#FTWD #FearTheWalkingDead starts with someone cooking. Alicia sits at the table listening to Patsy Cline over the speakers while Connor cooks. Alicia asks where’s Jack and if she can see Travis but he tells her to eat. She asks if her family was taken to land.
Connor doesn’t answer and then the power goes down. Vida came through glaring but then Alicia is alone and she takes a bite of the food. Vida comes over and takes her bite of steak and then takes her plate and walks off with it the locks the door behind her.
Alicia tugs at the doors then runs the other way and tries more doors on the boat. She goes up some stairs and opens the door. She’s on deck. She looks around and sees they’re on a giant ship that’s in dry dock. Jack finds Alicia and takes her back down.
He says Connor would be upset and she says he made her a steak. She asks about Travis and if she can see him. He says Connor has procedures that he’s strict about. She says we won’t get caught. She asks if her family made it to land. Jack asks if she trusts him.
He promises to find out. Reed is alive but impaled and talks smack to Chris. Daniel tells him to wait outside. Reed talks about how his dad was an asshole and talks about cutting someone’s Achille’s tendon. He says that’s what he did the last time his dad put his hands on him.
Reed says his brother did that when he was watching out for him. He says Connor, his brother, will come back looking for him. He says they have 12 men and 5 boats. Daniel dumps antiseptic around the wound and Reed screams. Daniel says sorry and Reed says you will be.
Reed says his brother is the nice one but when he cuts me loose, I’m going to take your daughter apart. Daniel tells him he has known men who inspire fear and they never have to tell you how frightening they are. Daniel tells Chris to come on and he follows Daniel out.
Daniel tells Chris that Reed is scared and he got the information they need. Chris offers to stay and guard and Daniel says stay outside the door, don’t talk to him, and don’t wander off. Daniel tells Ofelia that Reed needed medical help. She thought he was torturing him.
She’s concerned about Chris but Daniel says the boy wants to stay busy. Miranda checks on Strand as Daniel comes up. Daniel tells them Connor is the leader and Reed, their prisoner, is his brother. He says it’s five boats and points out some on the radar.
She steers the boat that way. Luis comes in angry that they are going back for her family. He says they need to get to Mexico. Madison says give me half a day then asks if she should have left Strand in the water. He says we can do both.
Luis rants in Spanish that he only has money to pay for two people to cross the border. Luis says how can she sneak up in a yacht. She says they’re expecting the boat. She says Luis can stay behind with the kids but Daniel says the kids can’t stay behind because they need everyone.
Daniel says they need them but she says they’re just kids – Daniel says not anymore. Jack explains to Alicia that they only go after larger vessels and says that’s her job – to log boats she sees on the radar and log them. He says when Connor approves, she makes contact.
She doesn’t want to do it and says she doesn’t know what to say. Jack reminds her she reeled him in. She asks how you choose. Alicia sneaks a knife out of his pocket when he’s unaware. Travis wakes in a hold. There is chain link trapping him in and a grate above his head. He checks for a way out then someone comes down.
Alex approaches him and describes the death of the young boy that was with her on the raft and says she had nothing to stop him from turning. She says he whispered – don’t let me drown. She says she put her hands around his throat and choked the last bit of life from him.
She says then she pushed him out of the raft. She says they made her do it – it’s because of you. She says when Connor found her, he asked what she could offer. She says she offered them the Abigail but asked for him.
Strand is shivering and Madison says that’s your body trying to warm up and says don’t fight it. He stands and Madison says don’t send Nick on any more errands. He says Nick offered. She says he was alone and in the dark and could have died.
Strand says Nick knows how to move through this world and he says Nick’s potential within five minutes of meeting him. She says he doesn’t know what Nick is capable of and says don’t come between me and my son. She storms off and Strand takes the wheel.
Alicia chooses a boat and Jack says good choice. He tells her how to log it then he notices her looking at The Abigail on radar. She says that’s not enough time to drop them off and she hits him in the face with the clipboard. She asks if he knew.
He tackles her to stop her. She asks what happens on the other boats. He says Reed takes the people out. She asks if her family is gone and he says he doesn’t know. She says she has to find her family and Jack says he’ll come with her.
Madison goes downstairs and finds Nick. She tells him not to pull that shit again and he says he doesn’t mind it out there. He says sorry when she keeps ranting. She asks him to promise he won’t go out there again and he doesn’t.
He’s cleaning and loading a gun and she says he seems too comfortable with that. Jack and Alicia pick out a ship on radar that’s slowing and they hope to get away while Connor goes to do recon. He writes something on the chart.
Jack asks if she’s sure and she tells him to make the call to Connor. Travis asks Alex what they want with them. She says they’re putting Alicia to work however they want. She says he put them on the raft and he says the boy was going to turn and couldn’t be saved.
She says she saw his face and says he knew what would happen and the right thing to do then chose the other. Daniel tells Strand this surprises him since he has no skin in this. Strand reminds him he doesn’t either. They use the binoculars to check out the dry dock.
Travis tells her he has a son who watches to see how he faces things and all this violence. He says he tries not to be a part of it but the world is changing. He says he’s no better than the man who cut the rope. He says what she did to the boy, he did the same to his son’s mother.
He says he knows what it costs. He says it cost a part of him and asks how he gets it back. She says you don’t. He tells her he’s sorry for all of this. Alex starts to leave and he asks what happens to her. She says Connor said he could use her but she doesn’t let people use her.
Reed calls out to Chris and he’s coughing but says it’s just a scratch. He tells Chris that his brother has big plans for his pretty sister and says he doesn’t look like her. Reed says they have a lot in common then asks where’s his real mom. Chris glared.
Reed says orphan to orphan, be prepared because these people he calls family will put him down like a stray. Nick shows up. Reed says blood is all that matters. Nick shuts the door on him then asks if Chris is okay. Chris looks upset and Nick asks what is it.
Chris says he froze and let them on the boat. He says if he pulled the trigger, it would not have happened. Nick says you can’t shoot a pregnant woman and says don’t let this get inside your head. Travis gets a visit from Alicia and Jack says keep it short.
She says she doesn’t think they got to land and says The Abigail is back too soon. He says it’s your mom and says they’ll be fine. She tells him they’re going to try and get out of here tonight with Jack. She says she’ll come back for him and he says just go.
Alicia says she put them in this mess and will get them out of it but he tells her Alex is there and told them everything about them. He says if it comes down to it, go without me. She says no and Jack pulls her away.
Connor radios Reed and says drop anchor and shut it down. Madison, Nick and Strand are there. Madison says you can have your brother when I get my family back. He asks what she did with him and she says nothing yet. He asks about the others.
She says the others didn’t follow through on the promise of safe passage. He demands to talk to Reed and she says no. She says he’s alive and trade if you want him. She says one hour – your brother for my family. Connor says one man and Nick says he’ll go. Madison says she’ll bring him.
They hear a shot and go running. Ofelia is first there and finds Chris looking sad. Chris says he was going to turn. He walks away. Madison, Daniel, Nick and Luis come in and everyone is upset. Luis says this is done but Daniel says it’s not.
Madison finds Chris who is still holding the gun. Chris says he was sick and she asks how he knew. He says that’s what happens now. She asks who’s gun and he says Reed’s. He says he picked it up. He asks if he screwed up something but she says they’ll sort it out.
She says we’re going to get him back. Chris says he had to do it. Madison holds him and says it’s okay. He thanks her and she says it’s over now. Travis is handcuffed for transport. Connor says go get the girl but Jack complains.
Nick cleans the gore off the wall and Ofelia helps him. She says she’s starting to get used to spilling blood, cleaning it and spilling it again. Ofelia asks Nick if he was going to turn and Nick shrugs. Then Reed wakes up – he has turned. He wasn’t shot in the head.
Daniel tells them not yet and uses the rebar to pin his body to the wall. Daniel secures a bag over his head. Daniel seems to be hearing a voice saying “take the gun” but then Ofelia is there. They lead zombie Reed out.
Jack goes looking for Alicia. She was hiding in a cabinet. He runs through calling her name. Nick tells Madison to let him go. He says she’s more needed than him and he’s better with the boat. He asks why she won’t let him go and she says because you want to.
Daniel loads zombie Reed onto the launch and she takes off with him but has a loaded gun. Strand and Nick see Travis being led out. Alicia runs for Travis and finds him gone. Vida comes down and says she’s not supposed to be there.
Vida tells her she upset Jack and she pulls out a baton and says she can stay in the cage for now. Alicia grapples with her then closes Vida in the cage and runs off. Madison has Reed and they bring out Travis. She asks where’s my daughter and he says you get her when I know my brother is all right.
She lets him go and they let Travis go. They pull the bag off Reeds head and he takes a chunk out of Connor. She cuts Travis loose and then he grapples with the guy.
Alicia is at the edge of the boat and sees her family down below. Jack says we can go now and she says her family came back for her. Madison kicks the guy who’s fighting with Travis. Madison sees Alicia nd tells Travis to come on.
Jack says Alex told them what her family did and says they will abandon her. Madison calls for Alicia. Jack begs her please. Alicia says sorry and she slides off the boat and down into the water. She bobs up and Travis grabs her hand and pulls her into the launch. Jack stares at her as they leave.
THE END!
