Once again, if these shows could write stories as good as the SFX make zombies we’d have some great shows on our hand. On the other hand, the zombie heads in the sand, covered with crabs (food, Morgan! Crabs are food!) were really grotesque and cool.

The introduction of the sack-people was unfortunate, and lots of the actors behind the sacks were quite bad, however. It started out okay with Morgan scavenging and talking with Mo and trying-and failing!-to get Grace (Karen David) on the walkie. So this wasn’t worse than last week, and it was probably one of the better episodes of the season, but it wasn’t by any means good.

Madison takes Morgan to the dock where he convinces them to take him back to PADRE as well because he has information on some people on rafts he can share with them. Madison is captured and this time she’s buried in the sand and, surprise, Morgan shows up to save her instead which is when the bag-over-head-men and the mom show back up as even more zombies and Madison uses her sledgehammer to take out three at once, just short of the four she took out earlier in the episode with a sledgehammer roundhouse for the story books.

And then apparently all die trying to track down the PADRE people or something. By the end of the episode this character is dead, of course, along with the rest of the bag-over-head men who somehow, miraculously, track Madison down. Anyways, Madison took her daughter a year ago and she’s trying to trick her into taking her as well so she can rescue her daughter.

There’s a whole subplot where this woman tells Morgan she’s pregnant in order to trick him into bringing Madison back to her house, but it’s so convoluted because she has no way of knowing that Morgan knows the person who’s taking all the kids.

But the baby has been taken to PADRE by the time she and Morgan show up (or she fell into the water and drowned to death.

Oh, that’s right, Madison also leaves Mo in a playpen by herself two feet from the water on a dock to go looking for a woman who needs help (just wait until Madison starts helping people to make up for all the bad things she’s done!) Yes, she leaves a toddler who might be capable of climbing out of a playpen and drowning to death alone in a zombie apocalypse.

But she’s bummed out enough when she discovers that they’re dead to have a total change of heart and decide to help Morgan get Mo back.

Madison at this point doesn’t want to see her kids for some reason.

But I dunno, maybe she should have just looked for her kids herself instead of wasting all this time screwing up other peoples’ families (which makes no sense for Madison!) Madison is kidnapping kids for PADRE because at first they offered to help her find her kids, and she can’t stop because she thinks they’ll hurt her kids.

Somehow, in the years since Madison and her children were separated, they didn’t ever encounter one another even though literally everyone in Texas is just a walkie-talkie call away.

This just happens to be PADRE, the very place her now-dead daughter has been searching for fruitlessly.

Then she kidnaps Mo despite not knowing anything about Morgan because she’ll be “better off” where she’s taking her.

Madison shows up in the nick of time and easily kills half a dozen men with her gun without hitting Mo.

There is no discernible reason for this, nor any I can conjure. His abductors all wear bags over their heads, too, just because. Morgan finds the one place in Texas where this is happening and is quickly apprehended by local citizens who mistake him for the kidnapper and go to bury him up to his head in sand, something they’ve done to what appears to be dozens of other people they mistakenly thought were the kidnappers.

Morgan (Lennie James) and Mo have gotten ahead of the rest of the group on their raft and, as coincidence would have it, directly into an area where someone (Madison) has been kidnapping children.So let me just rattle off the problems with the Season 7 finale:
