Fear The Walking Dead, In Dreams: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
7) In Grace’s dream, we see Dwight and Sherry with their children: A son, John, and a daughter, Tina. For those who may not know, Tina is named after Sherry’s little sister, who was killed by walkers in The Walking Dead season six episode, which introduced her, Sherry, and Dwight, “Always Accountable.”
8) Future Morgan tells Grace that Althea left some time ago chasing a story, though he suspected it was actually the person she was chasing. Since Al has already left to warn Isabelle about The Beginners before this episode’s events, her absence here suggests that Grace (Who, presumably, doesn’t know about Isabelle) believes that Al isn’t coming back.
9) As Grace begins to realize that she’s unconscious, she has a flashback to herself getting blood samples from her coworkers (Judging by what you can read from the vials, specifically Robert Deeley, one of the radioactive walkers from last season). Then Matthew (Athena’s biological father) turning. This is the first instance of Grace’s backstory that we’ve seen since her debut in season five’s “The Hurt That Will Happen.”
10) When Grace tells Athena that she is only a dream, Athena smacks her with her staff, which Grace reacts to. Is Athena’s attack actually a representation of her kicking inside Grace’s womb?
11) Upon realizing that she and Athena need to reach Morgan in the stables inside the dream to wake herself up, Grace conjures up a white horse. It’s likely because (As we see when her memories start intruding into the dream) she remembers catching glimpses of the painting of a white horse inside the stable.
12) As Grace and Athena navigate through the highway, we see a walker in a car in a radiation suit. Was this a nightmare of Grace’s, dying from radiation poisoning while in the suit? Or did she actually see one of her other coworkers die whilst dressed in a radiation suit?
