Good theory.

I also wondered if filthy woman was the person Clayton was talking about when he said the person that might be looking for him is the last person he wanted to see. Although if that is the case, it would be odd that he would refer to her as possibly caring or "looking for him".

The other thing to consider is that there is actually a network of trucks and caches spanning many cities and apparently even many states, and Clayton was just one driver. So it might be far fetched that she was doing this to target her ex husband, unless it is later revealed that Clayton was actually the leader of this truck network.

Anyway, yeah this possibility is on my radar as well, and with some of the plot oddities we've been seeing this season, it actually won't surprise me if its true, or some similar version of it is true. A bit cheesy that a domestic feud would extend into serial killing and sabotage 2.5 years into a apocalypse lol, but the fact that Luciana's mission this episode was simply a beer, instead of, say..... food, water, a first aid kit, and a beer if she happened across it, was arguably cheesy as well. Luciana's arc would have had more meaning for me if her mission was something that might actually save Clayton, was successful in this mission, and as a pleasant little feel-good moment, surprise, she ALSO found a beer.

But the mission based solely on the beer, just because he mentioned "man one more beer would taste good"? It didn't capture my heart. Plus i'm biased because I want underdogs like Clayton to actually live for awhile, not die 25 minutes after we meet them all the time.

 

Yes! The idea has crossed my mind that the Filthy Woman and Clayton have some sort of connection or past relationship. Clayton seemed to have been important enough to be included in the trailer and to have been a guest star despite one appearance!

 

Made me laugh, don't be so hard on yourself!

But meh. I really wouldn't care about this twist and I don't think it's "bad" enough. That rotting lady is presented as an evil creature, a vengeful wife would be underwhelming, to say the least.

 

I thought she might be his daughter. Definitely some connection there.

 

I wanted to see more of the Clayton character and was irritated that they were killing him off so I really wasn't emotionally invested in that scene either. We'd also need to see him a bit more, at least a couple of episodes, to give it impact.

Stephen Henderson who played Clayton is also a solid actor. He was excellent in a supporting role in the Denzel Washington film Fences a couple of years ago. I don't know what the actor's schedule is like but I would've liked to see at least a little more of Clayton.

 

LOL made me laugh too.

 

This is true but... If they do draw it out then we accuse them of leading us on endlessly.

More than anything I think the reveals are pretty meh...
I do agree there were a lot of build ups that basically fizzled, like what about ... what? What about what, did you say something? Oh, never mind.

Creates lots of these all throughout: ???????????

Dirtwoman's operating the van, I have no problems with that.
Folks like her don't go chasing down nemesies without knowing full and well their own side of the operation, she may have studied the van for hours or it may have only taken minutes to figure out too.
I did have a problem with her driving and firing at the same time thou.
I do not believe those weapons to be robo-matic but even if they were it still creates HUGE inaccuracy, in battle you should never fire a weapon in motion, she had plenty of opportunity to set up an ambush and then snipe them instead of this almost head-on confrontation.
Stupid as well, for a lone wolf to take on a pack of wild noobs.
She's easily outnumbered, maybe not outgunned but with numbers comes skill, she's outclassed and her only advantage is high level armament?
Dumb.

Would've been easier to let the pack go and keep the van.
