Slowly but surely things seem to be getting exciting with “Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462”. Have the suspicions about the identity of the mysterious patient now been confirmed? Here is episode 4 for you!
In “Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462” the zombie apocalypse is viewed from a completely different perspective - from the air! So we find ourselves on board flight number 462 on the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where we meet passengers like young Drake, who has to fly alone due to overbooking while his mother stayed behind at the airport. Also noticeable so far were the young Asian woman in the front row, who apparently knows more than she admits, the knitting older lady next to Drake, the stewardess and especially the couple in the row next to the Asian woman, where the man was initially completely panicked rumbled around after hearing about flight cancellations, until at some point he was just “talking” to his bag. It is important to remember all of these people again, especially since we will see one of them again in the upcoming second season of “Fear The Walking Dead”!
After we were able to watch the blustering gentleman spitting in episode 2, the suspicion now seems more than confirmed that he is most likely the mysterious “Patient Zero”! Our protagonist's stomach ailment doesn't seem to be getting any better and so, under the shocked looks of the other passengers, the guy resolutely makes his way through the plane to get to the toilet as quickly as possible. The young Asian woman watches him very closely - and in the subsequent conversation we find out why! “He has heartburn,” the wife initially explains dismissively, before the young Asian woman asks her directly: “How long has your husband been sick?” The still unmoved wife then replies: “My husband is not sick! I told you it was just his heartburn. His whole family has…” But she can barely say it before the young woman answers her with a serious look: “That doesn’t seem to be an indigestion to me…” – “Are you a doctor?” the wife replies in a slightly condescending manner, whereupon The young Asian woman doesn't say anything in return, which is why she follows up with: "Then mind your own shit..."
Things get really interesting when the young woman looks at Drake without saying a word. After initially taking a careful look in the direction of the toilets, he finally asks her with a slightly worried expression: “Do you think that’s the flu that’s going around?” Instead of an answer, he only gets a slight, worried twitch at the corner of her mouth, but the answer is clear... Well, in the fourth of a total of 16 episodes we seem to be “finally” confronted with concrete facts! Now, of course, it remains exciting to see whether or when and, above all, how our “patient” gets out of the toilet again... Will the plane still be in the air? And who will be his first victim? Maybe his own wife? Or the stewardess? Hopefully we'll find out more about this in the next episode!
