Fear The Walking Dead season 5, episode 7 recap: Still Standing

Fear The Walking Dead, don’t you dare do this to us!

Fear The Walking Dead has me a bit worried at this point, but before I say anything at all, I’d like to put a disclaimer out there. If you haven’t watched the most recent episode, then please turn away now. I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone, so before I go on, just be warned of spoilers!

Okay, so let’s talk about these kids. Yay or nay? I’m more on the nay side right now but that can change as we get further into the season. I think my reason for nay is because of what happens later in the episode, but I’ll get to that. It seems as if Alicia isn’t ready to leave the motley group of kids alone and is eager to help them, even though they don’t want it.

As you’ll recall, in the previous episode of Fear The Walking Dead, Charlie and Strand found themselves literally stranded in the radioactive zone. Since Grace was busy trying to prevent a nuclear meltdown, it was up to Morgan to rescue them. He took Grace’s car per her instructions, saved them, and then left the car with Charlie and Strand as he ventured off to look for Grace.

Meanwhile, there was some unfortunate news regarding the plane’s fuel which had completely leaked out. But, of course, in Fear The Walking Dead, there is always fuel available, any type of fuel available. So it’s no shocker when Al says she knows exactly where to find aviation fuel.

Remember when I said I was a bit worried about something that happened in this week’s episode? Well, it turns out that Alicia made contact with a radioactive walker. Soo, does this mean that we’re going to lose her too? We’ve already lost her entire family! Please don’t do this to us Fear The Walking Dead! And while she may be slowly dying, Alicia did fight off walkers so the kiddos could make their escape.

Dwight finally learns that John hid Sherry’s final letter to him, and instead of being angered, he decides to help John get back to June. At least someone should get back to the love of their life, right?

As the episode came to an end, Alicia is still struggling out on her own and lies to Morgan when he checks in on her to make sure she’s okay. Well, while we’re trying to process what the heck is going to happen to Alicia, sounds from the nuclear reactor begin going off. Uh oh, I think things are about to get a bit crazier in an already crazy world.
