As is customary in the zombie apocalypse, situations appear to go from bad to worse pretty quickly. It's no different in AMC's "Fear The Walking Dead," where one problem is solved just as another one pops up. As of now, the main characters' biggest problem is likely each other.
Madison (Kim Dickens) has taken on a leadership role in an attempt to find some common ground with Strand (Colman Domingo), but the alliance is a shaky one. Strand isn't telling Madison and the gang everything he knows, and there could be some surprises when they reach Mexico.
If you're the type of person who doesn't like surprises, then we've got the perfect solution for you. Courtesy of "Fear: The Spoiling Dead Fans," we have the inside scoop on this weekend's episode, titled "Blood in the Streets." Take a look.
To recap the most important bits:
-Strand has been seen talking on the phone to an unknown party, furthering the air of "I'm totally gonna screw these guys" that seems to surround his character. Now, we know who has been on the other end of these calls - Luis Flores, an associate of Strand's business partner who may be the rightful owner of the yacht our heroes are taking refuge on.
-Maybe whatever Strand has been hiding is considerably less nefarious than we previously thought. It turns out that the character is gay, adding a new wrinkle to the proceedings.
-We knew that Alicia's little flirtations via CB Radio were going to get the group in trouble. These "pirates" pretend to be an innocent family in need of help, but really, they're just violent scavengers. Conflict abounds in a post-apocalyptic world.
-Strand's backstory is revealed in full through. While it sounds as if there is more than meets the eye to Strand, it doesn't sound as if he is 100 percent innocent. The jury is still out on whose side he is on.
-The group is headed to Strand's lover/business partner's secluded home in Mexico. That clears up any lingering questions about their destination. It doesn't, however, mean that it's a safe location. Safety = boredom, and I don't think that's what AMC is going for.
-The episode ends with two main characters being kidnapped by the pirates, though it does sound as if the majority of these bad guys are killed in the initial skirmish.
That's all for now. You can tune into AMC on Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET to get all of the details for "Fear The Walking Dead."
