The implication that Alpha was already nuts pre-apocalypse isn’t subtle.
Tales of hearts episode 1 full#
When one of the boat’s passengers mysteriously goes missing, it starts a chain reaction of misery that ultimately proves Dee right.Īll of this is framed by Dee, in her full Alpha Whisperer getup, narrating to the camera in very brief snippets, explaining how she killed her (presumably abusive) father at the age of 9, and later how she killed Lydia’s father when the end of the world trapped her in a basement with him. But Dee is adamant that the world won’t allow for such things, and that the only way Lydia will survive it is to learn the hard way. She wants to wear dresses and have birthday parties. She sees Brooke as a much cooler, more sensitive mother than the one she has. Dee, however, is not.Īnd that causes problems since Lydia would like to. To some, it might seem like denial of the rotted reality that continues to shamble along in the shadows at the river’s edge, but to many among the group, they’re willing to live in the illusion. Brooke’s whole thing is preserving the small things in life getting dressed up, staying healthy, throwing parties, that kind of thing. The episode begins, though, as a kind of Death on the Nile-esque riverboat whodunit, with Alpha, then known as Dee, and a young Lydia part of a group run by a woman named Brooke. But it’s grim a sad little capsule of grief, trauma, and abuse, perpetuated in cycles and exacerbated – though importantly not created – by the zombie apocalypse. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, really, since this was the most heavily marketed episode of the anthology, and nobody in their right mind was expecting a story about the early days of Alpha to be laugh-a-minute. Tales of the Walking Dead season 1, episode 3 recap Well, good news – “Dee” isn’t fun at all.
