Dwight and Sherry made their way into a cabin cellar just before the blast.
And then there was Strand and Morgan.
Morgan had his own dramatic last-minute change of heart.

Who’s right: Grace or Morgan?
What are we to make of the new villainous and loving it Victor Strand?
Was Dakota always supposed to die?

And how big a role will the CRM be playing in season 7?
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, let’s talk structure first.
How did you all come up with this finale structure with the title cards and everything?

We really wanted something that announced in each act, that this was the start of something new.
“, for the Dwight and Sherry story.
That one tickled us.
Let’s get into some of those stories.
GOLDBERG:Well, I think there were a few parts to it.
We started the season with Morgan and Isaac.
That baby was such a part of Morgan’s rebirth in that episode.
It all comes full circle.
What can say about how Morgan views the arrival of the baby and how Grace views it?
CHAMBLISS:Yeah, I think that look says it all.
They both are viewing the future of the baby in very different terms.
Morgan says to Grace, “… a gift from Athena.”
He’s viewing it in a very positive way.
How does Daniel put it together that Rollie is working with Teddy’s group?
How much can we read into that?
GOLDBERG:I think he’s headed in the right direction.
I would not say that he’s totally out of the woods.
Luciana is going to play a big part in that.
Daniel and company get on that CRM helicopter with Isabelle.
What can you say about where they are heading and where Althea is?
So how big a role will the CRM be playing in season 7?
GOLDBERG:They will play a role.
We always had her exit in mind.
We think it’s a pretty tragic ending.
Yeah, we’re sorry to see her go, but we loved what she did with the character.
What changes when that blast goes off?
When he comes into that tower, Strand is in a really self-loathing, bad place.
He is disgusted with himself.
He’s lost the respect of everyone.
It’s a real reinvention.
It’s a real beginning coming out of an ending for Victor Strand.
Coleman absolutely crushed that final speech that he has to Howard.
It gave us chills from the moment we saw it in dailies, until the cut.
It’s just extraordinary.
CHAMBLISS:He lost his voice doing it, too.
Are these folks all just radiation time bombs?
What is the long-term health impact of these explosions?
It led to a lot of interesting things that we learned.
There are actually ways that you could survive in a world like this.
You all are deep into filming on season 7.
So what else, at this point, can you say about next season?
That will continue into season 7.
We will continue to tell the show in that structure, and in that format.
Look forward to sharing it.
The new show is going to look very different, the walkers are going to look very different.
Everything is going to feel much more heightened, so we’re really excited about that.
