides to go back and her friends clear her a path through an underground tunnel. Alicia eventually discovers that the little girl that she's been seeing is actually a hallucination of her younger self who is urging her to save Strand who had stayed behind at the Tower to die. Alicia ultimately saves and forgives Strand, but after saying goodbye to all of her friends, decides to remain behind as everyone leaves on rafts, passing out as they depart.
Much to Alicia's surprise, instead of dying, she regains consciousness with her fever broken: Alicia ultimately beat the walker bite infection, although she is unable to understand how. In a final conversation with her younger self, Alicia decides to return to the Tower to find the people who would've heard her message and come in order to warn them of the danger. Donning a gas mask, Alicia uses the bullet that she was saving to kill herself on a walker and heads for the Tower.
Unaware that Alicia had ultimately beaten her illness, her friends all subsequently believe that she died soon after their departure with Morgan telling as much to Madison Clark whom he discovers to be still alive shortly after Alicia's presumed death.
Season 8[]
7 years later, Alicia is still presumed to be dead by her friends and family. Based on Alicia's ability to fight off the infection for so long, June Dorie attempts to come up with a cure using radiotherapy to no avail. Before leaving for Alexandria, Alicia is one of the people who Morgan Jones lost that he remembers fondly, having at last broken the cycle of loss surrounding him. Victor Strand, having taken Alicia's actions to heart, works to become the good man that Alicia believed that he could be. At the same time, an unknown survivor is revealed to be in possession of Alicia's unique prosthetic arm, hinting that something terrible had happened to her.
Troy Otto, having survived the events at the dam, later returns and claims that he had killed Alicia and left her to wander as a walker. As proof, Troy gives Madison Clark Alicia's prosthetic arm which her friends all recognize. Madison subsequently tries to find her daughter and lay her to rest, but Troy deliberately makes that difficult by cutting off the arms of walkers in the area to match Alicia's missing arm. Troy eventually reveals to Madison that Alicia had responded to his distress call after his wife Serena was bitten and saved Serena's life despite her bad history with Troy. Alicia had left her medallion with Troy and Serena's daughter Tracy and inspired Serena to help others as Alicia was doing. However, Serena died trying to help a survivor, causing Troy to blame Madison and Alicia for her death.
Strand meets a trio of women who were helped by Alicia and having been keeping her legacy alive. One of them, Ada, reveals that she and her father were one of the people to reply to Alicia's message to come to Strand's Tower. After leaving the beach, Alicia had ventured back into the Tower and drained fuel from the generators in the basement and used that to refuel Al's SWAT van, driving the survivors out of Texas in it. Alicia had then driven around helping various survivor groups in need.
Despite a chance to make peace with Troy, the furious Madison ultimately kills him in revenge for Alicia's murder by impaling Troy with Alicia's prosthetic arm. Before dying, Troy claims that Tracy is actually Alicia's daughter whom he had kidnapped from her. Troy's second-in-command Russell later reveals that Alicia might actually be still alive. She and Troy had badly injured each other in the fight with Alicia stabbing Troy with her arm which was how he got it. However, Troy had never actually seen Alicia die. Troy later sent Russell and some of his men back to check, but all they found was a trail of blood and a knife, suggesting that Alicia could've survived her wounds. Because of how angry Troy was, his men had simply told Troy what he had wanted to hear.
After the fall of PADRE, Alicia unexpectedly arrives on the island, having learned of the events and the fact that a woman named Madison was responsible for saving everyone. Mother and daughter are reunited for the first time in years and Alicia reveals that Troy had lied about Tracy -- who had saved Madison from the rubble -- being her daughter. After recovering from her injuries, Alicia had decided to lay low and let Troy think that she was dead. Alicia has also found Daniel Salazar's long-lost cat Skidmark on her journeys. Seeing that their friends have renamed the organization MADRE in honor of Madison's sacrifice, the two women decide to continue to allow everyone to think that they're dead, although Alicia discreetly returns Skidmark to Daniel and she and Madison allow Strand to catch a glimpse of them so that their old friend knows that they both made it. Joined by Tracy, Madison and Alicia decide to return to Los Angeles and to help the survivors there rebuild.
Trivia[]
- Her signature weapon is a balisong (butterfly knife) that she stole from Jack. The knife is a Bear and Son 113B. This later changes to a sharpened barrel shroud that Alicia gives to Sherry while the knife's ultimate fate is unknown. After losing her arm, Alicia abandons her barrel shroud for a set of blades attached to her prosthetic.
- Alicia is absent for most of Season 7, even before leaving the show.
- Alicia is the only known person in the entire Walking Dead universe, both TV and Comic, who has been bitten by a walker, got sick, and ultimately recovered from it and survived. While Alicia amputated her bitten arm, it was too late, and she spent most of Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead sick which is the course of several months. Normally, the infection kills in only a day or two at the most. Alicia's survival was unknown to her friends and family until Troy Otto revealed it in Season 8, 7 years later.
- June Dorie believes that what made Alicia different was that she was exposed to high levels of radiation in Season 5 after getting splashed by the blood of a radioactive walker. The radiation apparently weakened the infection enough to give Alicia's body the chance to fight it off. June's attempts to replicate this failed as June tried to kill the infection outright which required levels of radiation that were lethal in and of itself.
