6 new questions about Fear The Walking Dead season six

2) Where is Althea?

I know this seems like a vague question, but, just, bear with me: Throughout the trailer, we see Al roaming around (Including the scene of her mysteriously signaling someone, which I wondered about last time), without, apparently, a care in the world: Not looking over her shoulders, not looking hurried or concerned in any way.

This is…odd. When we left off at the end of last season, Al was captured by the Pioneers and Virginia seemed to want her to try to contact CRM (the Helicopter People), so, you could argue this is all part of that mission (And that her signal was meant for them).

However, I can’t imagine that Virginia would just let Al roam around free like this, unsupervised. Of the group, Al might be the best equipped to rally them together across the Pioneer’s massive turf, in spite of their separation, and do so without getting caught, so, why would you let her, of all people, go free and contact a potentially larger, more organized, and better armed group than you, unsupervised?!

Does that make sense to you? It doesn’t to me. Even with Virginia holding the rest of the group hostage, I can’t imagine her being so cocky that she would just let Al go off on her own and, potentially, double-cross her with CRM, and use them to free the rest of the group. All of this brings me back to where I started: Where is she that she isn’t under the careful watch of someone from the Pioneers?

On a side note: During one scene in the trailer, we see Al getting snuck up on by a walker in what looks to be a makeshift hospital room. This is all normal, except for the fact that the walker looks very fresh. Who is this random woman that Al, apparently, just missed before she turned, and, under what circumstances did she turn? Was she attacked by some hostile that Al will run into? Is this how she (Again, apparently, since we don’t actually see who’s driving the SWAT truck) gets into a chase with the Pale Riders?
