"The Raft" is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. It is the ninety-eighth episode of the series overall. It premiered on May 15, 2022. It was written by Nick Bernardone & Nazrin Choudhury and directed by Gary S. Rake.
Morgan and Alicia plan their next steps. Dwight and Sherry face the prospect of having to choose between their code and their safety.
Sherry drags the USS Pennsylvania's emergency life raft onto a beach, inflates it and begins loading it up with supplies that she has gathered. Dwight contacts her, confused as to where Sherry has gone, as she had left without waking him up. Sherry claims that Dwight needed the sleep and she's just on a supply run to a warehouse near the train depot that they had never explored. However, she didn't find anything there. Dwight reveals that they've gotten an SOS on the Dark Horses' old emergency channel from a woman who got herself turned around near the inlet. Sherry argues that it could be another one of Strand's traps, but Dwight points out that, if it breaks the way that Strand's been talking about, then they need every soldier that they can get. Dwight doesn't know if the woman can fight and he asks about his wife's strange behavior, but Sherry deflects, telling Dwight to wait for her as Sherry ties up the raft. However, Dwight doesn't think that he and the woman can wait for her
Chased by three walkers, Maya Vazquez runs through the trees, frantically telling over the radio to Dwight that she's where he said that she should be. Maya trips and falls, but she grabs a rock as a weapon, and continues running away. However, she gets surrounded as a small herd of half a dozen walkers that encircles her from the trees. Dwight rides up on horseback and shoots five of the walkers, but he runs out of bullets with just one left, a radioactive walker that approaches Maya as Dwight warns her not to let it touch her. At the last second, Sherry arrives and shoots the walker, saving Maya's life and apologizing for being late, although Dwight says that she's just in time.
Sherry gives Maya a protective mask and checks her Geiger counter to see that they're clear of the radiation. Sherry tells Maya that, while they're good here, she really should wear that while she's on the move and they're going to need to get her checked out. Maya is confused and Dwight explains that it's what he was talking to her about on the radio, about the air quality and the radiation. Maya looks at the radioactive walker and Dwight realizes that she's not from the area, which Maya confirms, explaining that she came here on a boat looking for her kid. Dwight comments that she landed in the wrong place, while Sherry becomes interested in Maya's comment about the boat, asking what it's like out there and how far the fallout goes. However, Maya has no idea, as she was on the boat for days. Maya last saw her son Marco a few months ago: one night he was in their tent when they went to sleep. Next morning, he was gone. Dwight asks if she's sure that it wasn't the dead, but Maya points out that they would've attacked her too.
Maya asks if they're from the Tower, having heard the message inviting people to join it. Maya suggests that Marco may have been taken there, but Sherry tries to dissuade her from going to the Tower. Dwight explains that there's bad blood between them and the man in charge. Much to Sherry's surprise, Dwight tells Maya that their bad blood with the Tower shouldn't stop her from going, especially if Maya thinks that her kid's there. Dwight has Maya get her stuff, promising to point the desperate mother in the right direction. Sherry questions Dwight, who thinks that Maya is better off with Strand even though they're about to go to war with him. Sherry realizes that Dwight thinks that they're going to lose, and he points out that they're outmanned and outgunned. While it's just them and they can take that kind of a risk, Maya has a kid, and she can't. Sherry gives Dwight a concerned look and says she wishes it weren't like this, which Dwight agrees with.
Morgan suddenly radios in that he's coming in hot and he's going to need a handoff. Sherry responds, telling Morgan that they're on it and asking where he is. Morgan identifies his position as being on the coastal road a couple of miles north of the Pennsylvania and Sherry promises to be there in 10 minutes, before asking what he means by a handoff and if he needs them to take Mo. Morgan clarifies that some of the walkers from the Tower's moat broke off and started following him and Morgan needs the Dark Horses to dump them somewhere for him. Dwight finds that he only has a couple of magazines left and Sherry warns Morgan that they might not have enough ammo to take out the walkers. "You definitely do not, because there are a lot of them. It's all of them," reveals Morgan as he continues moving down the road, chased by Strand's entire moat, a massive herd of hundreds of walkers stretching behind him as far as the eye can see.
Riding down the road on horseback, Dwight contacts Luciana looking for a place to dump a lot of walkers. Dwight asks where the crater that the Stalkers had found is located, and Luciana tells him that it's five miles west of Manny's Salvage Yard. Luciana asks if they need a hand, but Dwight tells her that they've got it, and they will let Luciana know if anything changes. Dwight wonders if he had messed up back there with the Dark Horses' code by sending Maya to the Tower, which is the exact opposite of what he wanted Sherry to do with Mickey. Sherry reminds Dwight that Mickey could hold her own out here and Dwight guesses that Sherry also thinks that they're going to lose this fight with Strand and his forces. Sherry isn't sure and she reminds Dwight of what they had talked about at the gym and everything that Dwight had said that he had wanted. Dwight remembers, but he points out that Sherry had said that she wanted it too, to let life happen and to have a family together. Sherry's worried that if they can't take the Tower, they won't be able to have any of that. After a moment, Dwight agrees that they'll take the Tower while Sherry points out that they're not going to be able to do anything if they don't get rid of the walkers that are chasing Morgan.
