In this episode; FLIGHT 462 finally crosses over into FEAR THE WALKING DEAD and we see what happened after the crack in the window gave out on the plane. As the plane headed to LA to emergency land; the plane crashed over the ocean and only few survived the ordeal.
In the aftermath of the crash we quickly see a familiar face and Alex is searching frantically for Jake in the carnage and she finds him but he’s been badly burned in the crash. Others survivors have found the inflatable raft and are collecting survivors but not just any survivor; ones who have not been bit. One of the survivors get pulled into the raft but one of the others see that he’s been bitten and hits him in the head with his paddle, knocking him out of the raft. There was no hesitation, no talking about it and he quickly made the decision. Straight up savage but it’s necessary to keep them alive and safe. They are at least aware that the bite causes people to become one of the infected and it’s to big of a risk to have anyone who will turn.
As they paddle away from the wreckage pieces of plane and bodies are scattered all around; becoming a huge watery grave. Jake’s wounds look pretty bad and Alex is taking care of him and keeping his burns clean. In a way she feels responsible for Jake’s mother not being on the flight since she got the last seat and is taking care of him and protecting him to make up for it. The other survivors are grim about the situation and don’t think he’ll make it and doubt Alex can help him. They are worried he’ll turn into one of the infected and put them all in danger.
It turns to night and everyone is asleep except the guy who has no problem with eliminating threats. He goes to take out Jake with the paddle but Alex is prepared and stabs him instinctively in the chest with a knife and they throw him off the raft. And then there were three. The other survivor is hopeless and is trying to convince Alex to go to shore for shelter and food. He starts to paddle and says he doesn’t want to starve but she stops him an says he would be to weak and wouldn’t make it past the beach. She owes him and won’t let anything happen to him. He tells her that he needs to be put out of his misery because he’s burnt to the bone and is rotting. It’s what’s best for him and she has to do it but she won’t. With all the strength Jake has he says to Alex “it’s OK” he knows he is a burden but she isn’t ready to do it.
Strand is anxious and quickly calls his mystery person but they don’t pick up right away but when they do, he assures them he’s still coming and speaks in code but is then disconnected.
Travis can’t sleep and Madison notices and she asks if he’s “here” (meaning present and not thinking about other things) there’s not much time for couples to express emotions and feelings while escaping infected trying to eat you or pirates who want you dead. These two always seem to find the time to have “sexy time” but unluckily for them it was stopped due to a loud sound coming from the engine room.
