"The Key" is the fourth episode of the sixth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series Fear the Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 1, 2020, in the United States.
John writes letters to June in which he expresses his budding appreciation for their new camps, and his hopes that they can be reunited.
Strand, who is now on the “inter-settlements committee”, takes John to the locked armory where they discover that a matching knife is missing, suggesting a high ranking individual’s involvement.
However, back to the prison cell, a forlorn Janis confesses to murdering Cameron and accepts execution.
The next day, in a formal ceremony, Virginia pins a golden key onto John’s chest and names him Ranger.
"[1] Erik Kain of Forbes in his review praised the development of John Dorie and wrote: "this was a very enjoyable episode of Fear.
Dillahunt did a great job throughout and John Dorie continues to be one of my favorite characters in any of The Walking Dead shows.
With a voice like molasses and a generally positive outlook on the zombie apocalypse, episodes like 'Humbug's Gulch' have been a blast to watch.
