4. 1 x 04. The Apocalypse takes a Tea Time

4. 1 x 04.  The Apocalypse takes a Tea Time Fear the Walking Dead episode 1 x 04. "Not Fade Away." Quinn, Stephen, and Bruce discuss episode 4, and red tea, at Parish Press. After the tension of last week, the pace let up some; the apocalypse has taken a tea time as well.  This is the first episode of TWD or FTWD that we can remember not having an active walker. The focus therefore isn't on the walkers, but on the attempt of modern society to recover from any crisis. Nine days have passed since the army came in at the end of the last episode, and everybody is attempting to hold on to some normalcy. But the cracks in the facade are obvious. Nick is back to his IV drug use.  Alicia is inking her arm with the design her probably dead boyfriend Matt drew on her arm on their last date.  We wondered during the episode whether the hospital that the army took people to was real or not. By the end of the episode, we thought it was real, but were suspicious about what goes on there.  We also wondered about what has been happening in the zone around the fence.  Is the army just killing the walkers only, or everybody it encounters?
