35 thoughts I had watching Fear The Walking Dead season 6 episode 10, Handle with Care

If you thought that things were going to calm down on Fear The Walking Dead season 6 after June took care of the Virginia problem in last week’s episode, you definitely haven’t been paying attention. This group is fractured, and the bonds between them are stretched to the absolute limit.

Virginia is gone, but she wasn’t the only threat out there. Now the splintered factions must find out as much as they can about the mysterious group who keeps spray painting messages and attacked Tank Town. And in the meantime, each settlement must figure out what they want their future to be and who should be included in that future.

So it won’t be a surprise that “Handle With Care” isn’t exactly a happy episode, even though it’s not as grim as the first two episodes of season 6B have been. Ruben Blades’ Daniel Salazar takes the focus of this episode and it’s great to see some of the people who were in the background in the first half of the season getting a chance to shine.

The synopsis for Fear The Walking Dead season 6 episode 10, “Handle With Care,” says:

"“A threat worse than Virginia is on the horizon. Morgan calls for unity, and invites all survivors to his settlement; tasking Daniel to keep the peace. However, Daniel will need to face his own challenge in hopes of protecting his friends.”"

And now let’s get into it. These are 35 non-spoilery reactions I had watching Fear The Walking Dead season 6 episode 10, “Handle With Care”:
