Fear the Walking Dead and Flight 462 find themselves on a collision course.
ThisFear the Walking Deadreview contains spoilers.
Its the wreckage of this doomed commercial flight we see at the beginning of Ouroboros.
More on her in a bit.
Theres a lot more to Ouroboros than just Flight 462.
Abigails engines have stalled, leaving her and her makeshift crew adrift in the Pacific Ocean.
He understands that Abigail is their key to survival.
If she doesnt run, everyones life is at risk.
As it turns out, Abigail is constipated her pipes are literally full of excrement.
At the same time, Alicia spies Flight 462s luggage strewn about on the shore.
The kids are all for pilfering whatever supplies they can from the wreckage.
Even so, while a supply run makes sense, the group cant keep finding excuses to go ashore.
Doing so flies in the face of whats supposed to be so special about this second season.
But hopefully theyll keep away from the coast for the next few episodes.

Supply run aside, I really felt that this episode belonged to Chris.
In a good way.
(To be fair, this is true ofThe Walking Dead, too.)
Still, Chris knows enough to grab a makeshift weapon before entering the wreckage.
When confronted with actual zombies, hes strangely confident and unafraid, a surly zombie slayer.
But it turns out he needs to kill more than just the dead.
And what happens next was difficult to watch, a mercy kill gone horribly wrong.
One has to wonder how this will affect his young mind.
At the very least, Chris has quickly become a more interesting character, right?
We get a fair amount of zombie action in this episode, courtesy of Alex.
She makes contact with the main cast just as the undead crest the dunes behind her.
Im all for slower-paced character development but this is a zombie show after all.
The zombie kills quickly begin to pile up as Alicia, Daniel, and Alex fight for their lives.
Like Chris, Nick is fearless when he finds himself face to face with a zombie.
Hes already been through a personal hell that gives him clarity in the apocalypse.
As for Strand, things come to a head when Madison confronts him about the maps Daniel found.
And maybe none of what hes telling Madison is true.
Its very hard to understand Strands motives.
Even in season one, it was never entirely clear why he thought Nick would be such an asset.
Her comment hints at a greater loss for all those years her brother was off fighting his demons.
Now theyre fighting actual demons together.
As for Nick, he seems more comfortable in the garb of others.
The old mans clothes, an Abigail polo shirt, and now a pilots uniform.
Who is the real Nick?
