No one can say that Season 6 of Fear the Walking Dead didn’t go out with a bang — several of them, as a matter of fact, as one warhead after another went off The Day After style.
‘PROMISE ME YOU’LL FIND SOMEONE’ | As the episode got underway, we found Rachel trying to change a flat while daughter Morgan wailed and dear Rufus… Well, I’m sure he would’ve helped if he could, but he’d never been much of a mechanic, now had he? All the while, Morgan — the adult, not the baby — warned over the walkie-talkie that “this may be all the time that we have left.” As such, he wanted everyone to “give yourself the end that you wanted, even if it’s not the one we all imagined.” Oh, Morgan.
Just as they were about to hit the road again, Rollie said something about making it after all and rising like a phoenix and… Oh! Oh! Daniel recognized that BS as being Riley and the cult’s, so he grabbed a gun and shot Rollie.
Um, then why had she killed Virginia? “After I lost John, I lost what he believed,” June said, “but I found it again.” With that, John, June and Dakota melted into a tearful group hug.
After dispatching Rachel and retrieving Morgan — the baby this time — Morgan — the actual Morgan — marveled, “She feels like a gift from Athena.” Uh, and all the while no one told Rufus what a good boy he was; he and Dog from The Walking Dead need to unionize.
