Ellie’s (​​Bella Ramsey) quest for revenge is leading her somewhere far more dangerous than she could’ve possibly imagined that danger gets a face: Jeffrey Wright’s Isaac Dixon Isaac gets a hell of an introduction via a prologue set in 2018—ten years before the events of this season he is visibly irritated by his reports using “voters” as a slur for civilians He tells the men riding with him in the armored vehicle that the term dates back to when the federal government took away the public’s right to vote in response to the threat of the cordyceps infection a linguistic reminder of authority’s slide into fascism It seems like Isaac has had enough of all that When his transport is stopped by a bunch of civilians he instructs all but one—the youngest of the soldiers the only one who doesn’t understand how “voters” became a slur—to stay in the truck Isaac subsequently shakes hands with a woman who came out to meet him and tells the boy beside him to make a choice: Join or die the version of it that Ellie is about to meet We are reintroduced to him mid-interrogation as he rhapsodizes about the difference between copper and cast iron cookware for retaining heat He’s doing this because he’s holding hostage a Seraphite whom he intends to burn until he learns the cult’s next target It’s a mean snapshot of how things are in Seattle: Both the WLF and the Seraphites are locked in a conflict that neither side can remember the origin of an endless cycle of violence that no one in charge seems interested in ending Isaac (also portrayed by Wright) gets a lot of backstory divulged in documents you can find throughout the game Players can piece together how he cofounded the WLF with four others who were dissidents fed up with FEDRA’s tyrannical rule over Seattle eventually expelling the government by force and consolidating Seattle's population in the SoundView Stadium (based on Lumen Field the real-life home of the Seattle Seahawks) He is controversial for his bloodthirsty warmongering over the Seraphites and his iron grip on Seattle’s population doesn’t seem that different from FEDRA’s overreach But Isaac has also undeniably kept the people of Seattle safe and that uncomfortable mix of fear and reassurance is what keeps him in power due to the structure of The Last of Us Part II none of this is going to become clear until the story swings over to Abby’s (Kaitlyn Dever) perspective further down the line her commanding officer—and it’s also through her eyes that viewers might have the opportunity to see how the regular non-militia citizens of Seattle are living under the WLF regime (The SoundView Stadium is an interesting counterpoint to the community in Jackson.) that the rest of it is focused on the budding romance between Ellie and Dina (Isabela Merced) Each finds something of some consequence: Dina gets some pregnancy tests to privately confirm a suspicion that she’s expecting thanks to her brief fling with Jesse (Young Mazino) sweetly playing “Take on Me” as Dina joins her for a private concert taught her how to play—which gives the close viewer a moment to consider the things about the pre-apocalyptic world that these young people are and aren’t familiar with knows about the Apollo space missions in great detail These details—and the aforementioned A-ha song—all come straight from the game and are great bits of heartbreaking contextualization they came of age in a world of horror and are choosing to wade further into it Stumbling across a WLF patrol massacred by Seraphites and Dina sees it—which leads to a fraught moment when they finally take shelter in an abandoned theater and Dina holds Ellie at gunpoint she doesn't believe it when Ellie tells her that she’s immune and spends the night twitchily watching over her and confesses her own secret: Not just that she’s pregnant but that seeing Ellie bitten made her realize she was going to lose the life Dina had imagined with her Ellie tries to convince Dina that she doesn’t need to come along on this journey of revenge It’s not clear yet if either of them realize how much bigger the WLF is compared to what they thought they’d be facing I'm gonna be a dad,” she jokes the night before.)

Ly added: “It is noteworthy that a Fox spokesperson made no reference to the company investigation of sexual harassment claims in announcing Mr. Dixon’s departure. Mr. Dixon has cooperated fully with the investigation and denies engaging in any inappropriate conduct.” Ly did not immediately respond to further questions from The Times. Fox Sports, reached by email Tuesday morning, would only confirm that Dixon is no longer employed by the company. “Charlie Dixon is no longer with FOX Sports,” the network stated. “There is no further comment at this time.” Shannon Sharpe is ‘electing to step aside temporarily’ from ESPN after a woman accused him of rape in a $50-million lawsuit that also mentions another woman’s defamation suit against him filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Jan Stewart-Binks accused Dixon of holding her against a wall “forcefully” pressing his body against hers and trying “to force his tongue into her mouth” following a work-related meeting in 2016 Soon after the incident, the lawsuit states, Stewart-Binks’ contract with Fox was not renewed. The lawsuit alleges sexual assault and sexual battery as causes of action against all defendants, which include Dixon, Fox Sports and its parent company, Fox Corp. Asked in January about the lawsuit and its allegations, Fox Sports emailed a statement: “These allegations are from over eight years ago. At the time, we promptly hired a third-party firm to investigate and addressed the matter based on their findings.” Dixon was also among the defendants in Faraji’s lawsuit, which was filed in L.A. County Superior Court in early January. In it, he is accused of “rubbing her body and grabbing her buttocks” without Faraji’s permission at a birthday party for another Fox Sports employee. The lawsuit alleges sexual battery and hostile work environment as causes of action against Dixon. Noushin Faraji has accused ex-Fox Sports host Skip Bayless of making unwanted sexual advances toward her, including offering the hairstylist $1.5 million to have sex with him, a lawsuit states.

That includes Fabian Schmidt, a New Hampshire man originally from Germany who was detained, possibly because of a decade-old misdemeanor charge for marijuana possession in California that was later dismissed And a backpacker from the United Kingdom was held for three weeks because of a mix-up with her visa says she was transported to the airport for deportation in shackles "She's not Hannibal Lecter," Burke told the BBC Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says it is simply enforcing immigration laws "Those who violate these laws will be processed and removed as required," CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham said in a statement to NPR "Green card holders who have not broken any U.S or failed to apply for a re-entry permit after a long period of travel have nothing to fear about entering and exiting the country." Border officers have always had a lot of discretion when deciding whom to allow into the country says former CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske although he questions whether this heightened scrutiny is the best use of resources "Some of these detentions don't seem appropriate," Kerlikowske said "Especially if it was a relatively minor charge Several countries in Europe have updated their travel guidance for the United States The German government warned that false information past criminal records or even minor visa overstays could lead to arrest It's hard to say how many green-card holders or travelers have been detained But immigration lawyers say there are likely more of these cases that haven't been reported Lewelyn Dixon's detention has devastated her family "Auntie Lynn has been the rock of our family," said Cristobal "She has been what you would call an older sister to us Dixon left the Philippines when she was 14 helping them build a new life in the United States She had to call her aunt's boss at the University of Washington to explain why Dixon wouldn't be able to make it in Dixon was transferred to the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma Her next hearing in immigration court is scheduled for July Dixon's criminal record would likely not be reason enough by itself for authorities to arrest her and try to revoke her green card inside the U.S. But the rules are different at ports of entry she would not be having the issues that she's having," Osorio said Osorio says he's advising all his clients who are lawful permanent residents to become naturalized U.S Some immigration lawyers are telling green-card holders not to leave the country especially if they have any criminal record in their past — no matter how minor Become an NPR sponsor “Ed has a brother who runs an outfit in Seattle A guy named Isaac.” Two episodes later we saw that Isaac’s outfit isn’t some small regional group like Eugene used to talk about In episode four we finally got to meet the man who runs it but what did we learn about the TV version of W.L.F.’s leader He’s as ruthless as the organization he defected from Before he joined the Washington Liberation Front Isaac Dixon was a FEDRA sergeant in Seattle’s Quarantine Zone In 2018 Isaac left FEDRA with an actual bang He blew up his own soldiers (minus one new recruit he took with him) when he formally joined W.L.F FEDRA mockingly referred to Seattle’s citizens as “voters” because the group had stripped people of its rights That tyranny was the apparent impetus for Isaac’s defection the present timeline on HBO’s The Last of Us had eliminated the organization and taken control of FEDRA’s weapons and supplies Ellie noticed that FEDRA soldiers turned on each other indicating some elected to join Isaac and W.L.F In episode three we learned what Isaac had accomplished patrols march through the city’s streets with tanks The Washington Liberation Front also controls Seattle’s hospitals and has outposts in strategic locations They also have their own enemy, Seraphites is a militaristic organization with hi-tech weapons led by a soft-spoken man who was once shy around woman a man with a fondness for cooking and Williams Sonoma cookware The primitivism Seraphites worship a dead prophet whom some believe was actually a god (Scars who think she was just a normal woman are considered “heretics” by fellow followers.) And at some point the two very different groups had a truce Who broke it and why is unknown and no longer matters “F***ed up” Seattle’s two biggest sects are at war despite defecting from and then defeating the oppressive FEDRA He tortured a captured Scar to find out information about the Seraphites’ next attack When he knew he would be unable to extract the info One guard outside the kitchen found the whole thing repulsive showing not every wolf soldier agrees with Isaac’s tactics But the very FEDRA soldier Isaac spared in 2018 was fully behind his leader And both kill their enemy’s children But only one side ever seems to join the other Isaac’s prisoner told him the Seraphites will win because it’s not about weapons or land It’s because every day a wolf joins the Scars Isaac disputed everything that ill-fated man said except for that but everything we’ve learned about the TV version of Jeffrey Wright’s character indicates the war between W.L.F and the Seraphites isn’t going to end anytime soon And it’s not going to get any less deadly Mikey Walsh is a staff writer at Nerdist.

247Sports' Tom Loy believed that the top contenders to land Dixon-Wyatt are Oregon and Ohio State The Trojans received a commitment from four-star wide receiver Luc Weaver on Saturday perhaps signaling that Dixon-Wyatt would plan to commit elsewhere but I do think it’s a lot of back and forth I’m going to give a slight edge to Oregon right now but really close with Ohio State," Loy said When Dixon-Wyatt revealed he would be committing on May 4 he spoke to On3 about each of his finalists the wide receiver cited USC's offense and freshman quarterback Husan Longstreet as a few of the many appealing factors Centennial Huskies Quarterback Husan Longstreet (4) catches the ball at Liberty High School on Sept / Diannie Chavez/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images"They can for sure be a contender in my recruitment They’re pretty good," Dixon-Wyatt told On3 about USC Dixon-Wyatt revealed his thoughts about Oregon coach Dan Lanning as well as having Mater Dei teammates playing for the Ducks "I’ve built a great relationship with the head coach Dan Lanning… I have former high school teammates on the team It feels like home every single time I go over there," Dixon-Wyatt told On3 securing the commitment of four-star Kayden Dixon-Wyatt Dixon-Wyatt (Oakland, Calif.) picked the Buckeyes over the Alabama Crimson Tide and Oregon Ducks, making him the fourth wide receiver commit of the 2026 class for Ohio State The Buckeyes' class at the position also includes five-star Chris Henry Jr The 2025 class also saw the Buckeyes land four wide receivers including another five-star in Quincy Porter who is set to start his freshman year this coming season Dixon-Wyatt's decision was a surprise, as the Ducks had been given a 91.2% shot of landing his commitment by On3 Ohio State Buckeyes recruits Kayden Dixon-Wyatt and Chris Henry Jr Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images But the 12th-ranked receiver in the 2026 class sent a clear message as to why he decided to commit to the Buckeyes "If you want to be an elite receiver, you go to Ohio State," Dixon-Wyatt said after announcing his commitment to the Buckeyes (h/t Eleven Warriors).  Dixon-Wyatt's opinion is well-founded, given Ohio State's recent track record of sending elite wide receivers to the NFL This year's draft saw Emeka Egbuka taken in the first round Jeremiah Smith is already the most feared wide receiver in college football after a stunning freshman season and Dixon-Wyatt trusts wide receivers coach Brian Hartline to put him on a similar trajectory The wideout pledged to Ohio State over finalists Oregon, Texas, Alabama, and USC. Dixon-Wyatt is considered the No. 12 wide receiver and the No. 86 overall prospect in the 2026 class, according to an average of the four national recruiting services. The wide receiver has 87 receptions for 1,260 yards while scoring 11 touchdowns in three seasons at Mater Dei while playing in 29 games, according to MaxPreps. His best season came in 2024, when he caught 50 passes for 693 yards and scored 5 touchdowns while averaging 13.9 yards per reception. Rivals ranks Dixon-Wyatt as the No. 5 wide receiver in the country and the No. 9 player in the state of California, the highest rankings the player has received to date. Dixon-Wyatt is rated as the No. 6 wide receiver and No. 10 prospect from California, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. The wide receiver, a teammate of fellow Ohio State pledge Chris Henry, Jr., is the 12th commitment to pick the Buckeyes in the cycle and the fourth player at his position. Henry remains Ohio State’s highest-ranked 2026 football recruit, named the No. 3 wide receiver and No. 20 overall prospect, according to the national recruiting rankings. Offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline was once again instrumental in Dixon-Wyatt’s recruitment, adding another important recruiting gain to his portfolio of dominant wideout commitments. Oregon and USC made a late push to sign the wide receiver, but the player elected to sign with Hartline and the Buckeyes’ recent run of developing prospects at the position. “If you want to be an elite receiver, you go to Ohio State,” the player said. Loy went on the 247Sports Ultimate College Football Show to further talk about each of their recruitments and where they stand I think people inside his family are kind of preferring the Bulldogs,” Loy said “I think that Jared’s gut feeling is leaning towards Oregon I’m going to lean towards Oregon because I think in the end Furthermore, Loy went on to say that this race is so close, that Curtis is going to be meeting with both offensive coordinators again this week; Mike Bobo with Georgia and Will Stein with Oregon. Curtis’s commitment date could get pushed back from Monday “Everybody around him says he doesn’t know for sure. He is going to meet with Mike Bobo at Georgia and Will Stein at Oregon potentially twice this week before he makes a decision,” Loy said “They have an decision made for an announcement on Monday afternoon There is still an outside shot it gets postponed because it is that close.” Loy also added that the Curtis decision could play a role in the decision for fellow class of 2026 five-star “There could be some interesting repercussions and how this plays out because I know we have been talking about Jackson Cantwell five-star offensive tackle…It wouldn’t shock me if ends up seeing where Jared decides to go,” Loy said “Those guys (Cantwell and Curtis) talk regularity One decision from Jared could play a big factor in Jackson MORE: Cleveland Browns Quarterback Dillon Gabriel More Talented Than Shedeur Sanders? Loy also sees Dixon-Wyatt committing to Oregon, although like Curtis, it is very close.  “I think when Kayden Dixon-Wyatt makes his decision, it will be Oregon or Ohio State. USC is going to battle over the next couple days. Kayden Dixon-Wyatt knows where he wants to go.

What viewers might know is that Isaac is a character that Wright himself actually played in 2020’s “The Last of Us Part II,” the video game that inspired the HBO series’ second season Isaac is an important figure within the franchise’s dystopian world and he will play a pivotal role in its story from here on out Isaac is the totalitarian leader of the Washington Liberation Front (W.L.F.) as viewers discover in “The Last of Us” Season 2 tortures Scars for information and demands complete loyalty to the W.L.F Video game players even learn through discoverable artifacts and items that Isaac coldly banished anyone from the city who was not willing to swear their allegiance to the W.L.F and a considerable force to be reckoned with especially now that Ellie and Dina have ventured into his domain while it is in the middle of an unending war HBO’s “The Last of Us” has already fleshed out Isaac more than its video game source material ever did and he seems primed to have a much larger presence in the show it does not seem likely that the HBO series will diverge too much from Isaac’s overall video game arc for those who want to know what happens to Isaac in “The Last of Us Part II,” keep reading Those who want to avoid any and all potential spoilers for future episodes By the time Ellie and Dina arrive in Seattle in “The Last of Us Part II,” Isaac has already decided that the only way for the W.L.F to actually win its war against the Scars is to plan a full-scale invasion and massacre of the faction’s island located off the coast of Seattle If he does not follow through with his plan Isaac believes the Scars will kill and convert too many W.L.F soldiers in the long run for his side to come out on top The seeds for this plan have already been planted in Isaac’s brutal interrogation scene in “The Last of Us” Season 2 while his eventual invasion initially looks like it will be successful in “The Last of Us Part II,” everything goes wrong when he discovers Abby When Abby refuses to rejoin him and let him kill Lev Abby and Lev escape the W.L.F.’s invasion while Isaac dies offscreen from his gunshot wound Isaac survives most of the Seattle events of “The Last of Us Part II,” though so it seems unlikely viewers of its HBO adaptation will be saying goodbye to Wright’s live-action Isaac anytime soon Just don’t be surprised when and if he eventually makes his exit in much the same manner as his video game counterpart “The Last of Us” airs Sundays on HBO and Max Powered by DIXON – Dixon city officials are moving forward with a $21 million project to update the aging infrastructure at the wastewater treatment plant “This is going to be a long-term project,” Public Works Director Matt Heckman said “It’s the revamping of all of the major systems at the wastewater treatment plant Although they’re still functioning properly at this moment they have reached a point of mechanical life where we need to update or repair these things before they start to give us fits.” At the April 21 Dixon City Council meeting the council approved a bid of $18.257 million from Vissering Construction Co The project is expected to take about 18 months to complete but next steps are dependent on the city being formally accepted into the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Water Pollution Control Loan Program which is how the city is paying for the upgrades the city has received preliminary approvals from the program and expects to get that formal approval within the next two months the entire project is eligible to be financed through the program and the principal forgiveness increased from $4.8 million to $6.3 million Principal forgiveness is a portion of the loan that is permanently removed; the borrower is not responsible for paying that amount It’s been a pretty good week for the city of Dixon,” Heckman said The remaining costs will be financed at 1.2% interest over 30 years with an annual payment of about $600,000 “which is exactly where we want to be,” Heckman said Dixon’s wastewater treatment plant “is over 20 years old A lot of things need to be upgraded,” Hughes said “We’ve been talking about these improvements for many years,” Heckman said “you could have a critical failure at the wastewater treatment plant “The Illinois EPA sets the standards for wastewater effluent We take meeting and exceeding those standards very seriously That’s super important to us,” Heckman said Other repairs to the plant also were completed in late 2024 another fractured – that needed to be fixed because they’re an important structural part of the system that moves the waste The council approved a bid of $439,905 for that project at its Nov Those screws needed to be replaced for a long time The issue was first brought to the city’s attention under former Comptroller Rita Crundwell and was expected to cost about $35,000 council member Dennis Considine said in a previous interview with Shaw Local Considine was elected to the council six months before Crundwell was escorted out of Dixon City Hall in handcuffs in April 2012 and convicted in 2013 of embezzling $53.7 million from the city While Dixon struggled to pay for infrastructure and other projects she used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle raising champion quarter horses The completion of that screw project wrapped up the list of backlogged projects Dixon City Manager Danny Langloss said Friday “we’re not catching up with anything from Crundwell” that he’s aware of Payton FelixPayton Felix reports on local news in the Sauk Valley for the Shaw Local News Network.

I have a great relationship with coach Hart (Brian Hartline) and coach Day. How they recruited me, stayed in contact and the message of how important I was to them on the visits was big.” Hartline’s track record and the history at Ohio State played a big role in this commitment as well.

As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse. Here's a look at the new teaser that went live (big thanks to TWDUniverse Promos for posting) followed by a post signaling that production on the third season had officially wrapped: NEW PROMO for #DarylDixon SEASON 3! pic.twitter.com/YRhXurfgva — TWDUniverse Promos (@TWDUPromos) May 5, 2025 A post shared by The Walking Dead (@amcthewalkingdead) Executive Producer Steve Squillante (who also served as Netflix's VP of physical production for local language originals between 2018-20) offered some insights into the production and what filming in Spain brings to the spinoff series with Variety – including a tease about a train sequence that will "blow people away." "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" Isn't an American Show Filming In a New Locale: Much like what we saw when filming was going down in France "95%-plus" of Season 3 was filmed in Spain with a production team that was "90%-plus" Spanish. "This is not an American show that's just relocated to France and then to Spain to shoot another version of an American show This is an American show that's come into the continent and has not only just embraced but also completely wrapped its arms around the history of the people inside the countries and regions that we're shooting," Squillante explained "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" Season 3 Has a Train Sequence That Will "Blow People Away": Squillante noted a number of the key locations that the spinoff series was able to film at or will be filming at (like Barcelona and Granada) – including some "incredible stuff" while visiting Aragón and filming in the ruins of Belchite a town devastated during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War But this was the part that caught our eye: apparently there is a train sequence that was filmed in Aragón that required "a secure fallow train line" that Squillante teased would "blow people away." What Makes Spain Perfect for "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" Season 3: "Spain has a really wonderful canvas that I don't believe viewers are quite as familiar with We're taking advantage of our story and our ability to move the way we are to present a little bit more of the whole picture of Spain," shared Squillante "Even though it's a post-apocalyptic world and people don't realize or the actual impressive cultural and environmental diversity in a country the size of Spain Spain presents very interesting parallels to California But a three-hour train ride from Madrid and you're in Galicia

it makes it a lot easier to go out there and throw strikes because the pressure is taken off you a little bit Dixon’s Jake Zepezauer gets the out at second as Rock Falls’ AJ Moore looks to break up the double play Tuesday
