fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 10 Review
Warning: Contains spoilers for Fear the Walking Dead flavour four episode 10 'Close Your Eyes'.
Only a week after we worried that Morgan was becoming the new lead, Fear the Walking Dead goes ahead and delivers an episode without him in.
'Close Your Eyes' sees Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) determine to take refuge from the tempest in an abased house, only to notice that someone else is already hiding out at that place and it's the person she'd least want to spend fourth dimension with: Charlie (Alexa Nisenson), the girl who killed her brother Nick (Frank Dillane).
And while there aren't whatever flying walkers effectually (although there is an impaled one on a tree), it's a gripping showcase for Debnam-Carey and further proof that she should go Fear's master focus going forward.
The episode largely centres around Alicia'due south struggles to be more than like Madison, which we saw a glimpse of in the midseason premiere equally she tried to save a random stranger. Here though, it'southward an inner battle between what 'former' Alicia would practice and what the 'new' Alicia should do when information technology comes to Charlie.
As she makes abundantly clear during a powerhouse monologue, Alicia wants to kill Charlie to avenge Nick and doesn't trust herself not to, even though she knows that killing Charlie will tarnish the memory of her mum.
"I'm trying to exist like my mum. I'm trying to believe what she believed, do what she did, considering that'south all I have left of her, that'south the only thing that keeps her alive. If I kill you lot... I won't allow y'all take that from me again," she outlines, catastrophe with a cutting remark that Charlie'south murder of Nick has made her a "waste matter of a person".
Equally Alicia comes to realise though, Charlie doesn't want to alive and had planned to kill herself as she's scared of becoming a walker similar her parents did. It all comes to a caput during a tense sequence when the duo are stranded in the flooding basement. Charlie wants Alicia to impale her – "nosotros're not going to make it, you lot know that, and so delight just do information technology" – and it looks like Alicia might just kill her, trying to observe her anger at Charlie by remembering Nick.
Nonetheless, there is no 'The Grove' moment every bit Alicia finds herself unable to impale Charlie and the two are inadvertently saved by the impaled tree walker falling on the locked basement exit. It's here where the episode stumbles somewhat. Sentimentality takes over equally Alicia decides to coffin the walkers she killed in the firm, leaving behind a jar of pictures that Charlie saved "for the people who could come up back".
We're not proverb that we don't understand Alicia's change of heart as information technology's all to do with her trying to be the person her mum became. The issue is that information technology feels like it comes besides suddenly afterwards she's seen coldly immigration out the firm in the opening sequence.
What's more, all hope that Alicia has discovered goes just as chop-chop as she institute it when they get back to the mansion and the schoolhouse bus where they last saw the rest of the group. Both areas are abandoned and destroyed by the storm, leading Alicia to declare: "They're gone. Charlie, things don't go better and they're not going to. They're simply going to get worse."
Information technology'south fortunate that Debnam-Carey is an accomplished plenty performer to make the sudden shifts work. Fifty ike with season iii's standout outing 'This Country Is Your Land', it's clear that when the focus is on Alicia, the bear witness soars, so it'south a shame that the next episode likely won't characteristic her.
The showrunners have said that the 2nd half of flavour four will feature more than episodes similar 'Close Your Optics' focusing on fewer characters. That's fine past us if they can keep the quality up, but they only need to look at The Walking Dead to realise how it can go incorrect if the character focus comes at the expense of forward momentum and plot.
Unlike the Madison mystery in the kickoff half of season 4, we know why Alicia and Charlie found these places abandoned so the cliffhanger isn't as arresting.
At the finish of the midseason premiere, Al and June were investigating why walkers were getting in the river, John and Strand were looking for Charlie and Luciana was chasing after Charlie after finding her at the mansion. As for Morgan, Alicia reveals that she just left him "alone in the tempest, walked away from him" and then he'due south somewhere out there also.
While we're not ruling out a death, the hope is that the next episode won't just be a filler episode that catches us up on what they did during the tempest. If that is the case though, at least in that location might be some flight walkers to go on united states of america entertained.
