Sunday’s episode of Fear the Walking Dead felt like previous instances — actually previous instances. It gave Morgan visions of late spouse Jenny as he sought to place down their son Duane in spite of everything these years. (Higher very late than by no means?) For sure, what with an entire hour needing to be crammed, issues didn’t go easily.
Early on in “King County,” Morgan found that he couldn’t enter his previous home and lay Duane to relaxation; too painful. Additional complicating issues was the arrival on the scene of Grace and Mo, the latter of whom turned out to be a toddler prodigy who’d added two and two off intel from Madison, guessed the place her father was going and despatched her mom a faux message in order that she might stow away on the journey.
Quickly, Dwight and Sherry confirmed up in full PADRE mode. They needed to take Morgan again in an effort to win from Shrike their very own and son Finch’s freedom. Naturally, the previous Saviors weren’t capable of accomplish their objective any extra simply than Morgan was his personal. He, Grace and Mo wound up hiding in the home the place he and Duane had laid low post-apocalypse. Solely then did Grace marvel, “What have we been doing these final seven years?” (Once more, higher very late than by no means?)
Upstairs, Morgan discovered the rifle that Rick Grimes gave him manner again within the first episode of The Strolling Useless. Morgan might use it to save lots of his household — if solely he didn’t preserve seeing a zombified Jenny the place common carrion stood. Though Dwight and Sherry threatened to burn Morgan & Co. out of the home, they didn’t. As an alternative, they requested to see Duane in order that they may show to PADRE one way or the other that he was the actual purpose that Nightingale had flown the coop.
Alas, the lifeless child was not the place his father anticipated him to be. Jenny’s lifeless-dead physique was there… however Duane’s ambulatory one? Nope. Finally, Dwight and Sherry helped Morgan escape the execution that Shrike ordered. What’s extra, the couple was capable of radio with Finch, who was now proper as rain, for lengthy sufficient to inform him to make use of the “chimney sweep” transfer on Shrike and make a beeline for a ship leaving in 20 minutes; they’d meet him on the opposite facet.
Earlier than let’s imagine, “Yay! Reunited!” Grace revealed to Morgan that she’d recognized for months that she was dying of radiation poisoning. (D’oh!) Determined to save lots of her and Mo, Morgan used Rick’s rifle to gun down walkers and save his daughter from a home hearth — and from Duane, whom he’d forgotten chaining within the attic. The next morning, because the gang ready to depart to assist Madison and Daniel reunite all of PADRE’s children with their mother and father, Grace was bitten by a walker. (Once more, d’oh! First radiation poisoning, then this?!?)
Extra determined than ever to save lots of his household, Morgan raced them to the dock the place Dwight and Sherry have been rendezvousing with Finch. June’s therapy had saved the boy; now, Morgan hoped, it could save Grace, too. Um, however would it not additionally remedy radiation poisoning? What do you suppose? Is Grace a goner? This being the ultimate season, she’s gotta be, proper?
