    18. S02xE12-13 FTWD: Pillar of Salt and Date of Death

    Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast. Show episode S02E12-13. “Pillar of Salt” and  “Date of Death.” Podcast episode 18.      Stephen and Bruce discuss this week's episodes, “Pillar of Salt” and  “Date of Death.” Madison shows some strong leadership except when she thinks about Nick; then she loses her ability to think clearly. Travis is going through a similar process with Chris. Ofelia is on a walkabout to find an old boyfriend; her dad Salazar is still missing. And Nick is doing well in the colonia just as its leader is falling apart.

    17. S02xE11 FTWD: Pablo and Jessica

    Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast. Show episode S02E11. “Pablo and Jessica.” Podcast episode 17.      Stephen and Bruce discuss this week's episode, “Pablo and Jessica.” The focus this week is on Nick's integration into the colonia and on Madison, Alicia, and Strand forming a new group with the hotel survivors. Ofelia and Salazar are still missing. Chris and Travis don’t show up either, but we assume they are still with the three American bros.      This was a good week for the women characters in the episode.  Alicia comes into her own by planning how to eliminate the walkers from the hotel.  Madison brokers an alliance among all the survivors in the hotel, and Luciana finds Nick to be a worthwhile partner both in making supply runs and in her own personal life. Nick uses his drug skills in cutting their drugs to make them last longer in their trades. We also notice the cultural difference between the mostly Mexican colonia and the mostly American hotel residents.  Whereas the colonia keeps their dead close as a kind of moat, the hotel residents see them as an infestation to be eliminated.

    16. S02xE10 FTWD: Do Not Disturb

    Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast. Show episode S02E10. “Do Not Disturb.” Podcast episode 16. Stephen and Bruce discuss this week's episode.  Quinn got separated from the group, but we have high hopes that we'll meet her down the road. Chris and Alicia seem to be mirroring each other this week as they both come into their own in fighting the walkers and the living, and make new friends outside the group.  Alicia seems to be making better choices in the friends she makes with Elena, the head of housekeeping in the hotel. The three bros that Chris identifies with do not seem trustworthy. Chris chooses between the new guys and his dad by shooting the farmer whose farm they were on.  It's hard to see a clear path back for Chris at this point.  Alicia is starting to come into her own.  She hangs in the elevator shaft to evade the walkers, makes a daring walk from one balcony to another to get away from yet more walkers, and releases even more walkers to attack the hotel guests who hate her new ally. She has a happy reunion with her mother and Strand. That sub-group is still separated from Ofelia, and we have no idea what is happening with her father Salazar.

    15. S02E09. Los Muertos

    Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast. Show episode S02E09. “Los Muertos.” Podcast episode 15.      Stephen Payne and Bruce R. Magee discuss this week’s episode. Nick tries to steal from a gang that is guarding a box store, and Madison and Strand get drunk and loud. What could go wrong?       We discuss the nature of the group that Nick has joined. They follow a pharmacist who has become not only their doctor but also their leader. But have they become a cult? Usually groups like this go seriously wrong somewhere. Bruce predicts that they will meet their end by the end of the season.      We learn more about some of the rest of the group. Madison, Strand, Alicia, and Ofelia are on their own, and are searching for Nick. When they reach a dead end, Alicia becomes angry with Madison for ignoring the child she has with her in favor of the missing one. The group tries to return to the yacht but finds it’s been stolen. They settle on a seemingly empty hotel.  Alicia & Ofelia explore the upper floors while Madison and Strand get drunk and make a lot of noise. One of the frustrating elements of horror is characters acting stupid. Sure enough, zombies start approaching the noise.  Many of them walk off of upper floors and splatter to the ground below. The ones who aren't wounded too badly get up and continue toward the noise. The episode ends with our group under attack: Alicia is hiding upstairs from the infected, Ofelia is  missing, and Madison and Strand are in the bar surrounded by the infected.

    14. 2x08. Grotesque.

    Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast. Show episode 2x08. Grotesque. Podcast epiode 14.      Quinn Warner, Stephen Payne, and Bruce R. Magee discuss this week's episode. Nick spends most of the episode trying to survive in the desert, either by himself or with a herd of infected.      Quinn likes this episode a lot because it focuses on Nick, her favorite character. And she and Bruce like the focus on Nick's internal life.  This is the first time that we've really gotten to see the impact of Gloria's death in the first episode on Nick, since in the earlier episodes we haven't known what was going on for him emotionally. We also find out why Nick's father is missing from his life; he died in a car wreck while Nick was in rehab.       Nick's journey through the desert is also in internal journey as he has to face the memories and emotions he's been avoiding.  The infected are dangerous but not evil; true evil has to have actual malevolence, like the murderous trio who kill for fun until they get too close to the infected. Nick seems to want to join the infected in eating the men they killed, but he settles for eating a freshly killed dog. By the end of the episode, Nick has joined a new group near the U.S. border. With Nick in their midst, how long can they survive?  Tune in to find out.

    13. 2x07. Shiva

    Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast. Show episode 2x07. Shiva. Podcast epiode 13.      Quinn Warner, Stephen Payne, and Bruce R. Magee discuss this week's episode. To answer last week's question, no, our heroes have not found a safe haven.       Nick works the hardest to maintain some kind of order. With Celia in charge after Thomas' death, Nick understands that she'll let his group stay if he can get her son back.  He puts on his zombie camouflage and retrieves zombie Luis. But the deal falls through when Madison locks Celia in the basement with the zombies, and Daniel burns the compound. By the end of the episode, the compound is gone, and our cast has splintered in 4 directions. It's hard to see how they will move forward in the second half of the season.
