- Quotes
[Victor Strand tells Madison that Celia Flores has her hooks in Nick]
Victor Strand: You take a vulnerable kid, an addict, drop him in a mess of death and doubt, it won't be long before he starts looking for something to cling to. In comes Mama Celia with her authentic Mexican cuisine, side of quasi-religious voodoo bullshit and voila. You bet your ass she's got her hooks in him.

"Shiva," acts as a pivotal moment for the series, signaling the disintegration of what seemed like a temporary safe haven and thrusting the characters into unforeseen chaos
Celia is furious with Strand "killing" Thomas and wants him and the group gone but Nick manages to convince her let his family stay by bringing back zombified Luis. Travis goes to find Chris and discovers how far his insanity has gone. Deciding that Chris is not ready to around people and they go off on their own. He tells Nick to let them know they're alright.
At the compound, Daniel attacks a guard and is taken to the cellar where Celia encourages him to make peace with his dead and he hallucinates his wife and people he killed before. Madison, believing that Celia is dangerous, lures her to her cellar and locks her in with the dead. Daniel escapes his prison and sets the place on fire and does not try to escape. Strand arrives with a truck to take Madison, Alicia, and a hysterical Ofelia from the scene. Nick is disgusted by what his mother has done and leaves on his own.
"Shiva," acts as a pivotal moment for the series, signaling the disintegration of what seemed like a temporary safe haven and thrusting the characters into unforeseen chaos. The episode opens with the aftermath of the tragic events at Thomas Abigail's estate, particularly focusing on Celia's fury over the death of her son and the implications of Strand's actions. The resulting tension exacerbates the already fragile alliances within the group, setting off a chain of emotional and violent reactions that challenge their unity and survival.
The episode dives deep into personal and psychological turmoil, especially for Daniel, who begins to unravel under the weight of his past sins. Haunted by visions of his deceased wife and the many people he has killed, Daniel's mental state deteriorates, leading to dramatic and destructive actions that have severe consequences for everyone. Meanwhile, Madison's attempt to manipulate Celia to ensure the group's safety backfires, resulting in Madison and Strand being banished from the estate. This expulsion is emblematic of the broader themes of the episode-trust, betrayal, and the ongoing struggle to maintain any semblance of civilization in a crumbling world.
"Shiva" ends with the group fractured and scattered, with Nick walking away disillusioned with his mother's choices, symbolizing his loss of faith in her leadership and their old ways of survival. This dispersal sets the stage for new challenges and dynamics to explore as each character must now navigate their path to survival in an increasingly hostile environment. The episode excels in its exploration of the psychological depth of its characters, showcasing their vulnerability and resilience in the face of existential threats.
