Fear The Walking Dead: Episode 211 “Pablo & Jessica”

This week’s installment of “Fear the Walking Dead” was filled to the brim with heart-pumping action. The show this week shifted back and forth between the storyline of Nick and that of Madison, Strand, and Alycia.

At Nick’s new camp, he reconciles with the medic over the risky deal he made with the local gangsters. Nick promised a steady flow of medicine, which the community cannot keep up with over time. So in an ingenious act Nick displays his past experience with drugs, combining them with other ingredients to make them last longer and to broaden their supply. The community is very appreciative of Nick’s contribution and he is rewarded with a home to stay in. Nick also forms a stronger bond with the woman he first met at the camp, and they learn more about each other as a love interest forms.

On the more exciting front of the show, Madison and Strand find Alycia and her new companions. They all spend some time weighing their options, trying to decide their next best move. Madison leads her group on a quest to find peace with the other survivors living in the hotel, who are very hostile towards them. She convinces them to help clear all of the walkers out of the hotel, so that both groups can co-exist in the hotel and maximize their resources.

In the finale of the episode, Madison herds all of the walkers like sheep out onto the pier of the seaside hotel. They all follow her to the end of the pier, and in a daring move, she jumps off into the ocean. All of the walkers blindly follow suit and descend one by one into the water, as Madison swims to the nearby rescue boat, driven by Alycia. All of the walkers drift away with the tide, and the mission is successful.

Sunday’s episode kept up the theme of epic and energetic action. Next week’s season episode will be sure to bring the same. Be sure to tune into AMC at 9 p.m.. next Sunday to catch the next installment of “Fear the Walking Dead.”
