![]() In fact, the signs that things are not as they appear are everywhere: A wild boar is locked in a room, a bottle of knock-off Pappy Van Winkle is stashed in a desk, and there’s a creepy pile of Bibles with pages torn out. So when they happen upon an abandoned warehouse that wasn’t marked on the map, it seems too good to be true. They’ve been on the road for two weeks now with nothing to show for it. ![]() Gabe isn’t interested in detective work (at least not yet). ![]() Earlier he found a bullet casing on the ground, and we see at least one body with a hole in its skull. At a convenience store mobbed with zombies, Gabe finds a sad sight on the roof - two more corpses locked in eternal embrace, and a groaner tied up nearby. Father Gabe is cleansed, amen!) But otherwise, it’s one depressing tableau after the next. (Gotta love a fortuitous flash storm to wash away all that grime.

Instead of a house that might hold supplies, they find only rubble and the charred skeletal remains of what appears to be two adults and a child holding each other. ![]() (“Blood on a Dandelion” sounds like the title of one of Beta’s albums.) They’re in search of food and coming up empty in the worst way. There’s Gabe and A-Aaron, out here in these woods covering grasshoppers and all manner of flora with plasma. My skepticism meter was off the charts as the opening scenes of this episode unfolded. ![]()
