1- How does the episode begin? The episode begins with Jake making his way to the Black Hat Reservation over very rocky terrain and then, Alicia finally catching up with him. We are then led immediately into the scene from the promo at the gas station on the reservation. You can hear a bunch of yelling, and then, Walker emerges wearing a bloody apron and holding a sword. He then drops his apron and a bloody head of a pig drops to the ground. Jake and Alicia are just in time for dinner!

2- What happens when Jake arrive to talk with Walker? Jake immediately puts on his lawyer hat and tries to negotiate with Walker, but that only seems to piss Walker off. Walker also mentions Russ Brown and Vernon Trimbol, and that's when Jake tells him that Russ Brown died in fire. Then, Alicia tells him that Vernon Trimbol's entire family is dead and that Walker killed them. Walker seemed legitimately surprised, and that was the beginning of Alicia having doubts.

3- What does Alicia do? Does she follow Jake? Yes, she follows him and they go to the reservation together. Also, when Jake finally gets Walker to work on a parley, Alicia agrees to stay behind at the reservation, while Ofelia goes back with Jake to deliver Walker's message to Jeremiah Otto.

4- How do Madison and the Ottos realise that Jake and Alicia went to Walker? Jeremiah Otto is the one who really figures it out. He can't find Jake anywhere, and then, when he finds out from Madison that Alicia is also nowhere to be found, they put two and two together. Madison wants to go and find them, but Jeremiah says absolutely not. He can't afford another search party.

5- What is the reaction when Alicia sees Ofelia ? Alicia is royally pissed. She screams at Ofelia that she almost got her killed, and then, took off and stole their truck. She almost got everyone killed when the hotel was overrun.

6- Is there a fight? They want to kill anyone? Yes. Madison is adamant that they try and rescue Alicia, and convinces Troy by using her secret about his killing the Trimbols. So, they ambush Walker's camp, take Alicia and kill several of Walker's men in the process. Jake then tries to smooth things over by honoring the parley, returning Ofelia and delivering what Walker asked for -- their entire reserves of bottled water. But, Walker is done negotiating and decides to scalp Jake. However, Ofelia stops him at the very last minute.

7- Anybody dies? If so, who? Several of Troy's militiamen.

8- 10. How does the episode end? It ends with Troy's militiamen being poisoned and several of them dying, reanimating and then, killing others. In the final moments of the episode, Nick also falls to the ground, obviously poisoned like the rest of the militia.

9- Who cuts Nick's hair or why does he do that? He does it after he officially joins the militia, so as to fit in better.
*********************************************************
BONUS:

It's Ofelia who poisoned the militia! After Walker sends Jake back to the ranch, Ofelia is dumped there as well, badly beaten. She claims that Walker did it because he thought she gave them information about the reservation. It's all a trick. Jeremiah decides to let her stay and gives her a job as a cook, and she poisons the coffee she gives to the night watchmen (however, to her credit, she didn't know it would kill them and neither did Walker. It was only supposed to make them sick).

It is NEVER revealed to Madison or anyone else at the ranch that Jeremiah found Ofelia in the desert and left her to die. In fact, when Ofelia arrives (the first time, not after she is beaten), she is locked up, and Jeremiah visits her. He basically threatens her to force her to keep her mouth shut about what happened in the desert.

Madison's pretty pissed. Especially since Alicia is left behind at Walker's reservation. Nick doesn't have much a reaction, but he is the one who spots Ofelia sneaking out when the militiamen start dropping like flies and puts it together that she's the one who did it.

Walker is NOT a villain.

1. How does the episode begin? It begins with a flashback. Ofelia is walking and someone starts shoting at her and she takes cover. Jeremiah is the man who does it. Jeremiah tells her there’s no place for her at the ranch. He leaves her. She has to walk a lot, she is exhausted and starts imaging things, she even sees and hears Daniel and then passes out.

2. How does Ofelia end up with Walker and his men? A rider finds her when she is in the ground and brings her to the Blackhat Reservation. The man is Walker. He gives her all she need to be comfortable.

3. What happens after they get poisoned? They are being treated and Nick has fever. Actually, Madison is the one who tells everybody that Ofelia poisoned the coffee. In fact, Madison confronts Walker and he tells her it was Anthrax and there’s no cure. Walker tells her to take her family out of the ranch or they will die.

4. Do we get to know more about Walker and Jeremiah past? Yes. Nick goes to the adobe house and open the floor where Jeremiah shot. After that, Nick shows Jeremiah that he found a skull. Jeremiah tells him that Phil, Russ, Vernon and him fought against the Native Americans. They killed walker’s father, walker’s uncle and other native americans. Then, the founders buried them under that house.

5. Is there a discussion between the Clarks? Yes. Nick confess to Alicia that they hide the truth about Troy killing the Vernon family and Alicia explodes. She says to Madison: You are heartless!

6. Does anyone die? If so, who? Madison goes to talk to Jeremiah to make peace. He is drinking in his house and Madison takes out her gun. She wants him to kill himself because “If you don’t, everyone will die.” He doesn’t want to do it and becomes unruly and threatening to Madison, and that’s why Nick comes and shoots Jeremiah in the head. He was drunk and belligerent, and so, Nick basically becomes Madison in that story of when she was a young girl. (See the bonus) -- he protects his mother from a dangerous drunk.

7. What happens with Strand? He is on the beach and sees Abigail. There are walkers on it but he kills them all. The yact doesn’t look good so he opens the last bottle of champagne and says: “It’s good to be home.” But, he hears someone on the radio. It’s a russian cosmonaut in space. They talk but then he loses the signal.

8. What happens at the end of the episode? They prepare him for burial. But, Madison late at night go to the box. The next morning she carries a backpack to the gate and hands it to Walker. It is Jeremiah’s head. Bringing Jeremiah's head to Walker was the one term in the peace agreement Madison made with Walker. That is, if Jeremiah dies and she brings his head to her, the war will end. However, in episode 7, Walker explicitly stated he wanted both Jeremiah and "the youngest son" dead. In other words, he's also got a beef with Troy, and I suspect until Troy is dead, they truly won't have peace.

BONUS:
Madison tells a story about a Little girl in Montgomery and her father was a politician that everyone loved, but he was an alcoholic who beat her mother all the time. One day, the Little girl took his gun and shot him while he was sleeping. After she tells the story, she tells Nick and Alicia that after she did it, her mother looked at her with the same shock that they are looking at her now. But, she could live with that because she’d do anything to protect her mother.

Troy is the only one who cries for Jeremiah.

After Ofelia poisons the militiamen and Madison beats the crap out of her, she takes Ofelia back to the Black Hat Reservation at gunpoint. She threatens to kill Ofelia unless Walker tells her what he poisoned them with. That's when he tells her anthrax and asks how old her son is. She says 19, and then, Walker indicates he'll probably live since he's so young. Ofelia never leaves the Black Hat Reservation after that.

Strand set the Abigail on fire, and then he packed some stuff and left.

Is there the possibility of getting an actual spoiler section for Fear?

Putting the spoilers in the same thread as the episodes can lead to temptation for some folks.
