“Ouroboros”
Flight 462 has landed…in the ocean. Charlie…(or Alex? I guess we’ll call her Alex) finds a burned-up Jake and they both make it onto a life raft. Later, one of the men in the raft tries to kill Jake in his sleep but Alex stabs and kills him in defense. Back at The Abigail Strand makes another call to a stranger. The Abigail comes to a halt and Travis dives in to investigate. He discovers a walker stuck in the engine and later works on the gut-consumed filters.
Alicia spots wreckage from Flight 462 and the group decides to raid it for supplies. Daniel reveals to Madison Strand’s plan to head to Mexico and implores her to confront him about it. Nick and Alicia sort through the wreckage while Chris explores the inside of Flight 462 alone. The seats are lined with the dead until an alive one wakes up and beckons him, “Help me.”
Madison confronts Strand about Mexico and he explains he’s planning on taking them to a house in Baja that has food sources and running water. Nick helps Daniel choose the right medication for Ofelia while Chris puts the dying man on the plane out of his misery by beating him to death with a metal gear and then again when he turns. Daniel searches for Chris while Nick discovers a medicine bag. Travis continues to work on the boat while Madison fills him in on Strand’s plan.
Daniel runs into a panicked Alex who tells him to run from the horde of walkers descending on the hill. Nick stumbles down the hill and immediately gets attacked by a walker. He stabs it in the head while another walker falls off. Alicia finds Chris while Daniel uses the walkers as target practice. Madison spots the horde of walkers and commands Strand to move the boat to shore.
Alex, Alicia, and the rest take out the walkers as Travis finally fixes the boat. Nick arrives, covered in blood, and saves Alicia. (Nick also realizes his blood acts as a disguise, allowing him to walk among the infected). The group makes it back to The Abigail (with Alex and Jake) and Madison fills everyone in on the Mexico plan. Travis and the group give Alex and Jake water and let their raft tow along. In an act of defiance Strand cuts the tow that tethered Alex and Jake to The Abigail.
Great Episode.They keep getting better. Strand is the character you love to hate. Loved seeing the rest of the Abigail crew getting their zombie on. My question is were all those beach zombies, from the plane or was that the leftovers from the Chariots of Fire race earlier in the week?
Loved tonight ‘s episode! Bad ass zombie fighting kids rule!
Okay can we all agree to call the kid on the raft with Alex ‘Dwight Jr.’?
Who the f*** is Alex? We’ve been calling her Charlie for months – your fault Johnny!
(Great episode!)
According to the ill-The Walking Dead Wiki, Alex was credited as “Charlie” in the Flight 462 Credits.
Ok, interesting. Maybe it’s a cock up, and maybe she was lying about her name, in which case we’re seeing her again… 🙂
I think the name was a production error or a temp that got picked up. That’s not official, just my guess. We decided it wasn’t a big enough deal to try and get official word on from the boss men.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Best ep of the whole series so far! I enjoyed it & am finally hyped for the next one!
The second Nick showed up covered in blood was the moment that I knew this show was badass.
Oh my God, that chick from Flight 462 was NOTHING but annoying. She actively put lives in danger for someone half dead already and was seemingly the primary reason the walkers got the drop on our heroes. Glad Strand cut the cord.
Alex felt she owed Jake because she took his mom’s seat on the plane. My mothering instinct would’ve kicked into overdrive & had me doing the same thing she did. And she didn’t mean to lead the infected to Salazar & the group… she was just running away from them. Strand should’ve been the one in the life raft, drifting off with a cut cord!
Doesn’t make anything she did less of a liability when there’s more lives to consider.
No, but it makes sense, being that there is a tad bit more to Jake than being just another life to her. They all consider ALL lives but the ones closest to them, even down to the smallest connection, take precedence.
I like her. She brings spark to the show the same way Daniel Salazar does.
