Fear The Walking Dead is a spin-off prequel series to The Walking Dead, set in Los Angeles and chronicles the early days of the zombie outbreak. The show premiered on August 23, 2015, and aired six seasons. In the first season, the audience is introduced to the Clark family, and the first episode is named Pilot.

The episode begins with a shot of a young man named Nick Clark, played by Frank Dillane, waking up in a drug den. He is disorientated from a night of partying and drug use. As he stumbles through the room looking for his girlfriend, he discovers a girl eating the face of another drug addict. The girl is revealed to be a zombie - a dead person who has come back to life and is now preying on the living.

Nick, in a state of shock and disbelief, tries to escape the scene, but the zombie follows him and attacks him. He manages to fight her off and escape, eventually making it back home. There, he tells his mother, Madison Clark, played by Kim Dickens, and her boyfriend, Travis Manawa, played by Cliff Curtis, what he just witnessed. Madison and Travis don't believe him, thinking that Nick is just delusional because of his drug use.

The story then shifts to Travis, a high school teacher, who is dealing with unrest in his classroom. One of his students, Tobias, played by Lincoln A. Castellanos, is acting strangely, telling him about strange goings-on, and warning him that chaos is coming. Travis brushes it off, thinking that Tobias is just another paranoid kid.

As the day goes on, reports come in about a strange virus that is causing people to become violent and aggressive, and the hospitals are overflowing with patients. The authorities are warning people to stay indoors and avoid contact with others.

Meanwhile, Nick goes back to the drug den where he saw the zombie attack him. He finds evidence of the attack, including the body of the drug addict who was eaten by the zombie. He also finds a video recording that shows a man being attacked by a zombie and then getting up and attacking others. Nick enters a room where the zombie that attacked him is lying on the floor, still alive. He tries to kill her with a lead pipe, but she escapes, and Nick is attacked again.

Travis goes to the hospital to visit his ex-wife, Liza, played by Elizabeth Rodriguez, who works there as a nurse. She tells him that something strange is happening to the patients, and they are not responding to treatment. She believes that the virus is spreading and that they are all in danger.

The episode ends with Madison going to the school to pick up her children, Nick and Alicia, played by Alycia Debnam-Carey. She discovers that there has been a lockdown, and no one is allowed to leave the school. While she is there, she witnesses the principal being attacked by a student who is now a zombie.

The first episode of Fear The Walking Dead presents a unique perspective on the origin of the zombie apocalypse. Viewers are introduced to the Clark family, who are struggling to deal with the outbreak, and the episode sets the tone for the rest of the series. The plot unfolds slowly, allowing viewers to experience the confusion and fear of the characters as they try to come to terms with the new reality they find themselves in.
