Two gang members from the supermarket spot the family. There are also speculations that they will attempt to break into the safe haven to rummage around for more drugs, or that they might have already figured out that Nick tampered with their Oxycodone. It’s time for our weekly review of who and what we lost on the latest installment of Fear The Walking Dead. It’s revealed that she was the person who stole Strand’s (Colman Domingo) truck. It’s good to see her finally doing something for herself, and unrealistic as it is, I kinda hope she finds that guy alive. When they get back to the hotel, she foolishly flips the lights on, at night, so Nick can see them wherever he is.

Viewers will remember that Ofelia opened up about Will to Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey). Could she be asking this new family about Nick? Like Ofelia’s mother tells her in one of the flashbacks, a parent will do anything for their child. But is Will still alive?

Meanwhile, at the hotel, everyone is working together to make it a safe and functioning place to stay.

At the resort, Madison and Elena unite with the hotel guests to power up the generator and make ice. Things are going so well that Alicia seems to have the time to take some surfing lessons with Hector. However, nothing good ever lasts. It was Ilene, mother of the bride, who nearly killed our beloved Strand with a knife to the gut as he responded to her knock at the door. She’s grieving her daughter and blames Strand for taking her away from her. In this season 2 episode, “Pillar of Salt”, as Madison and friends build up the hotel, scorned mother Eileen throws a wrench in the harmony. Andres tells the group that in order to help Strand, he needs antibiotics and more supplies.

While at the supermercado trading for medication, Madison overhears Marco yelling and asks Elena to translate. As for Ilene? She’s now a prisoner at the hotel.

The Colonia Nick (Frank Dillane) is staying at isn’t dealing with violence, but Alejandro (Paul Calderon) is acting very unusual. He’s so paranoid about losing people that he refuses to let Luciana (Danay Garcia) complete the Oxy run. Luciana is of course agreeing with Alejandro, despite arguing with Nick over it, but Nick knows that if the gang doesn’t get their Oxy as promised, it’ll be a problem. They’re the ones that have the medication that Strand needs, and Elena’s nephew is part of the group.

After the news that Francisco left with his family, Alejandro declares a lockdown at the Colonia. She thinks that the “gringo with the ratty hair” that they’re talking about is Nick – and she’s right. And Strand’s clear-cut response, “Then make her”, is flawless. Madison has been helping the lead the charge in this place, but ultimately this could end up becoming a little too much for her to bear. But Strand is no longer Madison’s number one concern. Alicia heads to the roof and finds her mom. Elena runs after her, begging for her to stop. Her having been toughened in her own way by what her family went through makes so much sense, and it having made her into a self-reliant person like this fits very well with that background.

The official synopsis for Episode 12 of Fear the Walking Dead is below. Ofelia is now headed towards the US border.

AMC released images earlier in the week for Episode 12 of Fear the Walking Dead that showed Madison Clark potentially in the same location as where her son, Nick, barters for supplies. Expect a bloody confrontation between the two groups.

While this may not mean that Madison and Nick will meet up in Episode 12 of Fear the Walking Dead, it is a good indicator the pair could be reunited soon.
