Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 8, I realized that if you haven’t seen a whole lot of good lately, you could have some coming your way, but nothing is ever guaranteed when you are trying to survive during the zombie apocalypse. Even when all hope seems to be lost, you need to find a reason to live and when you find that reason…hold on to it as long as you can! Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.
In last night’s episode, “Is Anybody Out There?” Alicia, Morgan, and Grace deal with a walker horde looking to hitch a ride on their flight. Meanwhile, June makes John a promise, and Sarah and Wendell try to get the runway ready, but run into a few issues of their own. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 8 are:

“You’re going to be OK.”
In the beginning of the episode, Alicia finally gets a break to take a quick hot shower, only it’s to scrub down after being potentially exposed to a radioactive walker. Alicia’s favorite weapon is in the clear, but what about Alicia? Grace tells her that they don’t know yet and they have a bigger problem to worry about now that the alarm has sounded, but it looks like Alicia’s fate has yet to be determined. I’m remaining positive, but I would love to get some confirmation soon that she is in perfect health. Fingers crossed!

“I’m not losing at the game of life!
Even though Sarah is dealing with a lot of pressure trying to get the runway ready for our friends, she keeps the laughs coming. We get to see Logan again in this episode and Sarah asks him for help, but he doesn’t seem too inclined to get involved. Sarah warns him that if he calls her “sweetheart” again, he’s going to get a nice shiner to match the one he already has, but luckily Dan the Man later shows up with perfect timing! As if he is a Christmas miracle himself, he has brought along quite a few strings of Christmas lights for the runway, but will it work? It’s great to see Dan the Man back in action and even Skidmark is super happy to be reunited with him, which was absolutely adorable! More Skidmark screen time when new episodes return please!

“From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew I found my reason to live.”
John and Dwight worry that they might not be able to make it to the plane in time and John radios over to June and asks her to promise him that she will take off whether he is there or not. June does not want to leave without her beloved John, but she does make the promise. It looks like John’s luck hasn’t run out just yet; however, as he finds the car that Sherry left and they make it to the plane with perfect timing.
After John gets on board, he tells June that there are still so many things he wants to tell her and he proposes to June using one of his hard candy wrappers, which was so incredibly beautiful and romantic. Of course June says yes and I was literally jumping up and down cheering for these two. Against all odds, these two continue to give me hope and I can’t get enough of them. Somehow I feel like Dan the Man is going to officiate the wedding, but this was such an important moment for these two characters and I continue to ship them together so much!

“We are still standing!”
We have liftoff! Al takes in some nice scenery after they lose the hitchhiking walkers from the back of the plane and fly over the ominous cloud headed straight toward them, but they still have to land the plane successfully. The Christmas light runway is up and running, but Wendell runs into some trouble when a few walkers make their way over to him. Wendell refuses to give up and crawls over to turn the switch back on and the plane is able to land without anyone getting hurt. Luckily Wendell is OK as well and he is the hero of the day for me!
Everyone is surprisingly still standing and we even get a touching moment between Daniel and Alicia, who are finally reunited. Dan the Man also takes a minute to tell Victor that he was wrong and it looks like everything is back to normal for our favorite characters. Only we know that Logan is still lurking around and of course he now shows up to crash the welcome party.

“You’re saying we should trust you?”
Logan is ready to chat with our group and interrupts someone trying to radio over to Morgan for help. Logan shows up in person and explains that they need to actually be able to get to the people they want to help and that they are not going to be able to. Of course Logan has a plan and tells the group that Clayton had a backup plan for this and kept a resource site somewhere else, but the location is in his journal. Luciana perhaps over shares and reveals that they do have the journal and it seems like they are all going to work together to find this mysterious resource location. Logan claims he is trying to make up for what he did, but is he really?
I don’t trust Logan for one second and it seems like he does not get along very well with this other group so I’m not sure that our favorite characters should get involved here, but they won’t be able to help many others if they can’t get to them. Is this a trap? We’ll have to wait and see, but I’m interested to see how this plays out for the second half of the season, as new episodes return August 11th 2019. Also, congrats to Fear TWD for being renewed for season 6! Stay tuned!
