Although AMC's spin-off zombie series 'Fear the Walking Dead' will take a brief hiatus this week, it does not indicate that the threats looming large over Los Angeles will also disappear. When the hugely popular show returns for its third episode titled 'The Dog,' fans will see the characters taking refuge to protect them from the walkers.

According to Christian Today, the official synopsis for 'The Dog' reads, "After they escape a riot, Travis, Liza and Chris seek refuge with the Salazars; Madison defends her home."

Earlier, fans saw Madison (Kim Dickens) doing everything possible to ensure that her son Nick (Frank Dillane), Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), and her boyfriend Travis (Cliff Curtis) were safe from the walker laying in wait outside their home.

Then again, Travis goes to look for his ex-wife Liza (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and their son Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie) after the disobedient son decided to join a mass protest against a police officer who killed a homeless guy. In fact, the dysfunctional family had to flee from all the chaos in the streets for their safety, and they came across the home of the Salazar family. They all decided to remain there as it would be more difficult for them to retrun to Madison's place.

The trailer promo for 'The Dog' further suggests that Travis' former family will be compelled to emerge from their cover and return to the riots in the city since a fire happened near the Salazars' place.

In the 'Fear the Walking Dead' episode 2, viewers discovered that Madison's neighbor turned into a walker and attacked the woman living across the street. The impending danger compels Madison appears to consider whether she should fight their neighbor to keep her family safe.

A different promo for the upcoming episode shows Travis driving a truck full of survivors, including Liza and Chris, past a quarantined hospital. Suddenly a walker appears and the police visibly freaks out at the sight. Everyone on Travis' truck appears to be naive about what they should do next with their situation, and fear is clearly manifest in their faces.

'Fear the Walking Dead' episode 3 titled 'The Dog' will air on Sunday, Sept. 13, on AMC.
