I also like that sometimes the episodes shift to Clementine's point and view and allows you to roleplay as her, determining her relationship with certain characters. His crush on Clementine is fun to watch in all its awkward glory. Gabe is a frustrating character, but Telltale does a fantastic job at writing a bitter teenager dealing with the horrors of the apocalypse. I like that as Javier, you can help mold Gabe into the man he's going to be. The season has been rocky at times, but this episode shows you the bigger payoff from the companionships you've formed. The best part of this chapter is seeing how your relationships have grown since the start of the series. It even has a few callbacks to earlier seasons that I enjoyed. Thankfully, this episode has some levity, so it's not all doom and gloom you see young love bloom between Clementine and Gabe, and get to make a decision about your own romantic future. This factors right into your decisions, from choosing between characters' lives to ultimately determining if you support suicide in certain circumstances. Nothing is dialed back – it's gruesome and cruel. We're used to seeing some messed up stuff in The Walking Dead, but this episode really takes the cake.

This antagonist gets under my skin more than previous ones, so I have to give Telltale credit for that. Your main focus is dealing with an abusive leader who does everything in her power to bring your group down, even if it means blackmail or outright murder. Everyone has their own baggage and flaws, and the zombie apocalypse draws these out for some tense altercations. Gabe deals with typical teenage struggles as he desperately fights for his independence and to prove himself, while Clementine is still reeling from her losses.

Javier and his brother David continue to have a complicated relationship, but every episode expands on why. Thicker than Water still focuses on the same core themes of family, growing up, and survival, and takes all of those in interesting directions. This installment puts more difficult choices in your hands and drives home how sometimes you have no good options – you just have to hope you can deal with the outcome.

If you thought the series had lost some of its magic, Thicker than Water turns things around with strong relationship building alongside the hardest decisions of the season. This episode captures the emotional intensity that makes The Walking Dead what it is, right down to each nail-biting choice that makes you second-guess everything. After a middling third episode, Telltale is back to keeping you on the edge of your seat with Thicker than Water.
