"So Close, Yet So Far" is the second episode of the first season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series Fear the Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on August 30, 2015 in the United States.
Back at the house, Alicia attempts to leave to visit Matt but is stopped when Nick begins to have a seizure; she is able to help him recover and saves him from nearly choking on his own vomit.
Travis arrives at Liza's house and the two call Chris, who tells them where he is; they drive to the protest and attempt to bring him home, but a riot erupts after police shoot down another reanimated corpse.
The three of them flee and are able to seek refuge in a barbershop owned by a man named Daniel Salazar, who has been sheltering inside with his wife Griselda and their daughter Ofelia.
The site consensus reads: "'So Close, Yet So Far' maintains the slow-burn build of the FTWD pilot, earning its moments of gripping tension with zombie attacks and dynamic dysfunctional family drama.
Stil, this episode was good at showing us how quickly society can collapse, the toughness of fresh 'day one' walkers, and all the ways a zombie outbreak can be misinterpreted.
