WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the two-hour season finale of Fox's The Passage, "Last Lesson."

The Passage has been one of Fox's most intriguing horror shows in quite some time. It cleverly works in drama and sci-fi themes, detailing the journey of a vampire brood led by the overlord called Dr. Tim Fanning (Jamie McShane), who's been studied by the U.S. government at a secret facility called Project Noah in Colorado.

Season 1's eight episodes focuses on scientists using Fanning's blood to create cures for various diseases, as well as a legion of blood-sucking super soldiers, with the show's protagonist, Amy (Saniyya Sidney), being the only one to maintain her humanity. In the season finale, "Last Lesson," Fanning and his apostles break free and, in the process, they turn America into an apocalyptic wasteland along the lines of AMC's The Walking Dead.

The Walking Dead is known for charting a dystopian course through America over nine seasons, initially starting with Rick Grimes and company searching the zombie-riddled world for a cure. Sadly, none existed, resulting in society clinging to glimmers of hope, surviving and praying someone develops a solution to eliminate the zombie threat that's overrun the country. Similarly, in the closing scenes of The Passage, that's the same precarious position Amy has been placed in when the show jumps forward in time 97 years to 2116.

After Fanning and his horde break out in 2019, within three months they spread the virus all over America. Each vampire heads back to his or her hometown and infects everyone else, leaving the country in dire straits. Amy, though, holes up in a cabin with her former handler and now-father-figure Brad (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and his ex-wife Lila (Emmanuelle Chriqui) in Wyoming. But  after Lila departs for the Center for Disease Control, Amy has no choice but to use the lone vial of cure she had to save Brad's life after a vampire attack. In the immediate wake of this incident, though, life goes to hell.

With the vampires spiraling out of control, Amy runs away, thinking she may not be able to curb the monster inside her around Brad. But things get even worse because the Global Health Federation (through the likes of Britain, China and Russia) has given the order to bomb the major cities of America. This leads to the time jump where we see the last remnants of mankind searching for a cure, including Amy, whose physiology as a vampire hybrid allowed her to survive the nuclear fallout. It's just like TWD Season 1, where Rick took his crew to Atlanta to see if the CDC had developed cures and vaccines, with Amy's new journey now mirroring this search.

We then come to find out that, just like in TWD, the CDC has been eradicated. Interestingly enough, while humanity was hiding out in various pockets of resistance in TWD, Amy is searching for a refugee camp called the Colony (which follows the source books from Justin Cronin). Clearly, The Passage is basically TWD, with Amy being the show's Rick, humanity's savior, but vampires instead of zombies. What's even more intriguing is that, apart from her Blade-like persona as a daywalker, Amy also has traits of TWD's Daryl, being a badass and rocking the bow and arrow Brad taught her to use.

And outside of the cure, just like how Rick's team is always searching for loved ones, Amy's doing the same. Lila took a dose of the cure earlier in the season when she was bitten, which makes her and Brad near immortal, but without the traits vampires exhibit. So, once they survived the bombing, with the ageing process slowed down, Amy knows there's a chance they could be alive and their blood can be cultivated to save the country.

She's also searching for fellow hybrids and Henry Ian Cusick's Dr. Jonas Lear, who managed to whip up a pseudo-cure using his knowledge of Amy's genetics. He injected it into his bloodstream, so Amy's search runs far and wide for scientists and lab rats like him who might hold humanity's salvation in their veins. Hopefully, a Season 2 will be greenlit to explore this, but The Passage doesn't have the ratings of TWD, so we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Written by Liz Heldens and executive produced by Ridley Scott and Matt Reeves, The Passage stars Saniyya Sidney as Amy Bellafonte, Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Brad Wolgast, Caroline Chikezie as Major Nichole Sykes, Vincent Piazza as Clark Richards, Jamie McShane as Tim Fanning, Brianne Howey as Shauna Babcock and Emmanuelle Chriqui as Dr. Lila Kyle. It airs Mondays on Fox at 9 p.m. ET.
