After they escape a riot, Travis, Liza and Chris seek refuge with the Salazars; Madison defends her home.

Fear the Walking Dead’s third episode has the show returning after a week off the air for the holiday.

The episode quickly kicks off with a riot fully broken out, and Travis with the Salazars on the run and after an accident attempting to find a hospital. The Walking Dead often asks us who the real evil and horrors are, and with the city melting down, we can see that in reality that is up for debate.

But, we also get some interesting questions answered like the issue of hospitals. We’re seeing society fall apart before our very eyes. We also might get a bit of foreshadowing as to who might be one fo the first to die.

With only a zombie here and there to deal with, the episode has much more of a horror vibe to it all, with an almost killer stalking their victims vibe to it all. It’s very different from the main series. There’s also some answers as to if people need to be bit to turn at this point, and it’s clearly not the case as we’ve seen with the neighbor.

What we get to see too is the characters come to grips with what’s happening. It’s not like this is something that’s easily believed. And reality setting in for their situation is actually very interesting to watch. By the time we start The Walking Dead, folks have accepted their situation, but here we see people starting to deal with that situation.

Another fantastic episode as the series is a slow burn to complete oblivion.
