We have reached the half way point of the final season of Fear and it did not end how I thought it would. This episode ended up wrapping up the Padre storyline with Madison taking over as the leader of Padre.
But first we need to talk about that tease at the very end. We see someone packing their bag off to find Madison after they hear her on the radio, but then see them put Alicias hand in that bag!!!! Now there is no confirmation on who it is but I really hope that it is Alicia and that she is going to reunite with Madison by the end of the season. Noting would make me happier to see Alicia and Madison reunite again and that is all I am hoping for in these last 6 episodes .
Now lets get back to the rest of the episode. This focused on Morgan trying to rescue Mo who was calling all the walkers from the shipping containers. Lennie James is a phenomenal actor here as he is putting everything he has into Morgan this season and it’s really panting off. We see Morgan have a break down due to what happened with Grace and see him go into his clear mode where he even ends up hurting Mo. I liked the idea of what they did here but the constant skipping did get quite annoying as they never showed us Morgan going full clear. Mode we just heard people talk about it.
We also got the wrap up of the Padre storyline, which I didn’t see coming as i thought it would be throughout the whole season, but instead we see that Shrike gets bit by her farther and then presumably her brother puts her down. I did feel it was slightly rushed as they have been teasing this big fight when in fact it all just happens very quickly.
I was absolutely shocked that Dwight and Sherry lost their kid, as i really thought he would survive but he didn’t. We clearly see that Junes so called cure can only prolong life but not stop the infection, which makes what happened with Alicia even more interesting. They had a heartbreaking scene at the end where they said they need to not be together so they didn’t lose anything else. Dwight also mentioned going back so i wonder if we will see much of them in the next part of the season as well.
I am very intrigued to see where the last 6 episodes go because this episode felt more like a finale then a mid season finale. I have a feeling we may not see Morgan until the finale as it felt like this was a goodbye to him and Mo as he set off to go back home and find Rick. After this ending i have no doubt that there will be some crossover between the main show and fear and i do feel we will at least see Carol at some point as we now know the two timelines are caught up.
I feel like the rest of the season will follow Madison and the rest of the fear characters build a home at Padre and unite the kids with their parents. However one thing that better happen soon is a reunion with Madison and Strand as we haven’t seen him or Luciana for the entire season so far. Im really hoping they have bigger parts in the second half as they are the OG gang, which is another reason in don’t think we will see much more of Morgan.
I think that these last 6 episodes will focus on the main Fear cast again such as Madison, Daniel, June, Strand, Luciana and fingers crossed the return of Alicia( which i could see them announcing at comic con). i really feel that they are going to focus on the core original cast with this second part to give them all a good farewell.
Overall, I didn’t love this episode but the teases it gave at the end got me very excited for how this show will end. If they give us Morgan returning home and an Alicia reunion then I will be very happy.
