"Channel 5" is the fifteenth and penultimate episode of the fifth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series Fear the Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on September 22, 2019. The episode was written by Michael Alaimo and Samir Mehta, and directed by David Barrett.
Virginia creates a documentary to entice people to join the Pioneers, inspiring Althea to create a new documentary to counter Virginia's message. Grace's condition continues to deteriorate. Tom reunites with his sister Janis, who turns out to be the woman Wes rescued, and dedicates himself to helping create the documentary to show people the differences between the two factions. As the group attempts to cross a damaged bridge, Virginia confronts them. She offers to help them cross, as well as information on Sherry's whereabouts, if they join her.
When no one steps forward, Virginia summons a herd of walkers to force them to need her help. Most of the group make it to safety, but Tom is killed when the bridge collapses, and the group also loses the tanker and most of its supplies. They enter Humbug's Gulch, a nearby Old West-style theme park where John thinks they can safely settle, but is infested by a horde of walkers. Feeling they have no other choice, Morgan turns to Virginia for help, while Dwight storms off angry at the decision.
