53 thoughts I had watching Fear The Walking Dead season 6 episode 12, In Dreams
By Sonya Iryna
If anyone thought that Fear The Walking Dead season 6 was going to give fans a moment to breathe between now and the end of this incredible season, the latest installment, titled “In Dreams” proves that’s not going to happen. Though the episode starts out calmly, it goes to an extremely dark place as all the pieces of the story fall into place.
Lennie James and Karen David deserve all the awards for this episode, as does Michael Satrazemis whose talent and vision has made so many The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead episodes truly memorable. This episode is truly extraordinary on all fronts.
The synopsis for Fear The Walking Dead season 6 episode 12, “In Dreams,” doesn’t say much when it comes to specifics, but it does provide a bit of a framework for the scope of the episode:
"“Grace wakes up with a case of amnesia seeing what’s become of her friends after she has been gone for years. She struggles to put the puzzle pieces together on what has transpired.”"
If you think that sounds a little outside of the box considering that season 6 episode 11, “The Holding” ended with Alicia being held captive by Teddy, check out the preview for “In Dreams,” which shows a peek of the hyper-colored vision that Grace has of the future:
But what’s really going on is so much darker than it seems…

Make sure that you have a comfort item, your pets, or a lot of food and alcohol with you when you watch this episode of Fear The Walking Dead, TWD Family. It’s a devastating one.
If you’re watching early on AMC+ be ready for a lot of emotions. If you’re live-tweeting on Sunday night when the episode airs on AMC tag me @SonyaIryna and we can get through it together.
