This article is a Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 8 review of “Padre,” based on watching the episode as it aired on AMC+. The episode worked well as a mid-season finale, leaving viewers with a lot of questions to ponder until the show returns. This was likely in part due to what a great actor Alycia Debnam-Carey is and how well she can portray any storyline sent her way.
