![]() Morgan and Dakota, meanwhile, try to convince John to join in Morgan’s new outpost and help them fight off Virginia. They hide long enough for the ranger to wander away. One of those rangers makes his way into the store, but John can’t bring himself to kill him. There, he finds Morgan and Dakota hiding from the rangers that Virginia had sent to track down her sister. ![]() John eventually decides to put aside his suicide for a moment and head back to the general store. Unable to cope with the weight of his past, John had decided to return to the cabin where he met June to take his own life, but each time he brings his gun up to his mouth to pull the trigger, he’s interrupted by another walker ambling onto his property. The episode begins with John Dorie (Garrett Dillahunt) back in his old cabin, having separated from June. By the end of the episode, the series had killed off its (arguably) best character. In fact, in the first half of the episode, I was ruminating about how much Fear had improved without sacrificing any characters, which proved to be an unfortunately ominous thought. It’s been a long time since a beloved character has died on Fear the Walking Dead (Madison in the fourth midseason finale). Instead, the episode, “The Door,” will go down as one of the most devastating episodes in the history of The Walking Dead universe, and one of the best in years. It works as effectively, however, as a midseason premiere, and it’s that kind of episode that would have been infuriating had it not been so beautifully executed. This week’s midseason premiere of Fear the Walking Dead was originally meant to be the midseason finale before it was so rudely interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and wow! What a midseason finale it would have been. ![]() (SPOILERS for the Midseason Premiere of Fear the Walking Dead will be found below.)
