Fear TWD 502: Who originally owned Skidmark and the warehouse?

Daniel Salazar returned in Fear the Walking Dead 502 and he seems to be a different man. He also inherited a warehouse full of stuff, and an orange cat.

One of the biggest mysteries unfolding in the Fear the Walking Dead universe right now is who owned Skidmark before Daniel Salazar came along. (OK, that might not be the biggest mystery, but it’s certainly up there!) Salazar, who seems to have changed since we last saw him, mentioned that he “inherited” the warehouse and all of the supplies from someone else, and it’s safe to assume that this is where Skidmark came from. How does the new Salazar tie into who owned Skidmark and the warehouse?

Well over a year has passed since fans last saw Daniel Salazar at the dam. He’d been shot in the face by Victor Strand, and after the explosion he was presumed dead. Of course, as with all things in this universe no one is ever truly dead until we see a body. But even after surviving the dam incident it’s amazing that he has found himself in the same vicinity as Strand and the others.

Something has changed him. He hasn’t lost his edge, clearly, but he’s a tad bit more compassionate and understanding. The obvious exception is when it concerns Victor Strand. Even the fact that he invited Strand inside, listened to him, and sent him on his way reflects a subtle change in him.

There’s a puzzle waiting to be solved here. Skidmark definitely didn’t belong to Salazar originally, and he admitted that he “inherited” the warehouse. And then there’s the change in Salazar himself. How do all of these things fit together?
