Fear the Walking Dead 516 synopsis: End of the Line

Fear the Walking Dead wraps up season 5 with the season finale, “End of the Line.” Here’s your synopsis of episode 516, airing September 29.

After a season filled with missions and meeting new people, Morgan’s group has finally reached the impasse that they can’t get past. With the caravan tired and hungry, and the Gulch full of walkers, there was nothing left for Morgan to do in last week’s “Channel 5” than to make the call that he’d been dreading. Now, in the Fear the Walking Dead season 5 finale, fans will have a chance to see what happens when Virginia answers the call.

Morgan’s mission has been one of optimism that despite all of the chaos and death surrounding the survivors, there was still reason to keep hope alive. Not only that, but in helping people the group was able to come to terms with their own demons along the way.

Now, on the brink of exhaustion, Morgan is faced with an agonizing decision: Find a way to make it against all odds, or call Virginia and accept her offer of help.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but Morgan makes the call.

Now the group faces an uncertain future heading into the season 5 finale. They have seen Virginia’s way of doing things and they don’t like it, but they’re not in any position to go on without her help. Unfortunately, one thing is crystal clear despite the uncertainty: Virginia’s help won’t come without a cost.

Here’s the synopsis of “End of the Line”:

“Facing an unknown future, Morgan leads the group on a mission. Meanwhile, Al puts the pieces together. John and June make a promise.”
