After last week's brilliant episode where Madison and Walker went out to a trading center called El Bazar which was run by a motorcycle gang called The Proctors, Madison did something selfish and it was to pay off Strand's debt. But he told them off the Dam, a place where they have a huge amount of supply of water. Will this episode have the reunion of Madison and Daniel? You guessed right, now only a Salazar family reunion needs to happen. The plot of this episode has one focus and it's Madison, Walker and Strand's mission to secure the deal to get water to the Ranch to save all the people there.
Josef Kubota Wladyka, the director and the writer team really put the Fear and horror back into the show with that sewer sequence. It was suspenseful, even I who have watched this show once before was on the edge of my seat. Great camera work, the angles they used. Simply fantastic. Musical score, sound editing, makeup and special effects department were great.
The writers keeps surprising us in how great the writing are, subtle nods to The Proctors and that is actually a great way for world building. The dialogue is another thing I want to praise, every single bit of dialogue is perfect and mix that with the acting and chemistry we get some fine character interaction. The writer team and Dave Erickson have really made a superb season so far, everything is well thought out and after two seasons of character development a season and story like this works so incredibly well which makes for some great television and that's another reason why I rate this episode so high.
