However, after the cliffhanger, there is a long wait until the show returns.

Strand knows Nick is vulnerable to Celia’s “quasi-religious bullshit”, but what Nick really likes about Celia is that she accepts him.
Immediately after Strand kills Thomas, Travis goes looking for Chris. Yes, Celia was the worst kind of ignorant: the kind that thinks it knows better.
-Daniel is also having a mental breakdown because…drama? “I think what’s important at the end of the mid-season is that it’s the impact on Ofelia and the rest of the characters that Daniel’s gone”. Granted, it’s clear the remaining group would have fled anyway, since Celia was out of her damn mind, but this helped make everything feel more connected than it might have felt without Daniel’s storyline. I just hope they don’t get back on that boat! Like the haunted hotel in The Shining, it got its claws into Chris, who has his own little trip to loco land in “Shiva”.
Bringing Travis back could mean that he’s off somewhere that Madison may not have approved of.
The second half of “Fear The Walking Dead” Season 2 is expected to end in October this year to mark the beginning of “The Walking Dead” Season 7.
Not that I don’t appreciate the effort.
And yes, I realize we’ve seen something similar to this on The Walking Dead, with Lizzie in season four’s excellent “The Grove”. Amidst all these excitement and anxiety, Robert Kirkman, the creator of the show, came up with shocking evidence of the death of a character which left all fans stunned. Strand, Madison, Alicia and Ofelia plan to escape to the yacht, but Nick, who was amused by Celia’s theories in the apocalyptic world, refuses to accompany them. “And if you’re my age, you think, ‘Oh, man, they made a mistake with George Lazenby.’ But then Daniel Craig hit it. And so, people do care”. He’s seen going through the woods and he apparently uses drug again. He tells Madison that Celia was right about them, that they aren’t good people.
The network is now, for all intents and purposes, the Walking Dead channel, with that show pulling in a large majority of the ratings that make advertisers perk up and fork over their money. We’ve reason to be hopeful. They should be very interesting and formidable as a team if and when they reunite.
Chris can’t come back because of what he did to Madison and Alicia, and Travis doesn’t want him to be alone so he told Nick to lie and say he wasn’t able to find them.
“Shiva” airs on Sunday, May 22, at 9 p.m. on AMC.

– One of the subtle ways in which Fear the Walking Dead distinguishes itself from The Walking Dead is in its use of silence. I haven’t been shy about proclaiming Daniel as my favorite character, since he’s the most nuanced of the entire bunch, in my opinion. It also gives the protagonists some commonality with the infected.
