Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 8 won't be airing until next year on AMC. The post-apocalyptic drama is on its midseason break at the moment. Hence, fans need to wait for a while in order to see what's coming next for most of the characters.

Right now, the official release date of Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 8 is unknown. This is an unusual move for the series, given that the previous installments usually drop eight episodes before going on a midseason break.

The decision to cut down one episode has something to do with the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of things have changed, and the series needs to adjust to the health guidelines and protocols. No specific date has been set, but the show is slated for a 2021 return.

Fans can expect a lot of intense and interesting stories once Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 8 arrives on AMC. Previously, a preview teaser hinted at what lies ahead in the second half of the current installment. The clip featured the group facing a lot of chaos, with some of them in grave danger.

Grace (Karen David) is one of the biggest concerns since she became Virginia's (Colby Minifie) latest target. As shown in the clip, the former is surrounded by a firing squad orchestrated by the latter. Her life is in jeopardy, and there's a question of whether she'll make it out alive until the end.

Being the leader of the Pioneer, it would be easy for Virginia to kill Grace. However, she recognized that she could use her later on -- particularly in getting her younger sister, Dakota (Zoe Colletti), back. The latter is being held captive by Morgan (Lennie James).

Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 8 could see Virginia and Morgan facilitating a deal in order to get what they want, respectively. However, they also know that the Pioneer leader is capable of doing something that could lead to a huge problem later on.

Since Virginia is desperate to reunite with Dakota, she'll do whatever it takes to bring her younger sister back on her side. If ever Morgan does something that could affect the deal, the Pioneer leader could use Grace and will threaten them to kill her.

Apart from this, Fear the Walking Dead season 6 episode 8 brings a significant story for Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey). She goes on a journey with Charlie (Alexa Nisenson) in the midseason finale, and seemingly went elsewhere after successfully completing their mission.
