‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Season 2, Episode 9: Where Did The Abigail Go?
Episode 9 of AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead saw a group of characters return to the Abigail. Unfortunately, it appears the sea vessel has gone missing. So, what happened to Strand’s boat?
Spoiler alert: This article discusses Season 2, Episode 9 (entitled “Los Muertos”) of AMC’s Fear The Walking Dead. Please proceed with caution if you wish to avoid spoilers.
In Episode 9 of Fear the Walking Dead, Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) convinced Madison (Kim Dickens) to return to his boat, the Abigail, rather than continue looking for her son, Nick (Frank Dillane). After all, they were nearly out of gas, and the Abigail is a reliable source of clean drinking water. However, when they finally returned to the ship, they discovered it missing.
According to Fear‘s showrunner, Dave Erickson, the Abigail is just like any character in Fear the Walking Dead, if you didn’t see what happened, there is a chance she will turn up again.
“The Abigail is like a character that sort of disappears. We did not see her run aground, we did not see her sink, so there is always a possibility that she could reappear,” Erickson told Entertainment Weekly.
Strand suspected the military took the Abigail. This is entirely possible as, earlier in Season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead, when Nick returned to shore on a mission for Strand, the military appeared to be out in force over the water. A vessel like the Abigail, that can convert sea water to clean drinking water, could be a valuable resource to the military.
In fact, it would be a valuable resource to anyone who saw the Abigail and realized this. So, while the military might have taken the Abigail, it is just as likely to be a random person, or group, wandering past, looking for a safe haven.
However, fans of Fear the Walking Dead also know that some of the characters the core group met up with while at sea might be more likely to have taken the ship.
Season 2 of AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead returns Sunday, September 4, with Episode 10 (entitled “Do Not Disturb”) at 9 p.m. ET.
The official synopsis for Episode 10 of Fear the Walking Dead is below.
“Travis struggles to connect with Chris while searching for shelter. Meanwhile, Alicia meets a lonely woman with a bloody past.”
