The Rick and Shane Conflict is an ongoing conflict between two characters. It is the main conflict in the first and second season.
== History ==
=== Rick Dates Lori ===
The conflict starts small in the eleventh grade of Rick and Shane's high school years. The two boys, considered brothers by each other and everyone around them, both develop a crush on a girl in the same grade as them, Lori Grimes. Shane pushes hard for her, but without effort, Rick eventually steals her heart which opts Shane to envy Rick.
=== Rick Marries Lori ===
Rick would marry Lori later on in his life, having become a Deputy for King County Sheriff's Department like Shane who studied at the same college as him. Shane, despite envious of Rick, was his best man at the wedding. A year after the wedding, Lori would conceive Rick's child, Carl, who would be born in Early January 1998. Shane would grow to love the boy. 
=== Rick is Shot ===
In August 2010, Rick would be shot in the line of duty by a criminal. Rick would be deemed comatose and Shane delivered the news to a distraught Lori, who had been arguing with Rick for weeks. Not long after, the Wildfire Outbreak happened and Shane filled in as Rick, eventually engaging in a sexual relationship with Lori, having told her that Rick was dead before.
=== Rick Comes Back ===
On 24 August 2010, a group that was stuck in a department store in Atlanta would come back with Rick, who they state helped them escape the herd in Atlanta. Shane, Lori and Carl would be shocked upon seeing Rick had survived the Sunset Protocols in the hospital and was still alive. Rick, after that, would become the de-facto leader of the group.
=== Jim's Graveyard ===
While burying bodies of fallen members of the camp, Shane would say it was Rick's fault that all of these people died. Rick would say it isn't, saying Rick's plan saved the rest of the people in the camp. It would become a discussion, Rick eventually mentioning how Shane was in love with Lori and how he was having sex with Lori, also stating how Shane wanted to steal Carl away. Rick would then state that if Shane ever tried to have sex with Lori or fill in Rick's place for Carl, Rick would kill him. Later on, Shane would point a gun at Rick's head, Shane pulled away after realizing Dale was watching him.
=== Shane Attempts to Rape Lori ===
Shane, after getting drunk at the CDC, would attempt to rape Lori in the rec room after everybody had left. Rick, having heard this happening, attacked Shane and pointed a gun at him. Shane would then say: "…If you’re gonna do it… don’t miss…" to Rick, which stopped him from doing it, leaving Shane with a final warning. 
=== Rick Replaces Shane ===
After deciding that Shane was unfit to be a wingman, Rick replaced Shane with Daryl Dixon, who was arguably more smarter and more of a survivor, along with that more moral. Daryl would become Rick's wingman and one of his closer friends in the group.
=== Rick Confronts Shane About Otis ===
Rick would confront Shane about Otis, knowing that Shane had killed him to save Carl. Rick understood why Shane did this, but didn't want him to do it anymore. Rick and Shane came to an agreement, although Shane was hesitating if he should accept the terms that Rick laid out for him.
