"If I get rid of them, then we don't get the truth about Chris. Or I know, I suspect, and I don't tell Travis? Isn't it his right to know?"
Madison Clark

Ofelia manages to successfully reach the American border. In Tijuana, Nick attempts to convince the bandits not to attack the community, but their leader, Marco, explains to him that he knows how they get in and out of the Colonia, using the walkers as their army, and leaves him with an ultimatum: abandon the community or he and his men will slaughter everybody.

To demonstrate his resolve, Marco shows Nick the executed corpses of Francisco and his family. Nick then returns and warns Luciana about the impending attack and asks her to leave with him. However, Luciana is still adamant in Alejandro's ability to protect them. Frustrated, Nick forces Alejandro to admit that he's not actually immune to the infection, and that he had been using his medical experience to merely suppress the symptoms.

At the hotel, the tourists are let in, and Madison recognizes them based on Travis' description. The tourists anger the rest of the refugees and are about to be thrown out of the hotel when Travis stops them and asks what happened to Chris. The tourists explain that Chris accidentally crashed their truck and was killed by the impact.

However, several inconsistencies in their stories lead Travis to conclude that Chris was only injured in the crash and was killed by the tourists. Enraged, Travis beats the tourists to death and severely injures Oscar who tries to stop him.


Tropes:

  • Eye Scream: Nick kills the walker at Alejandro's infirmary by digging both his thumbs into the walker's eyes, with plenty of blood spilling out.
  • Fingore: A female infirmary worker has part of her left middle finger bitten off by a freshly turned walker.
  • Nasal Trauma: An infirmary patient loses his nose by that same walker.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: After finding out how Chris truly died, Travis completely goes apeshit on Brandon and Derek, killing the two in the process.
  • Oh, Crap!: In flashbacks, Chris panics when he sees Brandon and Derek coming towards him with a shotgun, knowing full well what will happen to him due to his shattered leg.
  • Spotting the Thread: Travis starts to get suspicious about Brandon's and Derek's story about Chris. This was due to the two boys saying that Chris flew out of the car after he crashed it, which was followed by them dragging him out of the car. These two facts contradict each other due to the location of Chris' body, post-crash, being different.
  • The Reveal:
  • Unstoppable Rage: Travis loses it after Brandon and Derek confess to Chris' murder, pummeling them to death.
  • Wham Line: Three of them in this episode.
    • Nick has been suspicious of Alejandro after having been bitten by a walker and claiming that he is protected from zombification. So, as Nick confronts Luciana and Alejandro about his suspicions, the latter finally speaks up.
      Alejandro: I am not immune.
    • Brandon and Derek have finally revealed Chris' fate; namely, that he crashed their car and instantly died from going through the windshield, driving the two to pull him out. But Travis casts doubt on this story with one simple line.
    • Immediately afterwards, Travis threatens Brandon and Derek with violence, so that they can tell the real truth about Chris.
      Brandon: All right, we did it. We killed him. All right, we put him down. We had to.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Marco reveals to Nick and Reynaldo that he did not hesitate to murder Francisco's entire family, which included a little girl.

"TRAVIS! PLEASE, STOP IT!"
