- GoofsWhen preparing those that had been bitten to be put down Blake says that they are going to use ampules of morphine (the kind used by combat medics) to put them to sleep first. However the box of ampules, as well as the ampules themselves, Blake and Alicia both use are labeled as being doxycycline, not morphine. Doxycycline is not even an opioid analgesic, it is a tetracycline-based, broad-spectrum antibiotic.

Featured review
This episode is particularly notable for its claustrophobic setting and intense character development, primarily focusing on Alicia Clark and her challenges
Inside the pantry, the air vent is broken, and people are bit. If suffocation doesn't kill them, the turned people will. While Crazy Dog and Ofelia fix the vent. Alicia makes a tough decision to let the bit sacrifice themselves in order to maintain air supply and prevent more death. Alicia bonds with 9-11 widow Christine who encourages her to put on a strong presence for the rest of them. Despite the vent turning back on, people passed out and become Walkers. As she fights off the dead and puts down Christine, Madison, who has rescued Nick and Troy, manage to clear path for her to get out. Everyone regroups and decide to go to the dam, but Alicia chooses to go alone to Jake's cabin and find her own way to live in the world.
The thirteenth episode of "Fear the Walking Dead" Season 3, titled "This Land Is Your Land," is a harrowing and emotionally charged exploration of leadership, sacrifice, and survival. This episode is particularly notable for its claustrophobic setting and intense character development, primarily focusing on Alicia Clark as she faces her most challenging and defining moments in the series.
Set almost entirely within the confines of a ranch's underground bunker, the episode starts with the community taking refuge from the walker horde unleashed in the previous episode. Alicia's evolution into a resilient leader is the cornerstone of this narrative. Trapped with dozens of others, she is forced to make life-and-death decisions when it becomes clear that their oxygen supply is dwindling. The atmosphere is tense and desperate, emphasizing the psychological and physical toll on everyone, especially Alicia, as she grapples with the immediate threat of suffocation and the moral implications of her decisions.
The most gripping scenes occur as Alicia takes on the burden of euthanizing bitten and potentially suffocating survivors to conserve air, an act that is both brutal and compassionate. These moments are deeply personal and painful, showcasing Alicia's inner conflict and the intense emotional distress these decisions cause her. The character's profound sense of duty and her acute awareness of the weight her actions carry are portrayed with remarkable sensitivity and strength by actress Alycia Debnam-Carey.
Outside the bunker, the episode also touches on the broader implications of the survival struggle at the ranch. Madison, Strand, and Walker's attempts to save those underground by drawing the walkers away highlight the themes of unity and collective survival against odds. Their efforts underscore the essential human struggle for hope and redemption that runs through the series. Meanwhile, the scenes of Alicia finally emerging from the bunker, only to witness the devastation and loss, are powerful and poignant, symbolizing her transformation and the irrevocable changes in her worldview.
