just a hastily written recap for thems what missed it (spoilers obviously, cuz, it's a recap):
Episode opens with a flashback to Madison and Strand's escape from the bar, culminating in the end of last episode, in which Madison and Strand are reunited with Alicia, and meet her new friends Elena and Hector Tobar.
At la Colonia, Nick plots a new scheme. On his way to Alejandro, he sees Alonso's daughter crying in the street (still mourning her dead papa), and an old woman moves to console her. At la Farmacia, Nick attempts to make amends for his mishandling of the trade with Marco by proposing an idea to lengthen their oxy supply by cutting it with another substance. After some convincing, the addict and the pharmacist set the plan to motion.
Back at the Rosarito Beach Hotel, Madison wants to find Ofelia, but Strand and Alicia have other ideas (immediate survival). After conferring with Elena, they decide to approach Oscar's group and try to work together. Madison and Strand go. They are greeted by Andres and eventually Oscar, who agrees to meet.
At the pharmacy, Nick tries to get the story from Alejandro of his zombie bite, from which he didn't contract the illness, expressing some skepticism. Alejandro seems to understand, but still does not share the details with Nick.
At the hotel Madison makes the pitch for the two groups to come together to secure the hotel. Oscar seems approachable. Ilene, the mother of the bride of the wedding party that Elena locked in the ballroom to avoid the spreading of the infection, is less so. They demand Elena be expelled from the group. Madison tries to argue Elena's side in her absence. Madison finally says she's going ahead with her plan with or without them. Oscar is swayed enough to give her the master key set for the hotel, which they took from Elena last episode. After the meeting, Madison and Strand talk, she makes it clear that she wants to make this hotel home, and he makes it clear to her that this isn't home to him.
After a gruelling drug cutting session, Alejandro finally tells Nick the story of his bite. Luciana and Nick take a break from their duties to play soccer with the children. Francisco returns from a patrol with news of Luciana's brother Pablo, who was finally found dead.
After the news, Nick and Luciana go on their trade run. Nick suggests he can do it alone, but she insists on going. The two talk about family as they walk.
At the Rosarita, Hector has second thoughts about the plan as he, Alicia and Strand begin to clear the rooms of infected. On the beach, members of Oscar's group, of their own volition, come out of hiding to help Madison with the plan. As Alicia and Hector drag more bodies out onto the beach, Alica notices the riptide warning signs and gets the idea to herd them all down to the deep end of the pier and feed them to the riptide.
After they return from their trade run, Alejandro shows Nick to his new quarters.
Back at the hotel, Elena orchestrates a way for Alicia's plan to work. Madison and Alicia share a moment before they set the plan in action.
Alicia and Hector pair up to start herding zombies in the parking lot.
Strand and Elena begin herding from the hotel.
They all come together on the main promenade leading to the boardwalk and pier. Once Elena and Strand have sealed the pier, Alicia and Hector make their way for the launch as Madison leads the infected out over the water. Andres bars the doors behind. Ilene watches from a balcony as Madison leads the horde. At the launch, Oscar joins them to help push it out to sea. Hector and Alicia almost capsize, but they make it out to the spot to recover Madison. Madison jumps from the pier and the launch maneuvers to pick her up as infect plunge one after another into the water after her. On the beach, Strand, Elena Andres, Oscar and other members of his group watch. Alicia and Hector manage to pull Madison into the launch and they head for shore.
In Nick's new trailer, he is visited by Luciana, who can't sleep. The two stay up talking until she falls asleep.
After the hotel clearing, the blended group sits down to dinner. Oscar is the only one missing. Strand goes to talk to him. Strand finds Oscar outside his suite, mourning the loss of his new bride Jessica. The two talk. They end up, in their way, each helping the other. Oscar's plight provides perspective for Stand's loss of Thomas, and Strand's experience provides some light for Oscar. Oscar allows Strand to take care of his infected wife.
Luciana awakens in Nick's trailer and the two part, but not before they share a kiss.
Ofelia remains missing.
Talking Dead (w/Chris Hardwick) had guests: Reggie Watts, Paul Calderone (who plays Alejandro), and Danay Garcia (who plays Luciana), and a taped interview with Colman Domingo (who plays Strand).
