Duel is such an ominous name isn’t it? I can’t wait to see who the duelists are? Warren vs The Man? Warren vs Murphy? The Man vs Murphy? There are so many options!
The episode starts with Addy finding Lucy down by the docks.
Addy tries to get Lucy to flee before The Man returns, but the kid isn’t as old as she looks. Unfortunately for Addy, Lucy still acts like a spoiled brat. Unfortunately, this gives The Man time to return and put Addy through the ringer. Lucy flees, forcing The Man and Addy to both chase after her instead of fight each other.
Addy tries to reach Lucy, but gets trapped on a burning boat. The Man flees with the kid as Addy struggles to survive. Addy escapes just before the boat goes up in a ball of flames.
Addy thinks she’s lost the trail. Lucky for her Lucy is a bright kid. Lucy uses her Zombie control to have a dismembered arm point in her direction, telling Addy which way to go.
Even beat up and hurt, Addy still can’t help but smile as she leaves Doc a note, and some Z weed before heading back after The Man.
With a little bit of corner cutting Addy is able to get in front of The Man and doesn’t screw around with the Z Whacker this time. Instead opting to just put a few bullets in him.
Addy rescues Lucy, but for some reason doesn’t put a bullet in The Man’s head before driving away.
Safe for the moment, Addy stops to get Lucy some new clothing, and is forced to tell Lucy that her mother is dead. As expected, this doesn’t go over well with the kid. This leads to Lucy telling Addy that the Zombies still have thoughts, and remember things like their names. Addy thinks the kid is making it up, but isn’t quite sure.
The really bad news? All this lollygagging gives The Man the time he needs to catch back up and take Lucy from Addy. This leads to another face off between Addy and The Man, and quite honestly, Addy is outmatched.
Addy ends up with what looks like a broken or dislocated arm and The Man gets away again with Lucy.
Once in the car the stress makes Lucy age again. The Man now has to deal with a moody teenager.
Back at the river, Addy is up, but she’s in a lot of pain. She is forced to put her shoulder back in the socket with a brutal smack into a tree.
While Addy is suffering, Doc is having a much better time, hallucinating about Back to the Future due to the high quality Z Weed Addy left for him.
While Addy is suffering, The Man is on a search for chocolate for Lucy, not quite realizing why its such a priority until she freaks out. She thinks she’s dying when she starts to, well, menstruate.
Emboldened by her realization that The Man is afraid of Zombies, Lucy steals The Man’s truck and makes her way out to the forest road to pick up Addy. Lucy thinks she killed the man when she ran him over, but he’s one tough b*stard and is just holding onto the bottom.
Once again The Man has Lucy and Addy is not looking too good.
Duel ends with Addy stealing another truck and picking up Doc who is bicycling after her. He looks like he wants to cry when he sees how hurt she is but instead he gets in the truck so they can chase after Lucy together.
Duel Scoring
In the end, I totally guessed wrong. The Duel was between Addy and The Man, and she put up one hell of a fight. Duel scored a 90/100 and is Worth Your Time. It was non stop on the action front and had a ton of really good fight scenes. Even if Addy was getting her butt kicked in most of them.
