Cindy reluctantly allows Noah and Cody inside along with Eve due to her pregnancy. Immediately, he and Eve go to the med bay, where Cody is treated for his bullet wound. During the stay, Cody is flirted with by Nikki, much to the dismay of Homer and Eve, the latter saying he's being too trusting, which Cody casually brushes off. For the remainder of the episode, he stays in the med bay.

#### The Games Begin

A few days later, Cody, along with Leon, Jenny, Terrance, Bert, Benji, Aiko, and Hiroto go on a run to a warehouse to gather building supplies. While loading up, Cody gets annoyed with Bert's laziness, and is more annoyed when Bert simply picks up a small box and places it inside. Later however, Cody bonds a bit with Leon, and Leon teases him about coming on the trip only to get with Nikki.

Cody then witnesses Bert be killed by Mia, and is shoved to his knees by Hunter. Moments later, three more people join them and introduce themselves as part of a group called the Revivalists. The five of them get ready to kill Cody, Leon, Hiroto, Aiko, and Benji, but they are saved when Jenny blows them up with a grenade launcher. The horde from before however hears this, and Benji, Hiroto and Aiko decide to draw them away while the others escape.

Later, upon realizing that Benji, Hiroto and Aiko haven't returned, Cody goes inside the warehouse to check on them, where he finds, much to his surprise, that Hiroto and Aiko are fluent and, along with Benji, plan on giving Tyler to the revivalists in order to keep them away. As Cody tries to listen closer, he accidentally reveals himself to the others. Cody attempts to conjure up a lie, but Aiko notices a number of holes in Cody's lie. Upon Cody realizing that he was found out, he is abruptly hit over the head by a plank of wood by Hiroto. In desperation, Cody tries to get help from Benji, but Aiko stops him. When the beasties start getting closer, Aiko tells Benji to take Cody's gun, which Benji reluctantly does. Hiroto then breaks both of Cody's ankles, and the three leave him for dead. Cody is then devoured by the beasties.
