Happy Tuesday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 7 mid-season finale, I started to remember why I used to love this show in the first place.
Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.
In season 6 episode 7, “Damage From the Inside,” Victor asks for Alicia’s help after Dakota goes missing. Meanwhile, Alicia encounters a cringe-worthy horror of her own.
My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 7 are:
5
“Now’s the time to do something.”
I think Dakota might be on to something here. Seriously…do anything! I’ve been sitting around waiting for something to happen on Fear TWD, but we are jumping around too much to catch up with characters in each episode and it is really slowing down the pace of this show.
Victor warns Dakota against acting too quickly and I have to wonder what his true plan is. I’m not even sure if we can really trust him anymore even though he cares for Alicia and the others.

“You’re the only one that can help me.”
Finally! Let’s reach out to Alicia for help. Good plan, Victor! It’s been quite some time since we have checked in with our girl Alicia and I have been waiting for her to do something truly spectacular.

Well, after the convoy is attacked, Dakota goes missing and Victor recognizes that he needs to get her back before Virginia realizes what is going on. Alicia is the right one for the job, but she is clearly still pissed at Victor for sending her away.
That being said, an Alicia-centric episode is exactly what we need right now!

“I think this is one big misunderstanding.”
Really? Sure, let’s just make these crazy monster walkers for the fun of it…
While looking for Dakota, Alicia stumbles upon a cabin tucked away from everything with Charlie. Alicia goes in alone and I loved the horror vibes going on here. Can we get Alycia Debnam-Carey in a horror movie asap? Seriously, she has so much final girl potential and then some!

Alicia spies on a man who is performing some kind of weird experiments on walkers, but is injected with something before she can get out of there. When she wakes up, she is restrained, but our clever girl is able to get out of any situation.
We learn that Dakota is there and wants to stay there, but I’m not sure that this stranger can really be trusted…
We get some retro music going on and a game of chess, but appearances can be deceiving…watch out, Alicia!

“Do we have a deal?”
Alicia recognizes an opportunity here and decides to secretly radio over to Virginia. She tells her about Dakota and promises her that she can bring her back safely, but she wants to be able to go free with Charlie.

Virginia accepts, but is Alicia really going to be able to turn Dakota over to her cold-hearted sister?

“I will do whatever it takes.”
Our new stranger decides to summon his “creations” and Alicia is forced to take drastic measures to protect them. Our stranger ends up on the wrong side of the stick and doesn’t last too long when his creations come in to feast on him.
Alicia, Charlie, and Dakota are surrounded, but luckily Morgan makes quite the entrance to help them out.
How does he always have the best timing?

Alicia is shocked to see him and listens to his plan, but does not like it when he says that he is going to trade Dakota to get everyone else back. We also learn that he was the one who attacked the convoy. Alicia understands that Dakota is an innocent in all of this and wants to help her.
We get more issues when Victor gets involved and shows his true colors…or so we think.
Alicia heads off with Dakota, Charlie, and Morgan while Victor pledges his loyalty to Virgnia.
This gives him the chance to see what she has been hiding and we learn that Grace is being kept there. It’s safe to say that she is going to use Grace to draw Morgan out, but we’ll have to see how this unfolds when the second half of the season releases in 2021.
I thought that this episode wasn’t bad and I loved some of the twisted horror elements, but Fear TWD needs to take a step back and realize that it is skipping around way too much between its characters.
After watching this episode, I realized how much I have missed seeing Alicia and this show needs to use its strengths moving forward if it wants to continue to entertain us.
Don’t let me down! See you in 2021 Fear TWD fans!
