Strand\u2019s sworn off any real human connection, preferring the comfort of material goods like paintings, pasta, and alcohol in his well-stocked tower, but when he sees her necklace, he\u2019s startled. He demands Will take him to where he found it: He claims he took it off a walker.<\/p>\n<p>Well, surprise! That\u2019s not exactly true. After they\u2019re attacked on the road and flee to a dilapidated lighthouse, the truth comes out. Will was a part of Alicia\u2019s bunker community for a period of time since he was technically there first (he and the senator he worked for were in the bunker before John Glover\u2019s Teddy took it over). As Will tells Strand, he was kicked out for refusing to go along with a plan that would\u2019ve \u201csaved everyone but [Alicia].\u201d He thought that if he brought Strand back to her, Alicia might let him return to the community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1018232\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1018232\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1018232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Colman Domingo as Victor Strand, Fear the Walking Dead Season 7, Episode 1\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-will-2.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1018232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauren \u201cLo\u201d Smith\/AMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As it turns out, everyone but Alicia might\u2019ve desperately needed saving. Fog rolls in, and the lighthouse is surrounded by walkers \u2014 walkers Will knows were once a part of the bunker group. For all Strand claims that he no longer cares about people, he certainly seems rattled by the possibility that Alicia could be gone. Will, working with a knowledge of mechanics, manages to get the beacon lit so that Strand can fight the dead and determine if Alicia is among them. The light eventually goes out, because something has to go wrong with their plan, but both Strand and Will stick around. They both care enough about Alicia to figure out if she\u2019s there. But, she\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, something went very wrong at the bunker, so that\u2019s their next stop. They head to the hotel where they were once taking shelter, only to find it devoid of life. \u201cIt\u2019s a ghost town,\u201d Strand observes. But they do find a few clues. There\u2019s a note from Alicia addressed to Will that simply says, \u201cPadre,\u201d and although Strand prods him for information, the most he can get from Will is that its representative of Alicia\u2019s hope for the future and her belief that they can restore things to the way they used to be. They also find a mural she painted on the wall, which appears to be her staring after a walker as it shuffles into the distance. Weird? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1018230\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1018230\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1018230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Colman Domingo as Victor Strand, Fear the Walking Dead Season 7, Episode 1, Omid Abtahi as Howard\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fear-the-walking-dead-season-7-episode-1-strand-colman-domingo-2.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1018230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauren \u201cLo\u201d Smith\/AMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>From the reverent way Will talks about her, Strand makes an accurate guess: Will is in love with Alicia. As he tells Will once they\u2019re safely back at his tower with the beacon from the lighthouse moved there and lit, Strand loves her, too. \u201cShe\u2019s the closest thing I have left to family,\u201d he says. But the discussion then takes a nasty turn. Strand tells him he can\u2019t afford to love anymore because if he wants to keep his community thriving, he must avoid the affection-related pitfalls that befell the other leaders he once followed. He has no desire to find Alicia; instead, he wants to keep her away.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, he shoves Will off the top of the tower. \u201cShe won\u2019t want anything to do with me after this!\u201d he yells as Will falls. He\u2019s killed on impact with the pavement, and a horde of the dead, like moths to a flame, are drawn to his corpse. Howard (Omid Abtahi) makes the point that the light might draw others from Strand\u2019s group in, but the leader won\u2019t hear anything of it \u2014 he believes his moat of the dead will protect him.<\/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>I knew I would enjoy villain-Strand, and I do. It\u2019s clear that Domingo is having fun with the role, and this arc for his character feels genuine and earned. While I don\u2019t think he\u2019s the season\u2019s \u201cbig bad\u201d \u2014 there are still the \u201cStalkers\u201d who are taking everything from the dead \u2014 having him break bad was an excellent choice.<\/li>\n<li>But wouldn\u2019t the walkers just wander away in the daylight, once something else distracts them? Strand\u2019s going to have to have people working to keep the walkers around. Or he\u2019s going to have to fence them in.<\/li>\n<li>Last season, <em>Fear<\/em> killed off bounty hunter Emile (Demetrius Grosse) in the first episode, and this season, Will. I was starting to like his character, so that\u2019s a bummer. Also, not that Alicia needs a love interest, but I was rooting for him. Thanks for nothing, <em>FTWD<\/em> writers!<\/li>\n<li>Inside Alicia\u2019s bunker, it looked to me like there was a tree like the one in Teddy\u2019s bunker, but this one didn\u2019t have a walker attached to it. Wonder if that was Alicia\u2019s choice, or if Teddy\u2019s followers put it up and she just let it be there?<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m betting the \u201cStalkers\u201d are somehow tied to what happened to Alicia\u2019s people.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rating: 4\/5.<\/strong> There\u2019s still some clunky dialogue here and there, and at this point in the apocalypse, people really shouldn\u2019t be getting sneak-attacked by walkers. But overall, this was a fun episode that definitively took Strand in a direction his character seemed to be heading in for seasons. I can\u2019t wait to see what he does next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Fear the Walking Dead<\/em> Season 7, Sundays, 9\/8c, AMC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
