Oh, and she meets her daughter, Athena, there \u2014 but not all is as it seems, and the end of the episode provides one of the season\u2019s biggest and most heartbreaking twists (and on Mother\u2019s Day, no less!?).

Not knowing that Grace is her mom, Athena brings her back to Morgan\u2019s community, which is thriving. June (Jenna Elfman) is the community doctor, and Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) is her apprentice; Dwight (Austin Amelio) and Sherry (Christine Evangelista) have a family; Strand (Colman Domingo) and Daniel (Ruben Blades) have set aside their differences; Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) has moved back to the Dell Diamond with Wes (Colby Hollman) and Luciana (Danay Garcia) to start her own group. Sixteen years have passed and all is well.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan is initially suspicious of Grace\u2019s insistence that she\u2019s\u2026well, who she is, but she manages to convince him of her identity by throwing out a few memories only the two of them would have \u2014 like their sweet carousel ride in Season 5. But there\u2019s a good reason Morgan doesn\u2019t recognize his love: In this reality, she died in childbirth. Her daughter, Athena, survived, and the groups set aside their differences to raise her. In a way, Grace\u2019s death, and her child, created the peace that they now have.<\/p>\n<p>Grace doesn\u2019t want to tell Athena she\u2019s her mom, but Morgan suggests they can all go out on a run so mom and daughter can spend some quality time together. And that\u2019s where things go bad. They come across a car with \u201cThe End is the Beginning\u201d painted on it, which explodes \u2014 in the aftermath, Morgan has vanished. Grace starts piecing together what happened to her in the real world as she remembers that car exploding and going unconscious, and she starts being able to hear the real Morgan begging her to come back to him.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_Reality\"><\/span>Back to Reality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Time and events in Grace\u2019s world start running parallel to reality. She can hear Morgan when she puts on her headphones because in the real world, he\u2019s talking to her through them. Walkers appear, mimicking the walkers that surround the vet\u2019s office where Morgan took Grace to escape Riley (Nick Stahl) and his minions. Grace eventually figures out that she needs to go to the vet\u2019s office in her reality to get back to the real Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>Real-Morgan does battle against Riley, who wants the key he has around his neck. This key will allow The End is the Beginning to launch nuclear warheads, thus wiping out everyone who doesn\u2019t \u201csee how they see.\u201d Morgan\u2019s not inclined to hand it over, so they fight \u2014 he kills all of the baddies except Riley, who he wounds by stabbing his stick through his shoulder. Riley runs off, and that seems to be that.<\/p>\n<p>In the dreamscape, Grace and Athena head to the vet. They run into trouble on the road when Riley attacks them, and Grace has a contraction, which causes Athena pain, too. They fight through it, and Grace can\u2019t hide the truth anymore: She tells Athena she\u2019s her mom. They head to their destination on horseback (perks of being in a dream: randomly convenient transportation!). They make it there, but Riley and his minions are there, too, as walkers. They don\u2019t stay down, and all hope seems to be lost \u2014 and then dream-Morgan shows up to save the day!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_997586\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-997586\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-997586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"fear the walking dead season 6 episode 12 lennie james morgan\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FTWD-612-morgan-lennie-james.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-997586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Green\/AMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Only_a_Dream\"><\/span>Only a Dream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the aftermath, the trio has a heart-to-heart, with Grace explaining that she believes she\u2019ll likely die in childbirth and this dream comprises her final moments, but she\u2019s grateful she was able to spend time with her daughter. \u201cI\u2019ll always be with you,\u201d she says and gives Athena a hug. \u201cYou can let go, my angel.\u201d Then she goes through the barn door, seemingly accepting of her fate. This gets her back to the real world, where Morgan is ecstatic to have her back. She tells him she doesn\u2019t think she\u2019ll make it, which of course he doesn\u2019t want to hear, but she tells him it\u2019s all right as long as Athena survives. She records her voice for her daughter on her tape player, and then \u2014 the unexpected happens.<\/p>\n<p>Riley has found a truck, and he crashes it into the barn. Still wounded, he jumps out and points a gun at Grace, demanding Morgan turn over the key or he\u2019ll pull the trigger. Left with no choice, Morgan hands over the key. This marks the first major departure from Grace\u2019s dream world: In that reality, Athena wore the key around her neck.<\/p>\n<p>The second departure is much larger and much more heartbreaking. Grace gives birth, but when Athena enters the world and Morgan catches her, she\u2019s not crying. Grace\u2019s baby is stillborn. She cries as she holds her child, realizing her perfect vision wasn\u2019t representing her final moments: it represented her daughter\u2019s. \u201cIt was only a dream,\u201d Grace sobs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Observations\"><\/span>Other Observations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>James said that this half of the season had some of the best episodes from either show, and I have to believe he was referring to \u201cIn Dreams.\u201d This was one of my favorite episodes since Season 3, which I believe was the best season of <em>Fear the Walking Dead<\/em>. Amazing performances from James and David, a heartbreaking twist, a unique plot\u2026this episode had it all.<\/li>\n<li>That said, in no reality do I believe Strand would leave Alicia. I was shocked to see him still at Morgan\u2019s community \u2014 if Alicia really did leave to form her own group, I think he would go with her unless she specifically asked him not to. (He might even go with her even if she specifically asked him not to.)<\/li>\n<li>The sequence with time rewinding and the same walker appearing and dying, again and again, was so cool. It would\u2019ve been easy to do a traditional \u201cwhat-if?\u201d-type episode, but I\u2019m glad <em>Fear<\/em> went for something a little weirder.<\/li>\n<li>At this point, I\u2019m kind of expecting Althea (Maggie Grace) to leave the show after this season and head to the Rick <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> or <em>World Beyond<\/em>\u2019s second season.
