Ranking the top 5 moments from “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 episode 13: “Hard to get Bigger than That”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 13, I realized that “together we can get from yesterday to tomorrow,” but what happens when that concept of togetherness starts to break off into separate pieces? Sometimes we are forced to stand alone in order to protect what we believe in, but is it truly possible to keep that sense of togetherness going when there is always something or someone threatening its potential? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “Leave What You Don’t,” we get a glimpse into Logan’s past, while Sarah tries to make things right in the present. Meanwhile, Alicia and Victor attempt to help a girl in need and end up getting some unexpected assistance. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 13 are:

“Maybe you’ll actually remember what you used to believe.”

In this episode, we learn a little bit more about Logan and take a peek into his past. We witness Logan as “Desert Fox” trying to reach Clayton (Polar Bear) when a young woman asks for help at a truck stop by mile marker 65. Clayton doesn’t respond and Logan does his best to make it there in time, but his truck runs out of gas. Logan goes the rest of the way on foot and tries to keep the woman over the Walkie hopeful, but he is forced to listen to her get torn apart by walkers and is too late.

Logan is devastated and it’s clear that this is the moment that broke his vision about helping others. When Logan tries to take over the oil field in the present, he tells Luciana that he does remember, but that it’s all about survival of the fittest now. I thought this glimpse into Logan’s past was necessary, but we still didn’t get a concrete answer on what his new vision is now, telling Luciana and the others that they wouldn’t be able to handle it and now I’m not sure we’ll ever know…

“What’s the point of having gas if we can’t use it to help people?”

A valid point for sure, Alicia, but I have to say that Alicia is getting quite good at painting those trees and I happen to like the phoenix design as well! Alicia and Victor get a call over the radio from a woman trapped in a truck stop. When they try to reach out to some of their friends, it seems like everyone is off doing their own thing, which means we probably have some more filler episodes coming our way to fill in those blanks…except we are getting pretty close to the end of the season.

Either way, Alicia and Victor try to make it in time, but will they be able to save her?

“I figured I should pay it forward.”

After Alicia and Victor run out of gas, it looks like the girl at the truck stop is not going to make it, but luckily Wes is there to save the day! Yay! Remember Wes?

Well it looks like Alicia had an impact over him after all, as he hears the call over the radio and tries to do his part. Oh and he likes the phoenix too so it looks like there may be some sparks flying between him and Alicia.

I was really interested in Wes’s character when we first met him and I’m happy that he had a change of heart. I’m looking forward to finding out more about him and it looks like the kindness of the group is spreading, but is it enough?

“We help people. They help people. Hard to get bigger than that.”

So I’ve been a fan of Sarah for a while now and she is always the one to break the tension with some humor, but she really showed us a different side in this episode and I thought it was really important for her character development. Logan reminded Sarah that she was the reason why this all happened because she left Clayton to die when she stole his truck and that’s why he never answered Logan on the radio.

Sarah explains that she thinks about that every single day and she truly tries to make amends when she goes back to save Logan when the walkers start crashing the party, literally falling right into the oil fields one by one. While I love Sarah’s humor, I really enjoyed seeing this other side of her and it honestly made me like her that much more.

“That sounds like a deal to me…”

Everything comes full circle for Logan when he realizes that the girl Alicia is trying to help is also at the truck stop at mile marker 65 and he thinks that the only answer is for her to use the one bullet left in his gun to end it all. When Wes shows up to save her, Logan has a change of heart and I was starting to think that everyone was going to start singing Kumbaya or something. Fear not; however, as we do get a necessary twist.

Logan tells his people to put his guns down, but he gets shot and killed, along with the rest of his followers. We meet a new group, the Pioneers, led by a woman named Virgina…although apparently you can call her Ginny. Logan encountered these ladies on horseback in his past, but they show up with perfect timing to shake things up. Virginia explains that Logan was no longer essential and says that she has been paying attention to what our group has been doing, revealing that she thinks they can help each other.

Before things get too crazy, Luciana volunteers as tribute and offers to stay behind to make the gas for them. So who are the Pioneers?

I’m not really sure what to make of this new group of villains just yet, but it’s about time something happened. What are YOUR theories on this new group? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 episode 10: “Candy Beansies”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 10, I realized that sometimes knowing the truth isn’t necessarily better. We need to hold on to the belief that there is a tomorrow and make every day truly count. Whether that means following through on a promise or making someone smile, there are endless possibilities to make our days truly meaningful. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “210 Words Per Minute,” Morgan and Grace try to help someone named Chuck and wind up on an extreme escalator adventure at a shopping mall. Meanwhile, Dwight goes off on a dangerous mission of his very own and Morgan makes a tough decision. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 10 are:

“We’re not doing careful. We’re doing right.”

That may be, but Dwight seems to be a little bit more worried about Logan and his men than Morgan. Dwight has been there before with the Saviors and realizes that Logan and his people may not see the good they are trying to do, but Morgan is going to keep helping others no matter what.

We know that Logan wants gas and he wants to find out where the oil fields are, but we still don’t understand his full agenda just yet. We’ve had a lot of setup for Logan and I’m anxious to find out what he truly has planned for our favorite characters.

“Someone gave me a second chance and it’s the same chance I’m giving you.”

Dwight decides to head off on his own mission and anticipates that one of Logan’s men will follow him. Dwight doesn’t get too much information out of the man, but things get a little intense when the man starts burning one of Sherry’s letters. Dwight could have easily taken a route of revenge here, but he gives the man a chance instead and decides to let him go, proving that he is really taking a leap of faith here.

Is it the right call? I’m not so sure, but I think this was an important step for Dwight as a character and you can tell that he is truly trying to change. Sometimes you just need to take one step at a time, but I’m curious to see what Dwight does next. I’m really glad he is getting the opportunity to shine on Fear TWD, similar to Morgan.

“Give me the chance to do something real while I can.”

So, I have been interested in Grace’s character for a while now and I’m really glad that we finally got the chance to learn more about her in this episode. Morgan agrees to help Grace get to the Urgent Care in the shopping mall so that she can determine how sick she is after she faints in the beginning of the episode. This leads to some beyond adorable moments between these two, as we actually get to witness Morgan smile!

Morgan is amused that Grace thinks jelly beans are called “candy beansies,” but he also has a blast using a remote control car to lure away the walkers in the mall. After initially hesitating, Morgan does open up, sharing some stories about his son and his own remote control car and Grace talks about her past as well. It’s hard to deny the spark forming between these two, but is Morgan truly ready to embrace a chance at happiness for himself?

“It’s perfect…”

After an intense close call with the walkers on the escalator, Morgan and Grace discover that Chuck is still alive. Chuck made it to the rooftop, just wanting to see the stars one last time and Grace is able to make that happen with a projection since it is a cloudy night. Chuck thinks it is perfect and is beyond grateful that they answered his call for help.

This moment was important because you could truly see that what Morgan and the others are doing matters. This moment also impacts Grace, as she realizes that every single day counts and perhaps she doesn’t have to be scared of starting something she may not be able to finish after all. Although, listening to A Tale of Two Cities in its entirety is quite the challenge.

“That’s being alive…really alive.”

After the encounter with Chuck, Grace realizes that she doesn’t want to find out how sick she is and decides that she is “just going to believe there’s more than today.” Morgan reminds her how brave she is and the two of them share a beyond sweet moment together on the carousel. I have to say that this may be one of my favorite moments on the show, as Morgan finally lets go and reveals a glimmer of happiness.

Only later on, Morgan realizes that perhaps he isn’t ready to move on and decides to head off to find Al instead of going along with Grace. Is it because he still feels guilty over his wife and son or is it because he feels that he simply doesn’t deserve a chance at happiness right now? I’m not sure, but when Morgan drives away with tears in his eyes, I was crying my eyes out. So incredibly heartbreaking!

Is there any hope for Morgan and Grace? I’m not so sure, but I thought this was a really touching episode. Oh and PS, Dwight getting a haircut from Daniel was everything! Stay tuned!
