    Spoiler Summary for 506 "The Little Prince"

    ***This summary contains a synopsis of the ENTIRE episode from start to finish. If you do not want to read about the entire episode, skip this post.***

    The group recovers the plane wreckage and brings it back to the truck stop so they can rebuild the plane and fly everyone out of the area. It is Morgan and Alicia's intention to evacuate everyone from the area (the group, the children, and Grace). However, they run into difficulties when rebuilding the engine, and their only functioning propellor is destroyed.

    Grace contacts the truck stop because she needs a generator to help keep the fuel rods cooled down. She has taken the reactor offline but the rods are still too hot and are threatening another melt down. The group gives Grace their generator and Morgan goes with Grave to help her. However Grace only wants Morgan's help to move the car barricades she set up. Once that is done, Grace leaves Morgan behind.

    John and Dwight continue their search for Sherry. Their search takes them back to a location Dwight previously searched. However, this time John spots a faded note and deciphers it. The note is from Sherry. She changed roads because of a storm. So Dwight and John head off to try to find Sherry based on this new information. They locate the car she was driving. It is sitting in front of a house. Dwight rushes in while John searches the car for a possible note. John finds the note Sherry left and reads it. Sherry loves Dwight and doesn't want him to get hurt or die while trying to search for her, so she asks him to stop. This will be her last letter to Dwight. Dwight is excited that he found a small cache of supplies in the house. He feels closer than ever to finding Sherry. He asks John if he found a letter from Sherry in the car and John tells him no.

    Annie and her group take advantage of the comforts the truck stop has to offer. Her group agrees to help the adults rebuild their plane, but Annie refuses to consider leaving with them. She insists they are going to remain in the area. The propellor breaking only confirms Annie's doubts about the adults' plans and she packs up the children and leaves. Before she goes, she talks with Alicia and shares the story about how their camp ground was overrun by radioactive walkers. The adults sent away the kids to protect them and then successfully defended the camp. But the adults became so sick from radiation poisoning they were unable to recover the kids from their hiding spot. It was Annie who returned to the camp and witnessed the aftermath. Her parents, who were still barely alive, wouldn't let her come near them and they tasked her with protecting her brothers and all the other children.

    Strand and his group are still at Daniel's compound, assisting the truck stop group with plane repairs by relaying descriptions of their plane's intact engine and systems. When they are unable to locate any airports with flyable planes, Strand admits he doesn't have a plan to rescue the group at the truck stop. Charlie finds a possible solution on the cover of a magazine that features Augie's Ales. Apparently the brewery owned a hot air balloon. Strand's group retrieves the balloon from the brewery and Victor and Charlie fly the balloon over the mountains. They are carrying the propellor the truck stop group needs to repair their plane. However they crash inside the contaminated area. Morgan sees the balloon going down inside the area and enters the radioactive zone in order to find Strand and Charlie. The episode ends with close ups of the radioactive walkers closing in on Strand and Charlie at the site of the crash.


    The truth is out there

    This show just gets more ridiculous with each episode.

    Based on the above spoilers I would call the episode laughable at best. AMC either needs to end this fiasco and cancel FTWD or if they insist on continuiing, take a year long break, regroup, hire a new showrunner, new team of writers, send Gimple on a decades long eat pray love type of trek that takes him places where wifi is still a far fetched dream, keep Alicia, Dwight, Skidmark and reboot. And even then I would say that the damage done since season 4 makes it all a lost cause.

    It becomes more and more a Disney movie. A bunch of kids surviving on their own, tying zombies and shit to roads, making em look like psycho villians. Al finding love in the wasteland (literally radioactive wasteland area!) from the "bad guys" of this season. This seasons villian is a butthurt trucker that we will barely seen, him and the crazy lady from last season really made for some weak ass villians this far into the combined Walking Dead IP. It is like sending a insane postman who demand to get inside Alexandria while threatening them with a revolver. It be almost as poor of a villian. Maybe that been threatening in Season 1, episode 1 to 4 or something. Repairing the plane? Come on...

    The most unnerving now is Dwights story...I feel sorry for the guy!

    Maybe the soft reboot was not the smartest...

    I would find it much more interesting throwing a typical Walking Dead with Strand and Daniel with Madison and kids going east along with Troy and Taqa. This gang would have so much internal conflict brewing but the growing issues of Proctor and walkers would force to cooperate and slowly be pushed east where they STILL can meet up with Charlie, Morgan and Dwight. Maybe they still find the stadium community. Maybe Madison still dies there but let Nick survive, she sacrifices herself to save her son which she in a way has abandoned or let go way to much. While they save Charlie from the vultures and remove that whole "I do not hate Charlie because I am not bloodthirsty!". Also, let Morgan and Dwight leave at the same time or find EACH others not far from the East Coast/Georgia groups region, have them travel together as two broken men needing something new. As they scavenge and head inland they meet John Dorie looking for June, helping him find her AND finds her! Tied to the Vultures but still, she gets saved and here Morgan can come in with his Buddhist pacifist ways, showing Luciana, Nick, Alicia and Strand that one cano ver come the hatred.

    The two groups coming together over June and Charlie. Together they understand they must move on. Morgan being a mentor for Troy along the road while Dwight sees a chance to find Shelly because John Dorie found June. Keeping his spirit up.

    Eventually a few seasons in they move east and join up with the Rick Hobo Commando crew that is in some desperate need to get help and people that is established and interesting. Let Al have a arch where she hunts for the odd 3 circle crew and with her help and them selling their stories to her, she takes em east where they also shown signs of existing.

    But that is just my example of how they could have tweaked it and kept interesting characters from "pre-soft reboot" in season 3 onward.

    Yeah, thats why I kept them out ;) I have no idea why they added them. They feel more like Z Nation characters. Comedy relief, a guy in a wheel chair that somehow managed to survive outside of a settlement fort this long? And we are shown these after we met Daniel, Strand, Troy, Proctor, Taqa...we get to see these two? Really cold, calculating, crazy or outright dangerous people and then these two. Tara can be annoying at times with her "humorous" personality she got more and more over the seasons (in main show) but Wendell and Sara are....special, a very special case of "Who was drunk and greenlit this?"
