What can we anticipate from Black Summer Season 3?
The last moments of Black Summer Season 2 left us with loads of questions for season 3.
Wait, was that Lance!?
The final we noticed of Lance was on the finish of season 1 when he was operating away from a small horde of zombies, and his destiny was unknown. Arguably, nobody was anticipating to see him return within the second season, however we lastly discovered the unhappy and albeit tragic destiny of the character.
After stopping his automotive to permit a pregnant lady inside, she tricked him and unlocked the driving force’s aspect of the door. This allowed the person that Lance did not cease for, to get inside and shoot him within the neck. With his blood all around the dashboard, the pair trying to steal the automotive crashed, which then result in a dramatic chase between the now zombified Lance and his assassin.
It’s a disgrace we didn’t get to see extra of Lance, however to have the character return, we lastly be taught of his destiny is greater than appreciated.

Where is the aircraft taking Sun?
Of the entire survivors that made it to the airstrip, the one individual to make it onto the aircraft was Sun. After conversing with the pilot, it’s nonetheless unclear the place the pilot is touring to. We know that the pilot has to cease to refuel, and with the quantity of consideration that the aircraft brings, there’s no assure Sun and the pilot will get the possibility to take off once more.

Will Rose survive?
In their dramatic confrontation, Rose used the flare gun to destroy gas barrels behind Ray, however the ensuing explosion injured the pair. Rose’s injured leg left her unable to board the aircraft and was ready to die and be left behind as a way to see Anna board the aircraft, however her daughter opted towards boarding and made it again to her.
We had been left questioning what the destiny of Rose goes to be as Anna was capable of finding a automotive, however when she made it again to Rose it appeared like she was questioning what her subsequent transfer is.
Anna has proven that the zombie apocalypse has taken a dramatic toll on her psychological well being. While it’s extremely unlikely she would go away Rose to die, the very fact Anna witnessed her go away Spears to die clearly resonates along with her months later.

Will Mance be part of Rose and Anna?
Mance took on the small horde of zombies virtually single-handedly and got here out unscathed. With an injured Rose to take care of Anna may do with all the assistance she will get.
Will Ray be part of Rose and Anna?
Just like Rose, Ray is injured from the explosion and is arguably in a worse state than Rose after receiving a beatdown from a number of the different survivors.
If Ray lives and might change his perspective then he could be an unbelievable asset to the group. But if there’s an excessive amount of dangerous blood between himself and Rose then that would arrange the pair for even additional battle within the close to future.

The Ski-Lodge
With the aircraft not a viable possibility, probably the most logical place for the survivors to go to is the ski lodge. The lodge has sufficient snug beds for everybody, meals that may final for over a yr, gas, and loads of water.
The fundamental situation going through anybody staying on the lodge is it’s extremely arduous to defend. Due to the variety of entrances and home windows, it’s not arduous for anybody, together with zombies, to get inside.
The lodge is secluded sufficient that survivors and zombies will probably be few and much between. But, it’s nonetheless a large gamble.
