Fear the Walking Dead 504 recap: Skidmark

Strand uncovers the plane in Salazar’s compound. It’s not his type of plane, but he can fly it. Sarah asks if she can fly, and she can. Maybe. Once Strand looks inside he finds that the knobs are all gone and there’s a note from Salazar: “Ya dije que NO! Canal 8” (“I told you no! Channel 8”) Salazar is always one step ahead of Strand and knew he’d be coming for the plane.

He radios Salazar, who says he’s far from the warehouse but he knew Strand would pull this because he hasn’t changed at all. He also knows that Strand sent Charlie to do his dirty work, noting that he’s not going to hurt her, he’s going to save her.

Inside the warehouse, Sarah asks what the plan is. Are they just going to sit and wait for him? Strand thinks that’s the best thing to do. She tells him that this is giving up just because Salazar doesn’t think he’s changed, so they need to keep going to get the plane. They will save Charlie and they will save everyone else. Strand insists that he can’t fly the plane without the instruments. Wendell is ready to go looking for them, by himself if necessary. Strand agrees to start looking for them.

Charlie asks where Salazar is taking her. He insists that he’s not going to hurt her, and since she’s a child she can’t possibly understand what is happening. She spots his map and asks if he’s the one setting the traps, but he’s not. He’s disarming them. Salazar says she asks too many questions and turns on some music. Charlie knows the band, asking if it’s a live recording. Salazar is impressed and asks what her name is. He likes her.
