SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if youve already watched Sundays Los Muertos episode ofFear the Walking Dead.

You get bit by a zombie, you die.

Those have always been the rules ofThe Walking Deadworld.

But did the rules just dramatically change?

And he then showed off the bite mark on his shoulder to prove it.

Is this guy and this story for real?

We spoke to showrunner Dave Erickson to get his answer to that and other burning questions.

How did you all come across this idea?

What they did was insulate it.

Okay, that makes sense.

So whats that all about?

People knew Alejandro before the apocalypse, people believed in Alejandro.

I have no faith or trust in this guy at all.

Im throwing penalty flags on this guys story all over the place.

So, is that it for the Abigail?

Is the boat gone for good?

The Abigail is like a character that sort of disappears.

Thats a good point.

Not a super savvy move on their part.

So that was the safeguard that we had against what was ultimately for us a very human moment.

Theyre allowing themselves a human moment, which of course creates a horribly catastrophic moment with the dead.

We end with Alejandro making this impassioned speech and the others stuck in this hotel of death.

What can you tease up for next week?

Nick is on the brink of potentially embracing this belief system.

Will Alicia rise and become more of an ally to her mom?

So Im looking forward to seeing how we can bring those two back together.
