17. S02xE11 FTWD: Pablo and Jessica

Fear the Walking Dead: A Podcast.
Show episode S02E11. “Pablo and Jessica.”
Podcast episode 17.

     Stephen and Bruce discuss this week's episode, “Pablo and Jessica.” The focus this week is on Nick's integration into the colonia and on Madison, Alicia, and Strand forming a new group with the hotel survivors. Ofelia and Salazar are still missing. Chris and Travis don’t show up either, but we assume they are still with the three American bros.


     This was a good week for the women characters in the episode.  Alicia comes into her own by planning how to eliminate the walkers from the hotel.  Madison brokers an alliance among all the survivors in the hotel, and Luciana finds Nick to be a worthwhile partner both in making supply runs and in her own personal life. Nick uses his drug skills in cutting their drugs to make them last longer in their trades. We also notice the cultural difference between the mostly Mexican colonia and the mostly American hotel residents.  Whereas the colonia keeps their dead close as a kind of moat, the hotel residents see them as an infestation to be eliminated.
