Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast Quinn Warner, Stephen Payne, and Bruce R. Magee discuss this week's episode. Has our cast finally found a safe haven? At first, the village's in the church look like they're making do during the outbreak, but shortly after the service, they begin to bleed from their eyes and die. Thomas Abigail tries to intervene with the villagers, but he's interrupted by their sickness. We all liked this episode a lot. It had several interwoven subplots. Celia Flores, Thomas Abigail's housekeeper, is at the center of one. The villagers are about to attack her when they suddenly die, and it turns out that she poisoned the communion wafers. She also keeps walkers in the wine cellar and worships Santa Muerte. Another subplot centers on the death of Thomas Abigail, who had been bitten by a walker. Quinn notes that this is the first time Strand loses his cool, and it's clear that his feelings for Thomas are real. We wonder what he'll do next after the loss of his emotional center. Chris begins to spin out of control when he learns that the group doubts that he had to shoot the hostage last week. He escalates quickly, and we wonder whether he can recover. The relationship between Ofelia and her father Daniel continues to evolve. She was repelled by learning of his ruthlessness last season; this episode she sees him freeze & has to step in to save him. She's beginning to see his mortality and fragility, and her feeling toward him begin to thaw.
