Tonight’s episode, called “Matador,” has Fauna (India Eisley) not only getting closer to the secrets buried in and before her past, but getting invited, in her present day of 1965, to a Los Angeles high-society event billed as a “happening.” Expect the era’s then-reigning troika: sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll.

Last week, the Hilltop troop captured and tried to interrogate one of the captured mystery people – the unknown outsiders who use the facial skins of walkers as masks to walk among them, and “whisper.” Standard interrogation methods didn’t work, but a more sly approach has started to reap information – and tonight, we learn about, and meet, the group’s Alpha and Omega.
