Fear the Walking Dead, Season 2
Summary:
I missed last weekend because of the Rutgers graduation. So I am one week behind. I’m watching last weeks episode, Sicut Cervus now.
Sicut Cervus kicks off with some strange ass crap going on at a church before Strand’s SO shows up and people start weeping blood.
On the Abigail Strand and Louis try to talk their way past whomever is blocking their path south. Louis gets shot along with whomever was trying to block their path forward. Strand survives, but Louis is down for the count.
When we come back from commercial Strand and the rest of the team have made it to the church from the opening scenes. Team Nick is forced to pick up weapons and go to battle with what is leftover from the church ceremony, including a bunch of little kids. Nick doesn’t hold back.
Team Nick makes it through the church swarm and then to their final destination.
Everyone is asked to hand over their weapons when they get to “the house”. Surprisingly everyone hands over their weapons.
Strands SO didn’t make it through the church attack without being bit.
We then cut to Alicia confronting Chris about what happened at the church. Did Chris freeze when Madison was about to get bit or was he really watching to see what happened?
While Alicia and Chris fight Nick makes friends with Louis’s mother. Madison on the other hand doesn’t seem to like that fact that people see the best in Nick.
Back in the house Madison takes some food to Strand and his SO, Tom. When she knocks Tom asks Strand if they like her.
Tom knows he dying. He asks Madison if she will look after Strand when he dies. After Madison leaves Strand tells Thomas he can’t live without him.
Near bedtime Alicia tells Madison that Chris threatened her. Madison goes to talk to Travis but Travis doesn’t want to hear that his son might be having a problem.
As night descends on the house we get a glimpse of what might be wrong at “the house” as someone throws a dog down a chute. Daniel sees this and begins exploring the structure. He finds a kid talking to his mother – as well as a bunch of other walkers.
Daniels confront’s Louis’s mom, who appears to be the real boss at the house, just as she prepares two more poisoned wafers to take care of Strand & Thomas. She was apparently the reason the people at the church also died. They must have been planning on cleaning out her cellar, so she poisoned them instead.
Just as the episode is coming to an end Strand is left with the choice. The two wafers are there. Thomas’s mother tells him she proud of him for what he is planning on doing. Boy is she going to be pissed when she realizes Strand put a bullet in Thomas’s head.
The very last thing we hear is Strand’s shot killing Thomas’s walker, which wakes up Madison and Alicia just as Chris picks up a knife (after sneaking into their room).
Things I loved about this episode…
- Daniel immediately going out to stab the downed gunmen in their heads. Finally someone taking care of business.
- Nick taking the ax to the little girls head. No holds barred.
- Tom asking Madison to watch over Strand once he’s gone. It was sad and touching. Even the strongest of us need someone to watch over them from time to time.
Things that I didn’t like about this episode…
- Daniel pausing when he’s got the kid by the neck as he has a flash back to his “Butcher Days”. Come on, if ever there was a time it was okay to stab a kid, this was it.
- Everyone just hands over their weapons? I half expect it from most of them, but even Daniel?
