Fear the Walking Dead 504 review: The plot thickens

There is a new dynamic duo in Fear the Walking Dead and it’s one of the most unlikely pairings. Here’s our review of this week’s “Skidmark.”

Strand’s quest to steal Salazar’s airplane went haywire in this week’s episode of Fear the Walking Dead. While Strand was left to figure out how to get the bird in the air, Charlie bonded with a new friend and fans got a good look at the helicopter that rescued Rick. Let’s take a look at “Skidmark.”

As an episode, “Skidmark” gave characters like Sarah, Wendell and Charlie a chance to shine after not being seen since the season premiere. By not focusing too much on any one story throughout the episode the action felt compelling the whole way through, with hardly any slow moments to speak of.

Eagle-eyed fans had a lot to appreciate in this episode, with several hints from Salazar about the warehouse, the cigar and why he’s doing what he’s doing by disarming the traps. The kids revealed their big secret. The helicopter seen carrying Rick away on The Walking Dead was spotted again. Clearly, the Fear the Walking Dead showrunners are setting something up and it’s going to be big.

Here are some of the other things that stood out in “Skidmark.”
