Season 3, Episode 8:
Children of Wrath
Directed by Jeremy Webb
The cold open shows how Ofelia got through her tough situation in the desert, being saved by Walker. Madison beats Ofelia and takes her to Black Hat where Walker reveals the poison was anthrax.
Ofelia later confronts Walker over making her a killer. The militia attack Black Hat and, at the cost of lives on both sides, Madison and Alicia steal Walker's trailer of spiritual relics.
Nick digs under the old cabin and learns Jeremiah and the founders killed three braves who were attacking their cattle, plus Walker's father. Madison offers the reliquary and Walker's father's remains but Walker refuses peace. Alicia is incensed at Troy's crimes and Madison reveals that she'd killed her abusive father to protect her mother.
Madison urges Jeremiah to kill himself, saying this will appease Walker and preserve Jeremiah's legacy; Nick kills him instead and they stage it as a suicide. Madison secretly delivers Jeremiah's head to Walker.
Meanwhile, Strand finds the Abigail run aground; he speaks on the radio with an alleged Russian cosmonaut who tells him his life is not over, then he sets fire to the Abigail and leaves with a pack of weapons and supplies.
