## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 1

#### Our Horrific Adventures

Ed is first seen at camp, having separated the four of them away from the rest of the group to make his own campfire. He stokes his family's fire with a fresh log as Shane intervenes, instructing Ed to take the log out so they can't be seen from a distance. Ed tells him to mind his own business, but concedes under Shane's forceful command and instructs his meek girlfriend Carol to pull the log from the fire. Ed then glares as Shane bids Carol and their daughters Sophia and Anna good evening. He gives Anna a glare as well as Shane leaves them alone.

The next day, he is seen watching as Glenn's mustang is stripped for parts. He watches as Sophia, Carl Grimes, and Jacqui rushes out of the woods in fear, but does not react, and does not join the other men in attacking the lone Roamer. Later, shouting can be heard coming from Ed, who is screaming at Carol in their tent. Orlando, Allen, and Morales listen for a moment, before Orlando stands up, saying he can’t take this anymore. He goes over to the tent, but Ed exits the tent first, and exchanges a dirty look at Orlando. Orlando attempts to peek inside the tent, but Ed zips it up first, and asks him if he’s seen Sophia or Anna around.

#### Inner City Blues

Ed is seen watching Carol from afar, while she prepares to get ready to the laundry while talking to the other women in the group. He is seen in the background while the survivors process Donna's near brush with a roamer, and is notably seen not comforting Carol, who was only feet away from the scene.

When the rain begins to start, Carol, who is laughing and joking with the other women, grabs some of the food to place inside the RV, but slips in the mud, and spills it across the ground. She apologies as Jacqui attempts to calm her down, telling her it wasn’t an issue. However, Ed walks up, and yells at her, and tells her Sophia and Anna will starve now.

Ed then demands that Carol comes with him, but Jacqui rebukes that they know of his domestic abuse to Carol. As Ed tries to grab Carol, he slaps her across the face. Shane, upon witnessing Ed slap Carol, and still seething over his confrontation with Lori, pulls Ed away from Carol and proceeds to beat him to a bloody pulp. Shane warns Ed that if he lays another finger on Carol or anyone else in the camp, he will beat him to death. He then leaves Carol to tend to her battered boyfriend on the floor, while the members of the camp watch Shane walk away in horror.

#### A Matter of Time

After being the subject of talk from the camp, including Rick, Ed chooses to spend most of his time in his tent. He skips the group's target practice, and is watched by Allen, who stayed behind to watch the camp. Ed is later seen in the darkness of his tent, when Carol asks him to join them for dinner. He denies her, telling her to fuck off, but grabs Anna’s hand, asking if she’d stay, but Carol forces her away, and tells him never mind. Ed is discussed at dinner, where Carol confirms he watched his parents eaten.

As the group begins to react to the small swarm of roamers, Ed finally exits his tents after hearing something against it. As he opens it up, preparing to yell at Carol, but sees a Roamer instead, which tackles him and begins to scream. He is eaten alive as gunshots are heard in the background.
