Wrath

It's been rough hanging in there to this point, but now I feel like my time has been worth it.

The Colonia plotline, which I never really bought into, is finally coming to a conclusion. Good riddance. No doubt soon Nick will be reintegrated into the main story.

The hotel plotline continues to be the reason to watch. It's a plausible situation filled with fraught, no-win scenarios.

The Travis & Chris plotline is a real powerhouse. It's completely believable if sad that Chris, a naive teenage kid, would be wowed by a self-confident gang of older "cool" guys who seem to have all the answers.

Glory be, Alicia is no longer as irritating as she was at first. She's maturing into a level-headed, reasonable character and not an annoyingly clueless teen.

As for Ofelia, that one is a wait and see. Not sure what the point of it is, just yet.

However, one complaint: why hasn't everyone figured out that anyone could be a danger if they die unnoticed and turn? People should not be sleeping together in the same room, especially if they are in a hotel full of rooms. Everyone sleep in a separate room behind a shut door. If someone doesn't turn up for breakfast, then check their room. Carefully.

That goes quadruple for sick/injured people being cared for, who obviously are at much greater risk of dying at any point. For something like that to pose a problem at this point in the story is just moronic.

Ofelia's truck breaks down in the Mexican desert. While she checks the engine, a group of Infected attacks her. After Ofelia kills a few, she flees on foot. Making it to the Mexican-American border and finds a hole and keeps going until someone starts shooting at her. A man armed with Assault Rifle discovers her hiding behind a tree. "Welcome to America," he says.

Nick attempts to convince the bandits not to attack the community by giving them their drugs, but the leader leaves an ultimatum: abandon the community or he and his men will slaughter everybody. Nick then returns and warns Luciana about the impending attack and asks her to leave with him. However, Luciana is still adamant in Alejandro's ability to protect them. Frustrated, Nick forces Alejandro to admit that he's not actually immune to the infection, and that he had been using his medical experience to merely suppress the symptoms.

At the hotel, Derek and Brandon are let in, and Madison recognizes them based on Travis' description. They explain that Chris accidentally crashed their truck and was killed by the impact. However, several inconsistencies in their stories lead Travis to conclude that Chris was only injured in the crash and was killed by Brandon and Derek, which they confirm. Enraged, Travis beats the two to death and severely injures Oscar who tries to stop him.

"Wrath," is a gripping and intense episode that delves into the consequences of past actions and the lengths people will go to protect themselves and their loved ones in a post-apocalyptic world. The episode follows the group as they grapple with the aftermath of their encounter with the hostile survivors.

One of the most striking aspects of this episode is the exploration of the group dynamics and how they have evolved over time. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, characters are forced to confront their own moral compass and decide what they are willing to do to survive. This theme is further emphasized in a standout scene where two characters engage in a heated debate over the group's next course of action, highlighting the internal conflicts that arise when faced with difficult decisions.

Another compelling aspect of "Wrath" is its exploration of the concept of revenge and its consequences. As the group seeks retribution for past wrongs, they are forced to confront the toll that their actions have taken on their humanity. This theme is powerfully portrayed in a climactic scene where the group's leader is faced with a choice that will ultimately define their future.

Wrath did another example of how good this show can get during its concluding storylines, not only did this episode showcase a character at his breaking point after a heartbreaking reveal. It is an example of how a sheep who goes out of his way to avoid violence can become the lion when angered.

Ofelia's car overheats in the desert and she has to walk. In Tijuana, Nick steals Oxy from the cabinet and goes with a resident to give the drug to Marcos; however he learns that he has a new supplier. Further, the criminals have tortured and killed the family that left the colony and now they know how to attack the place. Nick unsuccessfully tries to convince Luciana to leave the colony with him before the attack of the gang. Brandon and Derek seek shelter in the hotel compound and Madison learns that Chris died. She tries to force the two guys to sneak out of the place before Travis sees him. Will she succeed?

"Wrath' is an upgrade in "Fear the Walking Dead" and now the writers finally get rid of the annoying Chris; unfortunately they kept Travis and Madison. They lost a great chance to get rid of these two terrible characters that only bring destruction and death to the show wherever they go. This might be the couple with less chemistry in any show. Nick is still the most interesting character of "Fear the Walking Dead". My vote is eight.
