I mean, we assume it was “certain,” although my disbelief was definitely stoked whenever new character Jake Otto (Sam Underwood) convinced Alicia that there was no way Travis could have survived.
Kim Dickens sounded pretty convincing during our talk, however, so I’ll remain in the Travis Is Dead camp for now.
There wasn’t much to do while in midair and under attack from an unknown source, so a Totally-In-Shock Travis opened the helicopter door and took one last crazy-eyed look around before falling backwards to his certain death.
It was one hell of a crazy scene to kick off Season 3’s second installment, in which Travis and Alicia’s helicopter took gunfire upon flying back to the show’s newest location, with Travis taking a lethal bullet to the side of the neck.
