Before he dies, he asks them not to stab his brain which Daniel reluctantly agrees. The Abigail compound, they are greeted by Luis's mother Celia who tells them they can stay but must leave their weapons outside. Strand finds that Thomas has been bitten and is dying and agrees to a suicide pact with Celia's blessing. Daniel soon discovers that her cellar is full of zombies as she believes they are not dead. After Thomas dies, Strand backs out of the pact and shoots his lover in the head to prevent reanimation.
Chris, feeling betrayed by Madison for telling Travis of the hostage's death and nearly lets her get killed by an Infected. Alicia notices this and confronts him only to be threaten into silence. After she tells her mother, she confronts Travis on the matter. That night Chris stands over their bed at knife point but is chased out of the room when they hear the gunshot.
"Sicut Cervus," challenges the survivors with new moral and physical dilemmas as they arrive in Mexico, seeking refuge but finding new conflicts instead. The episode begins with the group landing on Mexican soil, where they are supposed to meet Luis' family and secure a safe haven. However, their entry is marked by violence and death, as they face a church full of infected during a local ceremony. This dramatic arrival sets the tone for an episode filled with both external and internal conflicts, highlighting the ongoing struggle between maintaining humanity and survival.
As the group integrates into the gated estate of Strand's boyfriend, Thomas Abigail, tensions rise with the revelation of Strand's personal motives and the estate's dark secrets. The estate, presented as a sanctuary, slowly unravels to reveal a cult-like belief system led by Celia, who views the infected as merely changed beings rather than threats. This introduces a complex dynamic between the newcomers and the existing residents, as each character grapples with differing views on what the infected represent. The philosophical divide creates a palpable tension, exploring themes of faith, death, and what it means to be truly alive in a world overrun by the dead.
The episode culminates in a confrontation that forces Madison and the others to reconsider their places in this supposed paradise. When Strand makes a drastic decision to maintain his bond with Thomas amidst the latter's illness, it sparks a series of events that lead to a violent standoff and the burning of the estate. This fiery climax not only symbolizes the destruction of a temporary sanctuary but also the inevitable disintegration of old beliefs and relationships in the face of a new, brutal reality. "Sicut Cervus" effectively uses its setting and character-driven drama to question the ethics of survival and the boundaries of human compassion in a post-apocalyptic world.
