Season 8
"Odessa"
Diane is searching for her daughter alongside the rest of Daniel's Resistance. She initially believes that Odessa Sanderson is her daughter; however, much to her dismay, she is proven wrong.
"All I See Is Red"
Alex, Hawk, Dove, and the other prefects are tasked by Shrike to clear out the shipyard of the undead. When the prefects opened the shipyard gates, they were overwhelmed by the dead and pushed back towards the water. The youngsters led the herd into the swamps, with Shrike planning to meet the prefects on the other side of the swamp. The prefects were tasked with searching for a particular undead by the name of Krennick to find very important coordinates for PADRE's expansion plans. The prefects soon become bogged down by the hundreds, if not thousands, of zombies making their way into the swamps, forcing the youngsters to seek refuge near a houseboat and shooting a flare to alert their superiors of their location. Hawk and the prefects begin to spread out in the swamp and take out the undead using their staffs before splitting up to cover more ground in the search for the coordinates.
Eventually, Alex, Hawk, Dove, and the rest of the prefects arrive as backup at a confrontation between PADRE and Daniel's Resistance, announcing that it doesn't matter how their parents see it, as none of them are going back with them. Dove orders them to drop their weapons, confident that the resistance fighters won't shoot and that they're stuck trying to live a life that has been dead for a long time. However, Daniel and the resistance fighters open fire, and the prefects shoot back, allowing Madison to escape the scene in a boat. Having overpowered Daniel's forces, Ben and the prefects have them kneeling on the ground, preparing to execute them. Mo arrives, and Dove claims that the resistance fighters had tried to stop them from fighting the walkers because they didn't have what it took. Telling the kids that this is what they trained for, Ben orders them to shoot the adults, but they all hesitate. Dove reiterates the order, but the prefects continue to refuse to act. Over Ben and Dove's continued attempts to get the prefects to kill the adults, some of whom are likely their own parents, Daniel tells everyone that "they won't do it. Making a child kill for the first time is harder than you think. Don't listen to them! When I was young, I was in the exact same position you're in right now. I wish someone would have stopped me then. You do this, it will haunt you for the rest of your life, you will never be able to back away from it." Despite Ben and Dove's best efforts, the kids listen to Daniel's advice, and they continue to hesitate to fire. Ben and Dove focus on a nervous Hawk, pressuring him to do it. Fortunately for all involved, Mo and Madison are able to diffuse the situation, handing over the coordinates to Ben, and in return, the prefects stand down, and no one is harmed. Shortly after, the prefects gather on a beach with the adults and listen as Madison announces that there are files on the island telling them where the kids came from and who their parents are. Alex shares a look with Diane, wondering if that is her mother. Some of their parents could still be out there, and Madison intends to find them, bring them here, and turn PADRE into what it was meant to be in the first place.
"Anton"
Alex is among the PADRE survivors led by Daniel, June, and Sherry as they rescue Madison and the captured residents from Troy's group at the Emissary Suites settlement. While the hotel residents are evacuated, Alex remains with her gun aimed at Troy's crew members until she and the others finally retreat.
"Keeping Her Alive"
Alex is among the survivors who ambush Troy's group at the Lowcountry Landing outpost. A shootout ensues between the two groups and leaves many dead, though Alex survives the attack. In the aftermath, she runs around attempting to help the injured and put down the undead.
"Fighting Like You"
Alex is among a group of PADRE residents in a convoy of pick-up trucks as they lead Troy's herd away and use their training to disperse the herd, eliminating the threat it poses to PADRE.
"The Road Ahead"
Alex is among the residents gathered inside the fort's walls as zombies overrun the island. She and the other survivors listen as Dwight shares the plan on how they will escape, instructing the fighters to clear through the undead with the noncombatants following behind. The residents make their way across the island and end up at the structure where combat training classes were held. As the undead surround the structure, Alex and the fighters attempt to hold them off as the others flee upstairs to safety. Eventually, Alex and all of the other PADRE survivors escape the island without any serious casualties after Madison shows up and leads the horde inside the fort and triggers an explosion, destroying it, though the settlement is ruined in the process. Several days later, Alex is among the survivors part of a caravan called MADRE until they stop at an intersection and split up into groups, using radios and maps to stay in touch with each other.
