Fear the Walking Dead – Padre

1) This week’s “Previously” focuses on Strand telling Will that Alicia is the closest thing he’s got to family and Strand killing Will (From “The Beacon”). Arno wants Strand to grant the Stalkers entrance into the tower and reveal he found a dud warhead and Morgan reuniting with Alicia (All from “The Portrait”).

2) This episode begins where season six’s “Mother” left off, with Teddy leaving Alicia in the Franklin Hotel’s bunker and then, effectively, following events from that point on from Alicia’s perspective.

3) It seems like Arno and many of the other recruits Teddy brought to the bunker were not simply people they took there (which is kind of the impression you get in the brief bit we see of them in “Mother”). These were true devotees to his philosophy, as they all talk about instructions he gave them and seem quite obedient to him.

4) One attempts to feed Alicia to Senator Vasquez’s walker. Didn’t they all know what Alicia looked like? Why was this specific cultist so ignorant of her? I mean, Arno recognizes her, so why not the other guy?

5) This week’s title sequence features a silhouette of Alicia standing in the wasteland with a walker (Covered in white paint) on her right, with a red background, while the edges of the title card burn. The theme remains after fluctuating between being present and not being present over the preceding episodes.
