Damage from the Inside

A convoy of rangers escorting Dakota to safety is attacked and killed, leaving Strand and a ranger named Samuels as the only survivors. Strand enlists Alicia and Charlie's help in finding Dakota, who they locate in an old hunting lodge occupied by a taxidermist named Ed, who has increased walkers around his horned lodge to scare people. Alicia contacts Virginia and offers to trade Dakota for her freedom, intending to retake the stadium, but Ed becomes angry, lures the walkers, and refuses to let them go.

During a fight, Alicia accidentally impales him on antlers and sacrifices himself to the approaching walkers. Morgan appears and helps Alicia eliminate the walkers, but he intends to trade Dakota for the rest of his people, leading to an argument when Alicia realizes that Morgan attacked the convoy. Morgan agrees to take Dakota with them to the place he is building, but Strand refuses to come and stays with Virginia and the Pioneers. Virginia brings Strand to Grace, visibly pregnant, and tells him that she wants him to get everyone she took from Humbug's Gulch.

David S.E. Zapanta from Den of Geek! gave it a negative rating of 1.5 out of 5 ratings and wrote: "The last time I struggled to write a review for Fear the Walking Dead was the season 4 finale, "... I Lose Myself." I wrote at the time, 'Several false starts and a couple thousand words later, I realized I wasn’t writing a review for a lackluster episode. Rather, I was writing a eulogy for a show I once loved.'"[1]
