Clyde Rollins

"*Edward... you're my best friend. We had a little inconvenience, but before that, we were the dream team, don't you recall? No matter what, I will be here for you. And you* are *a good person at your core, you shouldn't tell yourself otherwise, what you did for Sarah was heroic. And if you recall, it was you who helped* me *step up. You encouraged me to do what was right, and before I knew it, I felt like a real action star, rescuing a little girl from a - a gang! Just because you've had some bad experiences with people in your life, does not mean you are meant to be alone. The group next door to us right now, they are a great group of people, and the closest thing I have to a family now.*"
—Clyde to Edward Remar[src]

Clyde Rollins is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in Route to Paradise. He was an award-winning actor with an inflated ego that had little consideration for anyone other than himself. When the outbreak began, Clyde was at Willamette Parkview Mall for the premiere of his newest movie, completely unaware of the threat looming outside, partially due to being confined to the movieland, but also because of his arrogance. Eventually, Clyde was encountered by the survivors from the security room and opted to join them after realizing the imminent danger he was in.

During his time in the security room, Clyde’s cowardice quickly came to light, proving that his confidence was ultimately a facade in order to impress people. Later, Clyde ‘led’ a team of survivors to the North Plaza to meet with Leslie Staunton, a place he ended up staying at following a disaster that forced his companions to rush back to the security room without him. Clyde was quickly manipulated by Leslie into believing that the security room survivors were nothing but trouble and was used as a pawn in her scheme to get them out of the mall. Clyde attempted to lead the survivors into a trap in the mall’s basement, but this did not go as planned and he was taken prisoner and locked up for his crimes.

Following Leslie’s downfall, Clyde and the other prisoners from the North Plaza were set free under the condition that they helped defend the mall from Benjamin Taylor’s attacking forces. However, Clyde was quick to flee during the heat of the battle and managed to escape the mall. Two weeks later, Clyde was found snooping around the town hall by Damerae Badrick and Edward Remar, which eventually got him tangled up as a prisoner when Badrick’s gang took the town hall as their primary settlement. During his time in captivity, Clyde befriended Edward over the course of a number of talks about the latter’s wellbeing and discontent in his current position. Eventually, Edward convinced Clyde to step up and become a better man when he tasked him with the rescue of a sickly little girl who was being used as Badrick’s hostage, Sarah Taylor.

After making his daring escape and rescuing Sarah, Clyde managed to bring her all the way back to her father Benjamin and his forces. Clyde went on to fight in the battle of Willamette Mall, an event where he would save Edward’s life. The two went on to become close companions who would stay together over the winter and eventually form a small group of their own with the mission of eliminating Damerae Badrick. While Edward and Clyde’s friendship continued to become stronger, Clyde suffered a terrible injury at the hands of Badrick in having a knife jammed into his eye by the psychopath.

Clyde was fortunate to recover from this incident and continued his training with different weapons. During this downtime, he met Claire Noble and took an instant liking to her. Clyde stayed by Edward’s side and took part in the final battle against Damerae Badrick at the football stadium. Following the group leaving Willamette and heading for Denver City, Clyde became romantically involved with Claire after confessing his feelings for her, which, unbeknownst to him, broke Edward’s heart following the latter’s own confession.

In the weeks that follow, Edward distances himself from the group, Clyde included, and after the group stops at a motel, Edward writes Clyde a farewell note and leaves. Clyde at first tries going after him, but upon realizing that Edward's wish was to leave on good terms, Clyde lets him go.

When William Reynes turns away Aidan Eldridge's group from the motel, a courageous Clyde steps up and joins a team led by Kate Bloodstone to rescue Aidan and his group. The rescue attempt, however, is everything but a success, resulting in a near death for Clyde. In the days after the disaster, William scolds Kate's team, but all of them, including Clyde, remain adamant about the decision they made. Later on, the group venture to the community of Worthwood.

## **Post-Apocalypse**

### **Season 1**

#### "**Welcome to Paradise**"

Sitting inside of a movie theatre in Willamette Mall, Clyde cries while watching the premiere of his own movie. His cries attract the attention of a small group of people. He notices them and asks if they're fans of his. William Reynes claims he's his biggest fan, then goes on to introduce himself, Jacob Feldman, and Clayton Freeman. Jacob questions Clyde about if he knows what's going on outside. Clyde is oblivious to the fact that a zombie apocalypse has begun, and is simply waiting for his team to return to him. As Clyde goes to sign some autographs, a scream for help outside sends everyone except Clyde rushing to investigate.

#### "**The Lost Companion**"

When the group return, Clyde asks them what happened. Edward Remar tells Clyde to go look himself, and so Clyde walks over to a window to look outside. When he does, a zombie slams it's face against the glass, scaring Clyde into falling over. Now that he finally understands what's happening, Clyde suggests that they stay put here until help arrives. As the men around him discuss about where they should go next, Clyde stands firm on the idea of staying in the movie theatre. However, when they go to leave Clyde, he yells for them to wait, and asks if he can go back with them to their security room that they claim is safe. They allow him to go back to the security room, and say that William will take him back. Before he and William leave, Clyde discusses the many roles he's played in different movies. William interrupts to him to say that they best get back to the security room. Clyde obliges and they leave.

When they leave the theatre, a scared Clyde breaks into a run, terrified of the zombies. William tries, but fails at getting him to slow down. Clyde makes it to the storage room, and soon William is there as well. William leads Clyde up onto the roof and then through a vent that takes them into the security room.

As soon as he steps out, Clyde is recognized by Helen Cullen. William takes Clyde into the waiting room, where he expresses his gratefulness to him, and even signs William an autograph. Later on, Clyde is again recognized, this time by Quentin Richards, who loves Clyde's work. When Clyde re-enters the waiting room, he discovers the gruesome sight of Randy Wheeler's corpse, his head having been crushed in. He pukes at the sight of it.

#### "**The Scary Thing About Clowns**"

In the security room, Clyde listens in to Jacob and William discussing their fear of clowns, where Clyde then chimes in explaining how he faced off against a clown in one of his movies.

#### "**Buddy**"

Clyde strolls into the waiting room, seeing William resting on one of the couches, recovering from a gunshot injury. He commends him for taking the injury like a soldier, and enthusiastically says that it is unfortunate he wasn't there to prevent his injury. When Helen begins wondering where they would be able to acquire some guns to take down the snipers that shot William, Clyde reveals that he was being protected by four security guards when he first arrived, and that their pistols were stored in the lockers at Colby's Movieland. With this information, Helen tells Clyde that he'll be coming along with her to retrieve the guns, something Clyde isn't so keen on doing, but he agrees to do it nonetheless.

Helen and Clyde recruit Albert Hanson to join them on the trip before leaving, and while travelling through the storage room, the trio run into another man, Robert Morgan. Clyde instinctively hides from the man, but Helen calls him out. Robert proves to be a friendly individual who is looking to enact revenge on the snipers as well. However, he is suffering from a bad 'flu', and Clyde worries that he could be coming down with the zombie virus, but Robert assures him otherwise.

The group hurry through Paradise Plaza and enter the familiar Colby's Movieland. Clyde proudly leads them all to the lockers - only to then discover that he has lost the key required to unlock it. Fortunately for them, Robert is an electrician, and is able to work his magic and get the locker open by burning it off.

After getting the guns from the locker, the four return back to the security room, where Clyde wishes Helen and Albert good luck as they head out into the dangers of the Entrance Plaza to fight the snipers.

#### "**Guardian Angel**"

The following day, Clyde is present as Helen and the group are debating whether or not to return a batch of high-tier weaponry they stole from the North Plaza and its people. In the end, it's decided that they will be returning them, and most of the group will be going along to return them, including Clyde. When Helen says that they should choose a team leader for the trip, Clyde chooses puts himself forward. With no disputes, Clyde is chosen as leader.

Clyde marches out into the hallway and briefs his team on their mission, promising them that although it will be dangerous, they will prevail.

As the group is nearing the exit into Paradise Plaza, Erin Monroe informs everyone that they should take the quick way. Clyde agrees, but he has to pull Erin aside and ask to know what the quick way is. She tells him, and Clyde proudly leads the group the rest of the way. Before entering the North Plaza, they take a quick break in order for Dean Howards to pick up some liquor that he craves. Clyde then warns his team of the danger they're about to walk into, before he goes charging into the North Plaza, yelling.

However, the North Plaza is empty; cleared of zombies. Clyde is flabbergasted. Soon, the group is approached by Leslie Staunton, the leader of the North Plaza survivors. Clyde presents himself to her as the leader of their group, but Jacob clarifies that he's only leader of the mission. Afterwards, Albert, Dean and Randall Forster go to return the guns. A little while later, Helen calls to ask if the guns have been returned, and Clyde confirms they are. She then tells Clyde to do what they can to earn some guns back.

A few minutes later, Clyde receives another radio call from Helen, asking if they had come to any agreements yet. Clyde enters the gun store, where Randall and Dean are in the middle of asking Teddy Powell, the gun store owner, what they can do for guns. Clyde lets Helen speak over the radio, and she tells them to hand over the liquor they recently acquired to trade for guns.

Before they can make the trade, Helen radios once more, but this time she gets cut off by the sound of hammering on a door. Jacob snatches the radio from Clyde, trying to reach Helen, but is unable to do so. Frightened, he and everyone else begin rushing back to the security room - everyone but Clyde, who remains in the North Plaza.

Later that day, Clyde is called to Leslie's office. When he goes to her office, Leslie begins subtly pressing Clyde for information about the security room survivors. Clyde admits that some of the security room survivors don't appear to have any respect for the North Plaza, which he finds disrespectful. Leslie prepares Clyde a cup of tea, telling the man that she and her people want the mall to be safe for everyone, and he could be apart of that. As she's handing him the tea, she asks to know **everything** about the security room survivors.

#### "**Life and Death**"

After living within the North Plaza for a day, Clyde is sent back to the security room by Leslie in order to offer them a trading proposition. Clyde explains to everyone there that if they come with him to the mall's basement to retrieve a bundle of supplies, Leslie will trade them some guns. It takes little convincing, and quickly, the security room survivors are preparing to depart with Clyde. When they're ready, Clyde grins, waving them along to follow him.

During the trip there, Clyde is noticeably nervous, something that Randall picks up on. Soon, the group are fighting through Leisure Park, trying to reach the basement doors. Clyde, still weaponless, has to push the zombies aside. However, they safely make it to the basement.

In the basement, Clyde leads the survivors through the dark, promising them that he knows the way there. At this point, Jacob and Clayton are becoming suspicious, but they continue following Clyde. While walking, Clyde inquires as to where Helen went, pointing out how he didn't see her at the security room. Jacob explains that Skittles the Clown killed her, but the clown was now also dead. Clyde gives his condolences, but Jacob doesn't care much for them. Suddenly, Clyde begins rushing ahead, waving the group to follow him, and saying that they were nearly there. However, Clyde quickly disappears around the corner.

A couple of minutes later, Clyde reappears from the dark. Surrounding Jacob and the rest of his group are ten hooded men seemingly working with Clyde. Clyde tells them all that it's nothing personal, but Jacob is furious. Suddenly, one of the hooded men attacks William, and a fight begins. During the fight, Clyde runs away in fear.

While trying to escape, Clyde runs into a zombie. In order to get away from it, he sprints into a gated off area and slams the gate behind him, unknowingly locking himself in. Jacob and the others catch up to Clyde, killing the zombie and informing Clyde about what he'd just done. With nowhere to go, Jacob threatens to kill Clyde if he doesn't explain himself. Cowering with fear, Clyde says that this was all Leslie's idea, and that she wants to kill everyone else in the mall in order to take it over for herself. Jacob calls Clyde a pawn, before turning and starting to walk away. Clyde begs not to be left in the dark, cold basement. Jacob tells him to quit being a baby, before walking away.

#### "**Adaptation**"

The security room survivors end up defeating the North Plaza survivors, and all those who surrendered are taken down to the basement and locked up with Clyde.

More than a day later, a few of mall survivors come walking down to the cell. Clyde drops to his knees at their sight, begging to be released, but he's simply ignored. Jacob and Erin debate whether they should let them out, with Erin claiming that Clyde would be nothing but a human shield for them, which frightens Clyde. Teddy, one of the prisoners, demands to know what they're talking about. Jacob reveals to them all that the mall may be attacked soon, and they're willing to let them all out for a chance to prove themselves. Teddy doesn't take too kindly knowing that they're only being let out to be used as extra targets, but Clyde is all for it, asking for them to open the cell. Luckily for him, Jacob agrees to let all of the prisoners out for the chance to prove whether or not they can be trusted. Clyde couldn't be more thankful.

Clayton leads all of the prisoners up to the North Plaza, where they'll be defending the back entrance. Teddy heads into his gun store and comes back out hauling a crate of guns. Everybody takes their pick - except Clyde, who states that he'd rather leave. However, the others aren't willing to just let him go.

Some time later, Clyde and a ton of others are anxiously waiting in the North Plaza, as they listen to gunshots from across the mall; the attack had begun. And suddenly, the back entrance blows open, debris flying everywhere. Men armed with guns come sprinting through a cloud of smoke. Almost immediately, Clyde breaks into a sprint, fleeing the area.

### **Season 2**

#### "**The Mentor**"

Sometime after fleeing the mall, Clyde ends up at the Willamette town hall. While staying here, Damerae Badrick rolls into town and decides to visit the town hall to decide whether or not he wants to set up his base here. Clyde attempts to quietly escape the building, but he makes too much noise opening a window, alerting Badrick to his location. With Badrick is Edward Remar. Clyde awkwardly greets Badrick, before he tries climbing out the window, only for Badrick to grab him and pull him back in. The man instantly recognizes Clyde, and wonders why he's all alone. Clyde says that it's a long story, and tells Badrick that he'll get out of his hair. However, Badrick forces Clyde to take a seat with him and Edward. There, Badrick demands to know what both men know of the mall. Edward claims that he doesn't know much of anything, but Clyde shouts that there are a group of bad people there who locked him up. Edward calls him out as a liar, and Badrick believes him, leading to him not trusting Clyde. When Clyde says that he'll be going, Badrick instead demands that Clyde go down to the basement where he'll be locked up. Clyde laughs nervously, wanting to believe that Badrick is joking around, but he isn't. With some yelling from Badrick, Clyde sadly walks down into the basement.

#### "**On the Clock**"

A few days later, Clyde is sitting in his cell, chatting with Edward. Clyde talks about how he feels both safe and unsafe at the same time down here. However, he believes that Edward is in a worse position than he is. When Edward asks to know why, Clyde says that it's because he's working under Badrick, a ruthless man. He also recalls a conversation that had off-screen about Sarah Taylor, a sick little girl Badrick is keeping hostage. Edward frowns, looking down at a friendship bracelet on his wrist, which Clyde notices. He finds it admirable that Sarah has a friend in him. Edward admits that Sarah doesn't have long left, and that all she wants is to be reunited with her father. Clyde can see that Edward wants to set Sarah free, and he encourages him to do so, but Edward says that it isn't so easy. Clyde, however, has full faith that Edward will be able to figure out a way to do it.

#### "**Promise**"

Another few days later, Edward comes visiting Clyde again, who is looking like a mess; unkempt, dirty hair and a growing beard. Clyde chuckles nervously when he's greeting Edward, telling him about the fact that Badrick has stopped giving him food and water. He quickly moves on, wondering why Edward is down here visiting him again. Edward simply asks him if they're friends, and Clyde reluctantly says that they are, on the basis that Clyde would like to have a friend before he dies down here. Satisfied, Edward then says that some of the mall survivors came to Edward asking him to free Sarah. Clyde is happy to hear that, but doesn't understand why Edward is coming to him about it, knowing Clyde can't do anything. Before Edward replies, he goes on about a spider in his cell that he had to kill to stop it from invading him side of the cell. Edward snaps at Clyde, telling him to quit being delusional and stay on topic. Clyde gets back on topic, apologizing, and then admitting to Edward that he himself couldn't save Sarah because he's not brave, but Edward has the bravery to do it. Edward scoffs, calling Clyde a coward, before he walks up and out of the basement.

A little while later, Edward returns to Clyde's surprise. Without delay, Edward tells Clyde that he's offering Clyde a shot at redemption here and now. He says that Badrick has become suspicious of him, and so he'll need Clyde to break Sarah out of the town hall. Clyde is taken back, and says that he wouldn't know the first thing to do. Quickly, Edward explains that Sarah's father is based at the Willamette Museum, and all Clyde has to do is make it there. Edward promptly takes out Clyde's cell key and a knife, sliding both through the cell bars to him. Nervously, Clyde picks it up, asking Edward where he was going. He says that he's needed at Badrick's bullet factory. Nodding slowly, Clyde tells Edward that no matter what happens, they're still friends. The two men shake hands through the bars and wish each other well, before Edward walks out.

Sometime after, Clyde eventually builds up the courage to pick up the key and unlock his cell. His heart pounding, Clyde heads up the stairs, the knife hidden. He slowly opens up the door and walks out, beginning to walk through the building. Men walk past Clyde, not even noticing him, and Clyde is able to make it up to the second floor, where he sees the sickly little girl in one of the rooms. Sarah looks up at him, frightened, but Clyde promises that he's a friend of Edward and is here to help. He gently lifts the girl up and starts walking through the halls, trying to remain unseen. However, as he is approaching one of the side exits, a man calls out to him. Michael Hall steps over to Clyde, demanding to know what the meaning of this was. Clyde recognizes Michael to be one of the three snipers from Willamette mall, and so he tenses up, before asserting that he's here to get Sarah out. He tries to get Michael to let him go, bringing up his two sons. Michael, however, isn't having it. He demands that Clyde return the girl to her room. Shaking, Clyde tells him that he won't. Michael approaches him, threatening him again. This time, Clyde gives in, setting the girl down. When Michael drops his guard for a moment, Clyde draws his knife and plunges it into Michael's chest. The man yells out for help, as Clyde picks Sarah back up and books it out of the building. On his way out, a bullet hits Clyde in his back, but he continues running.

Clyde continues running all the way until he's in view of the museum. Behind Clyde, several Rastas come chasing after him. As soon as he steps foot on the grass outside the museum, Clyde sets Sarah down. Benjamin Taylor's soldiers come running out, posting up and shooting at the Rastas chasing Clyde. One of the Rastas manages to make it right up to Clyde, and slices him across the chest with a machete. The Rasta is quickly killed, along with the rest of them. Clyde is helped up by Shane Haywood and brought inside the museum, where he is quickly treated by a doctor.

#### "**Fractured Beyond Repair**"

Sitting in a wheelchair, Clyde is present for the funeral of Sarah, who died moments after being reunited with her father. Following the funeral, the doors to the museum swing open, as Edward comes stumbling through the doors, beaten nearly to death. Clyde looks over to Benjamin, telling him that this was the man who helped free his daughter from Badrick's clutches. Hearing this, Benjamin has Edward treated to by the doctors, and thanks him for his efforts. With Badrick and his Rastas on the run, Benjamin decides that he wants to team up with the mall survivors. He asks Edward and Derek Monroe to travel to the mall and inform them about his plan to take out the last two Rasta outposts he knows about. Clyde asks to come along as well, and Derek reluctantly lets him.

The three of them leave the mall, Clyde still in his wheelchair, and they soon arrive at the mall. They take the elevator up to the roof, where they find the majority of the survivors. Whilst Edward is welcomed by them, Clyde isn't welcomed at all, and Felix Quarterman even suggests to Quincy Atherton that he should throw Clyde off the roof. Edward comes to Clyde's defense, telling them about his bravery in saving Sarah. After, Clyde asks them all if he's forgiven. Jacob says that Clyde should count himself lucky to even be here, and the only reason he still is, is because Edward vouches for him. Clyde chuckles nervously, recounting his perilous journey of rescuing Sarah.

#### "**Family Business**"

Clyde rolls into the security room waiting area, coming to say hello, only to go silent when he sees that Teddy is missing a hand, and is being treated to by Owen Gliefield.

#### "**Home**"

Now out of his wheelchair, Clyde stands with the rest of the group up on the roof, mourning Erin, who had been killed in a mission gone wrong. It's noted that Jacob is missing, and Clyde suspects that he likely won't return after the death of Erin. The conversation between everyone shifts into a debate on whether they should evacuate the mall or not, as they expect a retaliation attack from Badrick. Clyde thinks that they should leave, but Edward shoves a shotgun into his hands, telling him not to go back to being a coward.

Jacob would eventually return to the mall, and shortly after he does, the mall comes under attack from Badrick. Clyde and a few others remain on the roof, while most others go down into the mall to fight back. After a while, Felix says that they need to get down there as well. Clyde keeps his cool, and says that he's ready.

Clyde, Felix, Edward and Albert come running down into the Food Court, saving Jacob from being executed by Badrick. Clyde aims his shotgun at a man and fires, but he misses, and is sent backwards onto the ground, the force of the gun being too much for him.

After rescuing Jacob, everyone on their side still alive heads back up to the roof; the mall was lost, and they now needed to escape. Before they can get to doing so, the remainder of the Rastas come climbing up to the roof, outnumbering them. When Edward spots Badrick, he jumps out of cover and goes to shoot him, but Badrick acts quicker, shooting Edward in his chest and sending him falling off the roof into a dumpster below. Clyde, worrying for his friend, tells the others that he'll get him.

Clyde climbs down off the roof, and shoots a nearby zombie, but fails to kill it. He acts quickly, shoving the zombie aside, before he rushes over to the dumpster and looks inside, seeing Edward siting up weakly. Edward is shocked to see Clyde, but Clyde reminds him that they are friends. The zombie that Clyde shoved aside then sneaks up on him, but Clyde throws it back off him, and this time, he aims the shotgun at its head and blows it off - his first zombie kill. He cheers in excitement, before turning back to the dumpster and helping Edward out. The two of them limp off into the woods.

### **Season 3**

#### "**Winter Wasteland**"

Two days after the fall of Willamette Mall, Edward and Clyde are still out by themselves, moving from place to place for shelter. Now well into December, winter is setting in, and Clyde and Edward are in the middle of a blizzard, looking for shelter. Clyde yells through the blizzard at Edward, asking where they're going. Edward yells back that he doesn't know. Narrowing his eyes, Clyde makes out a building and large sign ahead of them: the Willamette bus depot.

The two of them make their way up to the front doors and try entering, but it's locked. Edward looks around, his eyes focusing on a parked bus. Clyde notices, and questions if he wants to take shelter in the bus, but Edward angrily says that he wants to drive it, not live in it. They venture across the parking lot over to the bus, but it too is locked, meaning they'll need the key. As Edward and Clyde go to turn around, they suddenly hear a noise from inside. Then a voice greets them, and the door opens up. The man inside the bus is Jared Kellings, someone familiar to Edward but not Clyde. After getting out of the cold, the three of them begin talking about what went down at the mall, and how they haven't seen anyone from the mall since the attack. Jared reckons that everyone who was at the mall is still in the area, meaning Badrick is too. Edward is out for revenge on Badrick, but Clyde thinks that he may already be dead. Edward refuses to believe that. He then turns to Jared, asking him if he had the keys for the bus, but Jared doesn't, and claims that the bus was unlocked when he found it. Edward nods slowly, telling them that he was going to go look for the keys in the bus depot so they could drive out of here. Clyde, however, doesn't want to leave Willamette yet. He wants to try and find the others who survived the mall attack. Reluctantly, Edward agrees to wait until the storm dies down so they can look for the mall survivors. Afterwards, Edward exits the bus depot to go search for the keys himself. Clyde and Jared head inside with him, breaking open a window to get in, but they decide to take a nap while Edward searches.

A little while later, Edward comes limping out of one of the rooms, a pair of keys in hand. The group decides to wait it out inside the building until the blizzard ends. However, moments later a knock comes at the front doors, and a man asks to be let inside, claiming that he crashed his vehicle and needed shelter. Clyde is immediately trusting of the man, but Edward and Jared don't feel the same. Edward aims a shotgun at the door as Clyde slowly opens it, telling the man outside that he was about to do so. Solomon Reed steps inside, thanking them, and taking a seat. Edward puts down the gun, and Solomon explains that he was originally in Texas for the first couple of weeks, before an incident led to him driving up to Colorado. He claims that they are the only people he's seen so far in Willamette. Trusting Solomon, Clyde and the other two share their names with him, as Solomon continues on with his stories about Texas. As Solomon is mid-story, Robin Clarke comes casually strolling into the building, closing the door behind him. Edward yells at Clyde for not locking the door after letting Solomon in. Fortunately, Edward recognizes Robin as one of Benjamin Taylor's lieutenants, a somewhat trustworthy man to them. Robin explains that he has no clue where Benjamin or anybody else is, stating that he and Shane Haywood removed Benjamin from power and took over, sending him away in the process. After coming up to speed, Edward tells Robin their plan of taking the bus and driving out to look for the rest of their friends. As Robin is going on about all the modifications they can make to the bus, Clyde reminisces about a film he was in where he was riding on a bus with machine guns mounted on the side.

After the storm dies down, Clyde and the others make their way out to the bus and climb in. As he's setting into his seat, Clyde asks Edward where their destination is. Edward says that they will drive around the places in Willamette that weren't destroyed in the war and hopefully find some of their old friends. As Edward starts up the bus, Clyde fastens his seatbelt, stating that safety always comes first. Edward sighs at him, before he drives the bus out of the lot.

#### "**On the Move**"

On the bus, Clyde is seated and looking out the windows as they drive through a neighbourhood. Out of boredom, Jared and Solomon start singing "The Wheels on the Bus", and Clyde joins in, until Edward threatens to drive the bus off the road if they don't shut up. Clyde quiets down, and tries playing I spy, but that doesn't work out either. Suddenly, the bus begins making strange, sputtering noises, before it rolls to a stop. Clyde wonders why Edward stopped, and Edward yells at him that they're out of gas. Clyde suggests that they just go find a gas station, to which Edward welcomes him to go do so. It's then that Clyde realizes that there are likely no gas stations nearby. Edward declares that it's close to night already, and they'll need to take shelter inside a house until morning. Quickly, every gathers up their things and steps off the bus. As they're doing so, Clyde recounts the events of his movie "Hitchhiker", until Edward shushes him. Mere seconds after exiting the bus, zombies are already stumbling towards the group from all sides. Clyde assures them all he has this handled, until he realizes that he left his knife on the bus, and has to go back in and get it. As he's doing so, Robin begins shooting at the zombies, which only draws more of them to their location. Soon, zombies are circling them, providing no way out. Then, a door to one of the many homes swings open, and Benjamin Taylor yells for them all to get in. Clyde and everyone else hurry inside without question.

Inside the house, Clyde looks around, noting how secure it is with all the windows boarded up. With Benjamin is one of his loyal men, Mike Simpson. Clyde greets and thanks Benjamin for saving them, and Benjamin says that it's the least he could do for their rescue of his daughter. As Clyde is settling into the place, Benjamin tells them all that he and Mike are out to kill Badrick, and then they'll be going on a journey to find a man named Cornelius Dance, however, Benjamin refuses to elaborate on who Dance is.

#### "**The Golden Goose**"

The next morning, everyone but Jared gathers around in the living room whilst Benjamin explains that Mike has located a gas station nearby, and they'll be heading there to gather gasoline for the bus. Clyde understands, but he's still not on board with the idea of driving around town afterwards looking for a man who, for all they know, could already be dead. Benjamin refuses to believe that Badrick is dead, though. As the group is preparing to leave, Clyde wonders why Jared hasn't woken up yet. Edward says that they'll let him sleep and go without him.

The group heads out towards the gas station, and take a back lane through the neighbourhood to get there, which reminds Clyde about another movie of his titled "Back Lane Boys". A little further on, Benjamin and Robin start arguing with each other over Robin being a traitor to Benjamin. After they calm down, Solomon makes a comment about them needing group therapy, which Clyde is surprised to agree with. When the crew finally arrive at the gas station, they find that it's infested with zombies, meaning it won't be easy to get their gasoline.

Edward and Mike quickly take on the task of clearing out the zombies. While waiting around, Clyde suggests that they get all the gasoline cans they can scrounge up and load it into one of the trucks. Benjamin likes his plan, and sends him and Solomon to gather up the cans, whilst Robin hotwires the truck. Clyde works with Solomon, picking up all the cans they can find and loading them into the back of the truck. When Robin finally gets the truck started, everyone jumps in and they speed off.

#### "**State of Mind**"

The next day, Clyde comes walking into the house, excitedly telling everyone that the bus was refueled and ready to go. Edward takes the moment to ask Benjamin about this mysterious Cornelius Dance man, and where he was going once Badrick was dead. Reluctantly, Benjamin agrees to tell them all. Clyde takes a seat, listening intently. Benjamin puts it bluntly, stating that he had a hand in creating the zombie virus, which completely takes Clyde off guard. As Benjamin is continuing with his story, he mentions his company, Taylor & Co, a company Clyde remembers sponsoring one of his movies. Realizing he was interrupting Benjamin's story, Clyde apologizes and tells him to continue. Benjamin does continue, and explains that, in an attempt to save his daughter's life, funded Cornelius Dance and another man so that they could supposedly create a cure for cancer. Instead, they used the funds to make the zombie virus. Clyde can't believe what he's hearing. However, the main goal for the time being remains on killing Badrick, but Clyde still isn't even sure the man is alive.

#### "**Reunion**"

The follow day, Clyde comes walking downstairs, stopping by a calendar and noting that it's already been several weeks since the initial outbreak. Benjamin then abruptly enters the room, stating that it was time to pack up and leave. He says that it's no longer safe here because of the undead. Suddenly, a gunshot comes from within the backyard. Clyde and the others rush outside where they find Robin performing target practice on glass bottles. Edward yells at him for being a fool, before everyone heads back inside. Clyde heads to the window, where he notices a horde of zombies coming up to their house. He chuckles nervously as the zombies reach the front door and start banging on it. Without delay, Clyde hurries to the door and puts his back to it, whilst his companions quarrel with each other. After a few moments, Robin tells Clyde to open the door, assuring him that he had this handled. Clyde doesn't think it's a good idea, but Robin pushes him aside and opens the door anyway, allowing the zombies to funnel inside. Robin begins shooting at the horde, thinning their numbers, but not fast enough. Clyde ends up getting surrounded by a group of zombies, and almost becomes their breakfast until Robin and Edward save him. As the house becomes full of the undead, Clyde and everyone else hurry to the window and jump out. The group manages to make it to the bus safely, and Benjamin speeds off. Inside the bus, Edward continues yelling at Robin for nearly getting them all killed. Clyde stays out of it, and instead he assists Benjamin, directing him to a nearby brewery.

At the brewery, Clyde happily clinks his glass with Edward and takes a shot of whiskey, saying that they all earned these drinks. After his shot, Clyde sets his glass down and once again asks what the **real** plan is, specifically where they're going to look for Badrick. Benjamin simply says that they'll look everywhere. Getting drunk, Clyde begins to ramble on about his near death experience back at the house, recalling how one zombie who nearly bit him had a nice pair of sunglasses on. Then, Edward and Robin get to arguing again, and it eventually leads to Edward stating that Robin almost got his best friend killed. Clyde picks up on "best friend" and celebrates, knowing that Edward considers him as his best friend.

#### "**The Mist**"

Later that night, Clyde comes walking over to Edward, who's preparing to go to sleep. He sits next to him, telling him that he no longer needs to block everyone out of his life, at least not around him. Edward says that he needs to block people out in order to protect himself. Clyde tells him that he hasn't ever given people a chance, and wonders if Edward only blocks people out of his life because he's never had any real friends, like Clyde himself, who admits it. He tells Edward that he is the first real friend he's ever had, and he would feel accomplished if Edward considered him a real friend too. Turning to him, Edward nods slowly, stating that Clyde is the first true friend he's ever had. Benjamin abruptly comes storming into the room, telling everyone that they needed to leave immediately because of more zombies. Sighing, Clyde heads outside with the others and gets onto the bus.

Robin begins driving the bus around Willamette, but he has to slow down in order to navigate through the darkness, the fog, and the snow. After a while, Robin begins driving recklessly, flinging Clyde from his seat, Edward as well. To make things worse, Robin then abruptly slams on the brakes, causing Clyde to hit his head. Furious, Edward storms up to the front of the bus and begins fighting to get control of the steering wheel. Angered at Edward, Robin slams his foot on the gas, sending the bus straight into a concrete wall, breaking the vehicle. When Edward realizes the bus is destroyed, he lunges at Robin with a knife. Clyde runs at Edward, holding him back all while Robin calls Edward out as being delusional. Edward yells back at him, ignoring Benjamin's plea to quiet down.

After a while of sitting in the bus, zombies begin surrounding them, banging on the vehicle. Realizing that they're already surrounded, Robin fires up at the glass hatch, breaking it open. He then climbs up onto the roof of the bus, encouraging the others to do the same. Clyde, worried about what lurks in the mist, doesn't want to leave the safety of the bus, but Edward tells him its too late now that Robin's shot off a bullet. Clyde reluctantly climbs up into the cold. When everyone else is on the roof, Edward points out a bakery across the street and reckons that they should be safe inside there. Robin tells Clyde and the others to follow his lead, as he jumps down off the bus, clearing away a few of the zombies and allowing Clyde and everyone else to jump off. As they're all running to the bakery, a zombie latches itself onto Clyde, pulling him into the mist. Edward rushes after his friend, abandoning the others.

Edward makes it over to Clyde, who is holding a zombie off of him. However, as Edward is trying to save him, another zombie tackles him to the ground. Nearby, the both of them can see the muzzle flashes of Robin's pistols shooting at zombies. Edward yells to him for help, but Robin gives them no aid. Another zombie stacks onto the one already on Clyde, making it harder to hold them off. Using all his strength, Edward pushes the one zombie off him and then saves Clyde, killing both that are on him. It's only then that Robin finally makes his way over to them. Fuming, Edward begins punching Robin, unaware that just behind him, Damerae Badrick has snuck up has grabbed Clyde, and is holding him hostage, a knife to his throat. Clyde promises Edward that everything will be okay. Badrick warns Edward and Robin that what they say now could be the difference between Clyde's survival and death. Robin then takes out of his pistol, but keeps it down. Badrick warns that Clyde is a dead man if Robin tries anything. Slowly, Badrick begins backing down an alley, using Clyde as a shield. Deciding that Clyde was a dead man no matter what, Robin then points his gun to Badrick, but Edward yells, shoving a zombie into Robin and preventing him from shooting. Suddenly, another gunshot fires through the mist towards Badrick: it's Benjamin. The bullet misses, but it causes Badrick to stumble to the ground, giving Clyde the chance to escape. However, a terrified Clyde doesn't know what to do, and Badrick has enough time to get up, driving his knife into Clyde's left eye. Screaming, Clyde falls over. Edward tries helping Clyde, but Robin throws a zombie at him. This allows Badrick to run down the alley and hop the fence, escaping. Benjamin sprints past Edward and the wounded Clyde, trying to go after Badrick, but Edward yells at him to stop. Reluctantly, Benjamin lets Badrick go. After dealing with the zombie, Edward helps Clyde to his feet, as blood pours out of his eye socket, some of it freezing to his face. The group make it all the way down the street, but zombies are quickly encircling them. Suddenly, the back door to a bowling alley bursts open, and Wilbur Wright yells for them all to get inside. Edward, mustering up all the strength he can, helps Clyde into the bowling alley.

Inside, Edward sits Clyde down onto a couch, before leaving him to deal with something else.

#### "**Red Asphalt**"

Offscreen, Clyde has his eye bandaged up. Edward comes over to sit beside his friend, shaking his head with concern.

#### "**What Comes After**"

After some time, Clyde finally wakes up. Edward comes to visit him soon after, telling him that the bandage over his eye makes him look like an action hero. Clyde doesn't think so. He sits up, telling Edward that he heard about what happened to Robin -- how he was murdered by Edward shortly after the events in the mist. Edward doesn't regret what he did, stating that it was Robin who nearly got Clyde killed. Nodding his head, Clyde then asks what the plan is now. Edward says that Benjamin is planning on going on his mission to locate Cornelius Dance, but that he'll to his best to convince him not to. Clyde asks if they're still going after Badrick, and Edward says that they are, no matter what. Clyde wonders what their other options are, and Edwards says that there is a football stadium that might be of interest, but they're unsure yet. Clyde says they should give the stadium a shot, encouraging Edward to go and talk to Benjamin to convince him to abandon his personal mission for the time being. Edward nods, looking at Benjamin in the distance. He tells Clyde to rest up, before getting up and leaving.

Later that day, the group is preparing to depart -- they were headed for the stadium. Clyde jokes that the stadium will at least be a change of scenery for **the eye**. Edward is glad that Clyde has a sense of humour about losing his eye.

The group leaves the bowling alley, taking Wilbur's truck to travel out of town. On their way out, they pass by the Willamette High School, which has just recently been partially destroyed, as evident by the smoke rising from the blown open back gate. Clyde thinks that the school might have supplies, and suggests that they go check it out. Benjamin agrees, and stops the truck. Everyone heads into the school except for Wilbur and Mike. After entering the courtyard and looking upon the dozens of fresh zombie corpses, it reminds both Clyde and Edward of the mall attack. Claire Noble, a friend of Wilbur, asks to know more about the mall. Clyde and Edward simply state that Badrick has "done something terrible to most of the people we've met", and that he was going to pay for it. After entering the school, the survivors come across even more zombie corpses; a battle had taken place here not long ago. Suddenly, a noise from the middle of the room stops everyone in their tracks. Clyde looks over, and notices Dean Howards sitting on his knees. Clyde rushes over to him, grinning in excitement that they'd found one of their friends. However, his smile disappears when he sees how disheveled and broken Dean looks. He asks Dean what happened. Dean looks up to him, his eyes filled with tears. "Badrick.", he says.

### **Season 4**

#### "**The Greater Good**"

Picking up only minutes after the last episode, Clyde tries approaching Dean once more, attempting to get him to explain what happened. Dean, however, is hardly able to speak, and is making no sense. Edward gets into his face, asking to know if it was Badrick who did this. Dean vaguely explains that it was Badrick who came and destroyed everything, but that's all he knows about. Everyone but Dean gathers around to discuss what to do. Clyde thinks that they should wait here and give Dean some time. Benjamin agrees to the plan. After only a couple of minutes, Edward goes back to bombarding Dean with questions about Badrick and the other mall survivors. Dean, in his traumatized state, constantly contradicts himself in his explanation, leaving everyone confused - but he is certain that Curtis Van Horn, Quincy Atherton, Monica Reynolds and Teddy are all dead. As Dean continues on, Clyde eventually says that they should let Dean rest, as he's clearly not in a sane state. However, Dean continues on, now talking about Jim Butterman, mentioning that he suffered. Clyde kneels down to Dean, asking him about Jim, which sends Dean into a panic. Finally, Clyde decides that he needs to take Dean elsewhere to rest. He helps Dean up and escorts him to the library.

In the library, Clyde sits Dean down on a couch and tells him to call him back when he's feeling better. However, Dean immediately starts rambling on about the death of Erin and her baby. Clyde, unsure what to do, begins heading towards the door, telling Dean to rest well. Before Clyde leaves, Dean finally recognizes just who Clyde is, and asks him why he's wearing a bandage over his eye. "Just -- rest, my friend." Clyde says, before leaving the room.

Clyde comes back into the foyer with the rest of the group, getting Solomon to go in and watch over Dean for the time being.

Later on, Clyde enters the back courtyard, where he notices a truck parked off the road a little ways down. On his way over, he notices a zombie crawling on the ground. Feeling sorry for it, he puts it down with his knife. As Clyde is putting the knife away, a second zombie lunges at him, and pins him to the ground. He struggles with it for a few moments before a machete goes through the back of its head, killing it. Claire pulls the corpse off Clyde and offers him a hand, which he takes, thanking the woman for her help. Once on his feet, Claire jokes about Clyde obviously not doing his own stunts. Clyde takes the joke well, and then goes on to mention how incapable he is at dealing with zombies, especially now that he has one eye. Claire says that she'd be willing to help him train. Clyde says that he'd appreciate that. When Claire says that they can start now, Clyde bows his head, asking her where they start.

#### "**Gunpoint**"

In the school foyer, Clyde is practicing how to swing a baseball bat with Claire. She first corrects Clyde's posture, and then has Clyde swing his back -- which he does poorly. She tells him to keep trying, and he'll get better. Huffing and puffing, Clyde continues swinging the bat. As he's up to it, Edward comes strolling though, asking Clyde if he had to practice indoors. Just as he's warning Clyde about losing control of the bat, Clyde loses control of the bat, and it clatters off the floor. He goes to pick it up and continue practicing. Nearby, Benjamin and Mike are taking a look at a map, deciding whether they should still go to the football stadium. Clyde stops his swinging for a moment to voice his opinion on the matter, explaining that it was likely their best shot. He goes on, blabbering about a movie he starred in who was a football player.

Later on, Clyde is standing around outside when he notices a corpse out on the street. He approaches, looking down at the unidentifiable corpse, remarking that they had met an unfortunate fate. Dean, wondering what Clyde was looking at, comes staggering over, and drops to his knees when he finds the corpse. When Dean starts tearing up, Clyde asks him what's wrong, and Dean reveals that the corpse is the remains of Jim. When Edward asks Dean about what happened to him, Dean admits that it was partially his fault, stating that Badrick had secretly chained Jim to the back of a truck and forced Dean to drive. Clyde frowns hearing him, and assures Dean that the blood isn't on his hands. Edward leverages the moment to try and encourage everyone about how Badrick must be killed. After, Clyde walks up to Edward, and quietly tells him that he must not let his bloodthirst for Badrick consume him. Edward is angered at his comment, and reminds him that it was Badrick who took his eye. Clyde says that he doesn't really care, and he doesn't want to stoop to Badrick's vengeful level. Annoyed, Edward stomps off, Clyde frowning at him.

Sometime later, Clyde and Claire are out with Dean, who is digging a grave for Jim. Clyde asks if he needs any help, but Dean refuses their help, adamant that this is his job. As he continues digging, Clyde admits that he's concerned for Edward and the path he's on. Dean isn't sure what to think about the whole thing, but he's thankful that Clyde and Claire are here with him. Suddenly, Claire spots a pair of figures approaching from the distance. Quickly, Dean recognizes one of them as Randall Forster. As Dean and Randall are catching up, Clyde looks on at the other man with Randall. He instantly recognizes him as Michael Hall, the man who he stabbed while rescuing Sarah. Randall steps in, assuring Clyde that Michael is not the same person as he was then. Clyde is ready to forgive Michael then and there, but suddenly Edward comes marching out, locking eyes with Michael and quickly asking why nobody had killed him yet. Clyde asks Edward to calm down, and says that they should do some catching up instead of recounting the things they already know about. Everyone agrees, except for Edward, who doesn't give a definitive yes or no answer.

#### "**Consequence**"

Out in the courtyard, Clyde and Claire are with Dean again as he's filling in the grave he dug. As he's doing it, Dean recalls one of his memories with Jim, about how Jim had managed to calm Dean down after an outburst of his. Clyde smiles, remarking that Jim was good at that stuff. He goes on, mentioning that he never thought he himself would be cut out for this world, but now that he's met some good people, he's learnt to be more humble. Dean nods and chuckles, remembering how Clyde was back at the mall. "You seem like a better man now, Rollins." Dean tells him, which Clyde is grateful to hear. Nearby, a zombie stumbles out of the woods, and Clyde knows it's his chance to shine. He glances down at his baseball bat, then walks forward, letting out a battle cry as he smacks the zombie to the ground, beating its head in. He straightens himself up, proud that he'd finally killed a zombie with confidence.

Later, Clyde is inside with the others when Benjamin, Mike, Edward and Solomon return from their scouting trip to the stadium. However, they're back with bigger news - Badrick's location. Without question, everyone starts arming up - except for Clyde and the injured Michael. When Randall mentions how injured Michael is, Edward suggests that they leave him and let him die in peace, but Randall doesn't want that. Clyde says that he could stay behind with Michael, stating that he wouldn't be of much help out on the field anyway. There's no one arguing it, it's settled - Clyde will stay behind. Clyde approaches Claire, telling her that she didn't have to go - and that she could stay and guard the school with him. Claire, however, says that she has to help. She smiles at him, and goes to leave with the others. Before Edward exits as well, Clyde stops him, pleading with him that he be safe and rational. Edward, seemingly not even hearing his words, says that he will do **whatever** it takes to kill Badrick. Clyde begs Edward to play it safe and not let Badrick have the satisfaction of killing Edward as well. Edward, however, isn't one bit concerned, and again states that he **will** kill Badrick. As Edward goes to leave, Clyde tells him once more to be safe.

After the group leaves, Clyde goes to see Michael in the library. While there, Clyde takes the time to apologize for stabbing Michael that one time. However, Michael assures Clyde that he did the right thing, and that he deserved it. Michael then sits up from the couch, asking Clyde to take him outside. Clyde isn't sure it's a good idea, but Michael is persistent about it.

Clyde takes him outside to the courtyard, where Michael goes over to Jim's grave. He stops in front of it, frowning and remembering how good of a man Jim was to him, even after everything terrible Michael had done. Out of nowhere, Clyde and Michael then see Claire, followed by Dean, Solomon and Wilbur rushing out of the woods and towards the school. Dean shouts that it didn't go well, as he hurries into the school.

Everyone heads into the school, Clyde demanding to know what happened and where everyone else was. Dean explains that it all went to shit immediately--they were outmanned and outgunned from the beginning. Suddenly, the front doors push open, and Benjamin, Edward and Randall step it. Mike is nowhere to be found, and Benjamin sadly confirms that he didn't make it. A bitter and upset Edward says that they have to get back out there and pursue Edward, but not a single other person agrees with him. Edward goes silent. Clyde frowns toward Edward. After a few minutes of debating and arguing, Michael tells everyone to get down. A barrage of gunfire lights up the school, bullets flying all around Clyde -- and then it goes quiet. A second later, a windows is heard smashing, and a grenade lands directly next to Wilbur. It explodes, instantly killing the man. As the school comes under attack from Rastas, Clyde and everyone but Michael rush out.

#### "**All the King's Men**"

After escaping the school, the remaining survivors are travelling down a dirt path in the woods, unsure of where to go next. Some think that they should continue on to the football stadium, but others, like Clyde don't think it's a good idea. He reckons that they take a break, reminding them all about the three men they just lost to Badrick. Edward says that's three more reasons to go hunt down Badrick, but not a single person is on board with him. Eventually, its decided that Clyde, Ben, Edward, Dean and Randall will head to the stadium, whilst Claire and Solomon head into town to try and locate Solomon a new prosthetic arm, since his old one got broken during the fighting. Clyde approaches Claire before she leaves, thanking her for everything, which Claire finds amusing, saying that this wasn't goodbye forever. Clyde watches sadly as she and Solomon walk off.

After some time, Clyde and the others arrive outside the football stadium, where they discover that the place has become a warzone -- the Rastas are attacking the stadium. Immediately, Edward concludes that **this** is their chance to kill Badrick. With nobody else following him, Edward hastily limps off towards the stadium. Clyde, watching Edward go, tells the others that he can't let Edward die, even if he knows he's not brave enough to fight. He takes out his pistol and goes after Edward. Dean and Randall follow behind - but Benjamin remains in place.

Clyde, Edward, Dean and Randall come rushing in to the stadium, where they quickly come across Daniel Rockwell pinned behind cover. He informs them that Badrick was just here, and that he escaped through a stairwell. Daniel, Edward, Dean and Randall clear a few Rastas in their way, whilst Clyde only shoots his gun once, missing anyone by a mile. Edward hurries ahead of everybody else, going up the stairwell.

Clyde rushes after Edward, and when he makes it up the stairs he sees Edward pinned down behind cover, without a gun, and shot in the arm. A Rasta begins moving up on Edward, but he is suddenly shot in the head by Clyde. After the man drops dead, Clyde rushes over to Edward to check on him. Edward, wincing in pain, gets back on his feet, declaring that Badrick was nearby, and he had to get him. Clyde pleads with Edward not to go because of his injured arm, but Edward doesn't listen to him and goes off by himself, leaving Clyde and the others to defend the hallways.

#### "**Moment of Silence**"

After the conclusion of the stadium battle, Clyde heads out onto the field, looking around at the carnage. However, the Rastas had been defeated once and for all, and Clyde was reunited with everyone from the mall who were being held captive at the stadium before the Rastas arrived. After a while of standing about, Clyde decides to go off in search of Edward.

He finds Edward out in the parking lot, sitting next to the zombified corpse of Badrick. As Clyde is walking up to him, Edward turns his back, and starts cutting off Badrick's head. After a few moments of struggling, Edward successfully cuts off Badrick's head, though it continues groaning, its mouth still moving. Clyde looks at it in horror, asking Edward what he was going to do with it. When Edward doesn't reply, Clyde says that Edward should try to focus on surviving now that Badrick is dead. Edward, however, tells Clyde that he's only interesting in savouring the moment now. He thanks Clyde for saving him back in the stadium, and Clyde says that it's what best friends are for. He asks Edward if he'll come back into the stadium with him, and Edward says he will. But before going, he picks up Badrick's head.

Clyde and Edward return to the field, where Edward goes on to show everyone the head of Badrick. After a couple minutes, Clyde looks on as Jared is seen stepping onto the field. He calls out to Jared in excitement, happy to see that he was alive after losing him back in the mist. However, things turn ugly quickly when Jared is called out by the others for hiding during the duration of the battle. Jared ends up pissing off Jon Matthews, who unleashes his anger, beating the hell out of Jared. Clyde watches the confrontation awkwardly, unsure about what to say or do.

Later, Clyde approaches Edward after listening in on his and Benjamin's conversation about Badrick. Clyde sits next to Edward, and asks him if he's ready to move on from Badrick. He recognizes how unsatisfied Edward is, but upon hearing this, Edward snaps at Clyde, stating that he is fine. Clyde lowers his tone, telling Edward that he misses the Edward who convinced him to step up and become a better person. He's hated seeing Edward consumed by vengeance, and he pleads with Edward to just let it go. Edward, frowns, looking down at Sarah's friendship bracelet, and then to the zombified head of Badrick. He thanks Clyde, before stepping on Badrick's head, crushing it. The two of them share a hug, and Edward walks off, Clyde happy to know that Edward has moved on.

#### "**That Sweet Temptation**"

The next day, Clyde is up attending a group meeting with everyone else. He listens in as William tells everyone that they'll be departing from the stadium within the next day or two and leaving Willamette all together.

After the meeting, Clyde goes walking around the stands, where he finds Edward sitting alone. He approaches, wondering why he wasn't at the group meeting, and then telling him what William said about moving. He recalls many of Edward previous talks about leaving Willamette, but Edward says he hasn't thought about it for a while. Clyde nods slowly, going on to ask confirm whether or not Edward was staying with them. Edward quickly realizes that Clyde has already decided he'll be going with them, but Edward himself isn't so sure of it yet. He tells Clyde that he doesn't feel like he belongs here. However, Clyde reassures Edward that everyone here is on his side, and that everyone else had to suffer through Badrick as well. He reminds Edward that it was Badrick who brought Edward and him together as friends. Edward, realizing Clyde is right, decides he'll tag along with them. The conversation shifts into Clyde's relationship with Claire after he mentions not wanting to leave until she and Solomon return from the hospital. Clyde nervously admits that he's starting to really like Claire. Edward simply looks on, nodding with an emotionless face. Before leaving, Clyde thanks Edward again for deciding to stay with them.

#### "**Revelations**"

Towards the front doors of the stadium, Clyde is practicing swinging his bat, whilst Edward watches him, unimpressed. He reminds Clyde that he has a pistol, the pistol he used to kill the man attacking Edward. Clyde says that it was just a lucky shot, and all he could think about was saving Clyde. Edward nods, telling Clyde that he's thankful for having a companion like him. He then looks towards the ground, getting ready to tell Clyde something-- but there's suddenly a knock at the front doors. Clyde looks over and sees Claire, Solomon and another teenager with them. Clyde happily lets them inside, telling Claire that he was worried that they wouldn't return. Claire, noticing his honesty, says that she too was worried. As Clyde is in the middle of rambling, Claire quiets him and gives him a hug, which Clyde is pleasantly surprised by. Unbeknownst to Clyde, Edward walks out of the room after their hug. Meanwhile, Clyde is catching Claire up on what happened until she stops him, introducing Clyde to Lloyd Waller, the teenager with them. She explains that they wouldn't have made it out of the hospital without Lloyd's help. Clyde looks at the boy, thanking him and saying that he'll fit well into their group. He then leads all of them out into the rest of the stadium.

He takes them out onto the field, introducing Lloyd to some of the people on the field. One of them being William, who Lloyd instantly recognizes as his teacher. Clyde smiles as Lloyd is reunited with William.

Later that night, Clyde is up in the stands by himself, taking a load off, when Claire comes walking up to him. She begins the conversation by asking if "we're" joining William's group when they leave. Clyde picks up on here saying 'we', and takes the moment to tell her that he likes her. Claire says that it's mutual. Clyde smiles, looking ahead, as Claire rests her head on his shoulder.

#### "**The Road Ahead**"

The next morning, Clyde comes walking out into the parking lot with Claire, preparing to leave the stadium with the others. Edward comes walking out after them, and Clyde smiles, wishing him a good morning. Edward mumbles out a "morning" to them, and smiles faintly, but not for long. Clyde asks if he'll be riding with them in the RV, but Edward says that he'll ride in one of the cars. Without saying anything further, he walks away, getting into Daniel Rockwell's car. Clyde frowns, getting into the RV with Claire.

#### "**The Beginning**"

After the group are stopped by a landslide, Clyde goes out to help clear the rocks with Claire, the both of them getting along well together.

Later, when the group stops at a gas station just outside Denver, Clyde and Claire go to clear out the main building. After clearing it, they assure Daniel, Lolida Windfield and Isaac Moses that it's safe to head inside.

At night, after most of the group have left to go on a mission into Denver, Clyde is out on guard duty with Claire. Clyde, being close a large city, begins talking about his career and how he loved being an actor. Although Clyde enjoyed making movies, he says that he never really had any real friends within Hollywood, but now that the world has gone to hell, he's got plenty of real friends. He tells Claire that he's worrying about one of them--Edward. Claire tells him that he should go and talk to Edward, but Clyde isn't so sure. However, after Claire kisses him, Clyde, smiling, says that he'll go and talk to him per her request.

Clyde finds Edward sitting on a flat-bed truck by himself, behind the gas station. He smiles, approaching him and taking a seat beside him. He gets right to the point, asking if everything was okay with him. Edward says that he's fine, but Clyde isn't believing him. After being pressured by Clyde, Edward finally opens up to him, telling Clyde that he's the only person he's genuinely cared for since his own mother, and he confesses his feelings for him. Clyde freezes up, unsure of what to say. Frowning, he tells Edward that no matter what, he won't think differently of Edward, but he doesn't have the same feelings for him. He admits to him that he and Claire are now together. Nodding, Edward climbs off the truck, relived to have gotten that off his chest. He limps off quickly, ignoring Clyde's calls for him to come back.

### **Season 5**

#### "**Day By Day**"

Seven weeks after leaving Denver, Clyde and the group are now outside of Garden City, Kansas. Sitting on some swings, Clyde is talking to Claire about how peaceful it is out here. However, Clyde admits that it's been **too** peaceful, and Clyde is beginning to become bored of travelling from place to place without any thrill. Nearby, Clyde espies Edward emerging from the woods, and walking off somewhere. Upon seeing him, Claire brings up the fact that Clyde hasn't spoken to Edward in weeks. Clyde, who still hasn't told Claire about Edward's confession, lies and says that they haven't spoken because Edward is unsatisfied with killing Badrick. Claire believes him, but says that he should go speak to Edward.

The group manages to clear out a couple of houses to stay in for the night, and later that night during dinner, Clyde is eating with Claire. Clyde glances around the room, searching for Edward, but can't find him. Claire tells him to go and look for Edward and to bring him some food. Clyde agrees to go.

Clyde heads outside where he finds Dean sitting on the back porch. He asks if he knows where Edward is, and Dean says that he was just here, and went off towards another house. Dean warns that Edward doesn't seem to be in the right place and should be left along, but Clyde nonetheless plans to go and talk to him.

At the house next door, Clyde finds Edward seated at a table by himself, sitting in the dark. Clyde awkwardly makes his presence known, then asks how he is. Edward states that he's fine, as he goes to grab his cane. Quickly, Clyde tells him to hold on before he does 'the usual'. When Edward asks what that means, Clyde says that Edward's always been avoiding him. Edward cuts Clyde off as he's about to bring up the reason, claiming that it wasn't just **that**. Angrily, he admits that it was a mistake to confess his feelings to Clyde, remarking that people have done nothing for him his whole life, and he was a fool to start relying on Clyde. When Clyde mentions Sarah, Edward retorts back by saying that his heart isn't black, but that both Sarah and her father are dead, Sarah because she was weak, and Benjamin because she made him weak. "That's all other people do now, Clyde, they make you weak." He says. Clyde tries to assure Edward that there's much more than that, but Edward doesn't wanna hear it. Grinning, Edward thinks back to when he killed Badrick, and says that he likes the world better now than before, and he plans to carve out a portion of what's of the world for himself. Clyde realizes that Edward is talking about creating his own group, and tries telling him that he's being irrational. Edward, grabbing his things and getting ready to leave, tells Clyde that he'll always appreciate what he's taught him, and that he's one of the only real friends he's known. Frowning, Clyde asks Edward if they're still friends. He reminds Edward that it was him who helped Clyde becoming a braver man, and he'll always be there for Edward because of that. But he doesn't think that Edward has to live alone because he's had some bad experiences. After listening to him, Edward simply states that they're still friends, before he hobbles out of the house, leaving Clyde.

#### "**A Good Man**"

The group later moves into a motel outside of Garden City. Clyde and Claire help Ed Anderson in barricading some of the broken sections of the fence with wooden planks.

Later that night, Clyde exits his motel room, and notices Edward leaning on the balcony nearby. He approaches and awkwardly asks if Edward would mind joining him and Claire for dinner. Edward, however, says that he can't. When asked why, Edward says that he's already eaten, but he greatly appreciates the offer. As Clyde turns to go back to his room, Edward calls out to him, telling Clyde that he is a good friend. Clyde nods, telling Edward the same thing, before heading back inside.

An hour or two later, after dinner, Clyde is sitting up on his bed, looking unlike himself. Claire lowers the book that she's reading, noticing Clyde's weird behaviour. Clyde acts like he's fine at first, but eventually admits that he's worried about Edward since he was being so nice to him in their last conversation. Claire thinks that nothing's wrong, and that it's just Edward being Edward, but Clyde doesn't feel the same. He eventually gets up and leaves the room, walking down the balcony until he arrives at Edward's room. When there's no answer, Clyde opens the unlocked door, finding a note on the bed from Edward. He bends down and picks up the note. In it, Edward writes to Clyde that he has left the group to go and create something for himself. He makes it clear in the note that he respects Clyde for standing by him all this time, and hopes to meet him again in the future.

#### "**Over and Over**"

Clyde heads back to his room, letting Claire read the letter. When she finishes, Clyde says that he has to go after him and convince him to come back. Claire stands up, telling Clyde that he's being insane to think that he'll be able to find and bring Edward back when he doesn't even know which direction he went. Clyde nods slowly, admitting that Claire is right, but that he still has to try. Angered, Claire declares that she won't let Clyde leave. Clyde urges Claire to sit back down. When she does, Clyde begins telling her about how he was once in a similar situation where he could've retired and lived in retirement with the girl of his dreams, or go back out and save the world... in Secret Agents 2, one of his movies. Claire stands back up, furious, calling Clyde a moron for even thinking about going out to get Edward. She storms out of the room.

Later into the night, Clyde is out on the balcony, muttering to himself about how he should tell Claire that he's made up his mind. Suddenly, Layton Zimmers appears beside him, scaring Clyde. Layton apologies and says that he was just out here looking for his glasses. Clyde points out that he's wearing his glasses, and Layton chuckles to himself, congratulating himself for finding them. As Clyde starts to tell Layton about what he's up to, Layton cuts him off and says that he heard him talking about Claire. He thinks that Claire and Clyde have broke up, and mentions that he had issues with his wife too. Clyde quickly explains that he hasn't broke up with Claire, but that Edward had left. Layton claims to have already known that, and then puts a hand on Clyde's shoulder, asking him if he's **sure** Edward really wants to be found. He says that maybe Edward wanted to part on good terms with Clyde. Clyde stands there, dumbfounded, shocked that Layton's words had perhaps changed his mind. Layton then climbs onto the railing, telling Clyde to consider his words carefully, before he leaps off to the parking lot below, and then walks off.

After his talk with Layton, Clyde heads back to his motel room, where Claire has returned and is reading her book. Clyde closes the door and apologizes to Claire for being irrational. Claire mentions that Edward is lucky to have a friend like Clyde. But Edward is gone now, and the group still needs Clyde. Nodding, Clyde admits that it's best for him if he lets Edward go, but he'll never forget Edward for encouraging him to step up and become a braver man. Claire gets up and gives him a hug, telling him that she's proud of him for doing the right thing.

The next day, Clyde is present for Albert's funeral after Jared claims that he was killed by zombies.

At night, Clyde is present when Jared is hanged by William for causing the deaths of Albert and Isaac Moses.

#### "**His Resolve**"

As Clyde and Claire come walking out of their room at the motel, they notice something happening down in the parking lot. When they approach, Clyde realizes that there's new people; a new group. He introduces himself to them, and quickly most of them recognize him as the movies star that he was. Wesley Randolph, however, mishears Clyde and asks if his name is "Slyde Lawlins". Clyde corrects him. As the group is getting welcomed in by Kate and most others, William and Jon are seen walking over. When William sees what's happening, he immediately demands that they leave the motel. Clyde stands back, staying quiet Kate and Dean begin arguing with William that they can't send them back out on the road. The confrontation escalates when William tells Jon to shoot them if they don't leave in ten seconds. As Jon is counting, Clyde finally speaks up, agreeing with Kate, Dean and a few others. He walks up to William, asking him to please reconsider and let the new people stay. William simply shakes his head at Clyde, ignoring him. Angered, Clyde goes to step in front of Jon, blocking him from shooting the new group. Jon demands that Clyde get out of his way, but when Clyde refuses to, Jon shoves him aside to the ground, stating that they don't know if they're innocent people or not. Seeing this, Claire rushes in and tries to fight back against Jon, but Jon pushes Claire to the ground as well, and she hits her head, leaving her with a bleeding nose. With nothing left they can do, Clyde can do nothing but watch as Aidan Eldridge and his group are kicked out of the motel by William and sent back off down the road. After William walks off, Clyde gets back to his feet, trying to inspire those who agreed with him not to give up. However, Claire quietly tells Clyde that it's over. Jon steps up to Clyde, telling Clyde he was lucky he didn't knock his teeth out for what he did, before he angrily walks off. Meanwhile, Daniel spots Kate frowning at him, and he angrily tells her that he enjoys seeing her pout, and that she is stupid for wanting to let Aidan's group in. Hearing him, Clyde steps forward and punches Daniel square in the nose. He then punches him again, knocking Daniel down and, because of Daniel's injuries he's still recovering from, knocks him out. Clyde stands up straight, telling the rest of the group that he was going to do the right thing and follow Aidan's group in order to make sure they stay safe. Claire tries warning Clyde that it's not that simple, but Clyde still says he'll do it.

#### "**The Right Thing**"

In downtown Garden City, Clyde is sitting atop a rooftop, peering through a set of binoculars at an office building a couple of blocks away, keeping an eye on Aidan and his group, who he knew had gotten trapped inside there. Determined to save them, he packs away the binoculars and starts climbing down a ladder.

Clyde returns to the motel and immediately heads into one of the rooms with Kate, Marcus, Dean, Claire and Randall, all of whom want to help save Aidan's group. Clyde informs them about the whereabouts of the group, and knows that time is running out to save them. However, he's worried about what William and Jon will do. Marcus states that if they have a problem with it, they'll make up for it by scavenging enough supplies from Garden City for everyone. With that, the six of them all agree to go into Garden City -- except for Randall, who's unable to because of previous injuries. Clyde doesn't think Claire should go either due to the head injury she got from Jon, but she says she's fine.

The group of five gather their things and get ready to leave. Clyde and Claire go walking out to the gate, undisturbed due to the fact that most of the group is out scavenging, collecting wood, or hunting. Clyde tells Claire that it's not too late for Claire to back out and stay behind, but Claire reminds him who it was that taught him how to swing a bat. Clyde says that doesn't matter, Claire's injury does. But Claire reassures him that she is perfectly fine. A moment later, Clyde sees Brenden Trevors talking with Kate. He approaches, asking if Brenden was onto them already, but Kate says that he's rather joining them on their mission into the city. Once everybody is ready, Kate leads them out of the motel, reminding everyone that what they're doing is the right thing to do.

They eventually arrive to Garden City, and Clyde tells them all that the office building they're trapped in isn't far, but they'll need to come up with a plan on how to get inside since the streets in downtown Garden City are flooded with the dead. As they begin making their way through the city, Clyde has a moment where he can't believe that he's actually doing this, and he doesn't know what came over him to decide to do this. While everyone is conversing about the dangers they're headed into, Marcus recalls when he and Randall had to kill a crazed police officer just a couple of days back, which reminds Clyde about when he played a police officer in "Taser Force". When Marcus, Kate and Dean all say that they hadn't seen that movie, Clyde is stunned. Soon, the group arrive to a street close to the office building. Clyde directs everyone down an alleyway to avoid the hordes of zombies.

After travelling through a couple of alleyways, the group arrive just outside of the office building. In order to get a better look on things, Clyde points to a ladder and says they should climb up to the roof. Clyde is the first one to get onto the roof, and when he does, he looks out onto the street, where more than a thousand zombies are seen crowded together. He gulps. At first, nobody seems to have a plan, until Claire notices something.

They make their way over to a pedestrian bridge that goes right beside the office building. Claire's plan is to somehow make it from the bridge into the office building by smashing open a window. Clyde agrees with Dean in saying that the plan seems too dangerous, but Claire only sighs and tells them to just help her smash open the window. Kate keeps the group defended from a few zombies while they pick up stones, throwing them at the window. Finally it smashes open, and Claire then says that she'll jump over and find a rope to throw over to them. However, before she can get around to doing it, Clyde tells Claire that he loves her, before he leaps off the bridge, barely managing to grab onto the ledge. He struggles to pull himself up while Claire yells at him. When he finally climbs up, he celebrates for a second, but then rushes off to find some rope after seeing zombies closing in on the rest of the group. He eventually finds some rope and comes running back over, but doesn't know what to do, making Claire angry. He attempts to throw the rope over, but it misses, and so he reels it back in, quietly encouraging himself through a character that he once played. When he throws the rope again, it successfully makes it to the bridge, and Claire grabs it. Clyde yells in excitement, before he quickly goes to tie the rope down to something sturdy. Once the rope is secure, Brenden starts climbing across slowly. When he makes it close to the building, Clyde grabs his hand and pulls him in, congratulating him. Dean makes it across next, but Marcus, Kate and Claire are then forced to all get onto the rope together because of the overwhelming amount of zombies. The rope strains, starting to stretch and rip in parts. Marcus and Kate make it across, and Clyde reaches out to grab Claire's hand just as the rope snaps in half. Clyde nearly falls out the window himself, but Marcus helps pull both of them into the building. After checking to make sure Claire is okay, Clyde takes a couple of bandages from Dean to wrap around his arm that had been sliced by some broken glass.

Clyde, Claire, Kate and Brenden head up to the top floor, where they find Aidan and his group. They're relieved to see that it's them, and not William. Wesley sees Clyde and calls him Slyde Lawlins again, to which Clyde mumbles that he is indeed Slyde Lawlins. After the two sides catch up, they start talking about how to escape. Clyde quickly points out that they won't be able to escape the same way they got in, meaning they'll need to come up with something else.

While everybody is waiting on Marcus and Dean, who are checking the situation downstairs, Clyde starts talking with Luke Butler. While talking, he learns that Luke had seen Taser Force. Clyde cheers, thanking Luke, and then gloating to Claire that someone had seen his movie. Claire tells him to quiet down, as she's still upset about him jumping over the bridge. Clyde apologizes quickly, but says that he was feeling brave and wanted to do it. He then asks her if his training had paid off, and she says that it might have. When Marcus and Dean finally arrive on the top floor, giving the bad news that it wasn't looking too good outside. With no other choice, Kate tells everyone to start heading downstairs to get ready to fight their way out. Clyde approaches Wesley, who is handicapped, and awkwardly starts carrying him down the stairs.

When they make it to the second floor, Clyde sets Wesley down onto a chair, and then gathers around to listen to Marcus. He tells everyone that the horde downstairs had broken inside, and they were going to have to stick together and fight their way through. He assigns Clyde and Claire to defend Jeanne Randolph and Dean, who'll be carrying Wesley. Marcus and Luke then head off to go check on the status of the horde.

Marcus comes bolting back upstairs a couple of minutes later, zombies trailing him. He tells everyone that Luke is dead, and they need to get into position now. Clyde takes up his position in front of Dean and Jeanne, holding his baseball bat. Within seconds, the second floor is swarmed with zombies, a lot of them going over towards Clyde, Claire, Dean and the elderly couple. Clyde does his best to protect them, smashing his bat over zombie after zombie's head. After just a few moments, all of them get split up. Clyde listens in horror as Wesley is ripped apart by the horde. He desperately shoves and beats away at the zombies around him, trying to get back to Dean, Jeanne and Claire. However, Clyde can't make it to them in time, and Jeanne is pulled down, being devoured by zombies. When Clyde makes it over, he begins smacking the bat against Jeanne's arm in order to get her to let go of Claire's hand. It takes a few swings, but it eventually works, and Claire is set free. Clyde sticks beside Claire, as they begin fighting through the horde, trying to find safety.

While battering through zombies, Clyde tries to open the elevator doors, but quickly realizes it doesn't work that way. Clyde curses to himself, smacking away another zombie and continuing to fight through the zombies. Claire, exhausted by this point, wonders if this is it for them. Panicking, Clyde breaks open a window with his bat and glances out below, only seeing more zombies. Suddenly, a door nearby swings open, and Marcus yells for them to hurry inside. Clyde bulls into a few zombies, knocking them aside. He grabs onto Claire's hand and rushes into the room with her. Marcus slams the door shut, as zombies begin beating on it from the other side. He asks Clyde and Claire if they saw what happened to anybody else, especially Kate, but all they know is that Wesley and Jeanne were killed. Frowning, Marcus points to a vent within the office, and tells the two of them to get some rest, because they'll need to climb through the vent soon before the door breaks down.

#### "**It All Comes Crashing Down**"

After crawling through the vents into a neighbouring office room, the three of them start trying to come up with an escape plan. Clyde comes up with an idea to roll a water cooler down the stairs to clear away the zombies. He says that Marcus should be the one to carry the water cooler over there because he's the strongest. However, both Claire and Marcus tell him that it's a stupid idea, and so Clyde crosses his arms and tells them to do all the planning then. And so with no other choice, Marcus says that they'll need to fight their way down the stairwell and outside, where they'll need to find a vehicle to drive out with. Clyde stands up, looking out the window to a fire department across the street, an idea forming in his head.

The three of them somehow manage to make it out of the building alive after battling through the undead, and they quickly head across the street towards the fire department.

They manage to get inside and into the garage, where there are two fire trucks parked. Clyde looks around and sees a zombified fireman stumbling over to him. He asks if one of them can take care of it since he lost his bat while fighting through the office building. Claire sighs and kills it for him.

After a while, Marcus gets one of the trucks working. Before they leave, Clyde asks what the plan is, and Marcus says that they'll sweep through the city quickly, and if they can't find anyone, they'll drive back to the motel.

With no luck in the city, they drive back to the motel, and show up just in time to save everyone at the motel from an attacking horde of zombies. Marcus flips on the lights and sirens, drawing most of the zombies away and down the street.

Once they lead the zombies far enough away, Clyde, Claire and Marcus jump out of the truck and rush off into the woods, leaving the lights and sirens on to distract the horde. While going through the woods, they run into Aldus Paxton, and together the four of them continue through the woods until they're reunited with everybody else. Quickly, Clyde notices that Dean is missing, and Kate says that they don't know what happened to him. After the brief happy reunion, Jon angrily asks all of them what they thinking when they decided to go into the city. Clyde says that Aidan and his group had useful people with them, people who could have earned their own and stayed with them. But Daniel points out that Aidan and his group could have easily killed all of them in their sleep, which Clyde thinks is hypocritical since Daniel was the one who called them all weak and worthless to begin with. After a little more arguing between the two sides, William comes stomping through the woods with Lloyd, Ed Anderson, and an unconscious Rebecca Dawson; they'd been out scavenging when the motel came under attack. William yells at them all for not listening, but Marcus and Clyde both say that they don't regret what they did, because they at least tried to save Aidan's group. Once William calms down a bit, he makes it clear to everybody that he is in charge, and nobody is to do anything without his say first.

#### "**Little Man**"

A couple of days later, whilst the group is staying at a church deep in the woods, Clyde and Claire come walking inside the building, where they see an argument heating up between Daniel and Marcus. Clyde tells them both to calm down, but nobody listens to him. Eventually, Daniel snaps and starts wailing punches at Marcus. Lolida, trying to back up his friend, goes to draw his gun, but Clyde sees him and quickly smacks the gun from his hands. The fight would finally end just a minute later when the two men are separated from each other. However, Daniel continues to mock and taunt both Marcus and especially Kate for what they did in Garden City, leading to Kate unleashing her anger and beating Daniel to the ground, all while Clyde watches, speechless.

Later that day, Clyde is outside the church, when Claire comes walking up to him, asking him what he was up to. He tells her that he's just pondering on everything that's happened, especially about Edward being gone, and how it feels different without him. To try and cheer him up, Claire admits that she was impressed with Clyde's bravery at the office building, remarking that it wasn't acting, but rather real courage. Just then, Clyde notices a man emerging from the woods. After studying him, Clyde realizes it's Dean, and he rushes over, thankful to see that he's still alive. Randall comes limping out of the church upon hearing Clyde, happy to see him. He points out a notebook that Dean has in his hands, and Dean explains to them that it was given to him by a man named Waylon, who helped saved Dean. After telling them that he hadn't checked inside it yet, Dean starts flipping through the book, and on the last page there are a list of supply caches. Clyde reckons that the caches are probably real if Waylon had helped saved Dean's life. Smiling, Clyde and the others head back inside.

#### "**Pipe Dream**"

Two days later, Clyde is among the rest of the group when two recruiters enter the church, looking to try and recruit them to their community. Clyde listens to them intently as the two women talk about their community, and Clyde thinks it sounds promising. After some more discussing, the group, without William's consent, agree to have a vote on whether or not they should go to the community. Clyde goes with the majority in saying that they should go. However, William decides to intervene, declaring that they won't be going. With some yelling, and by William pointing his gun at the two recruiters, they back out of the church, leaving.

#### "**The Fanatic and the Freak**"

Later that day, William, Aldus, Austin and Lloyd come back to the church after having been gone for a while. With them is the two recruiters who were previously sent away. In William's arms is the corpse of Brenden. Clyde looks on sadly, not knowing what to say. Once William sets Brenden's body down, he turns to the rest of the group, explaining that Brenden had saved William, but got bit by zombies in the process. He says that Brenden's last wish was to go with the recruiters to their community of Worthwood - and he's going to honour it.

Clyde, along with a few others, are sent out to look for vehicles that they can use to travel to the community. While walking along, Clyde admits that he doesn't know anything about cars, but that he did once play a mechanic in a movie. He goes on to ask Jon if he'd seen that one, but Jon says that he'd only ever seen one of Clyde's movies, only because he had to hideout somewhere after a heist gone wrong. He remarks about how he hated the movie and wanted to punch Clyde. Chuckling nervously, Clyde asks him if they're friends, to which Jon says that they are, patting him on the shoulder. As Jon walks ahead, Claire laughs at Clyde for being scared of Jon, but Clyde quickly claims that he is not.

After acquiring some cars, Clyde and the others head back, where a funeral is held for Brenden.

After a day of travelling, the group makes it to Worthwood.

### **Season 6**

#### "**All Good Things**"

During a welcoming party for him and his group, Clyde practically becomes the main star of the event, dragged into the middle of the crowd by dozens of people who are fans of his. Clyde happily answers the many questions he's asked, including how easy it's become for him to kill zombies, and how he lost his eye during a battle. Suddenly, Claire appears behind Clyde, getting his attention. When Clyde notices her, he excuses himself from the crowd to go speak with her. The two of them walk and talk, with Claire informing him that Rebecca is finally awake again. Clyde is glad to hear it, but then he starts exclaiming how exciting it is to enjoy the perks of being a movie star again. Claire is happy to hear it, but says that he won't be abandoning Claire again, as the two of them continue walking through the party.

Step up."- Clyde urging Edward to free Sarah from Badrick's grasp in 2x04

"**Clyde**: It’s a terrible shame ***(He shakes his head)***. But - coming to me? Not much I can do. I’m… Well, I’ve been locked in here for a while now. They offer to feed me but-- well, I don’t want to eat the living exotic spiders they place in here. I only just got rid of the last one. At first - he was a roommate. We both kept half of the cell. Until he - started being greedy, and began claiming more of it.**Edward**: Are you serious?**Clyde**: What if it was-- coming to get me? How can I sleep?

"**Clyde**: Like the brave soldier I was-- I took a slice to the chest. A - a wounded knight! For I was the trust steed of Benjamin’s daughter, Sarah.

But my mission… was completed."- Clyde recalling his experience rescuing Sarah in 2x08

"**Clyde**: Right you are, right you are… but - maybe it’s different now. I know that -- people are truly awful. Through all my fame and fortune, can I say I actually had any real friends? No-- I-I can’t. I didn’t. I kept up a facade, but I didn’t have any real people I could turn to in the industry. Or just - in life full stop.**Edward**: What of it? It’s a sob story.**Clyde**: Well… I’m trying to wonder if that’s your reasoning for being so closed off. You maybe just-- Maybe you’re just like me, and never had any real friends.**Edward**: No -- of course I didn’t.**Clyde**: Didn’t - yes - I didn’t either but-- I consider you a friend, Edward. The first real friend I’ve ever had. And I’d feel… truly accomplished if you considered me a friend too.**Edward**: My first ***(He nods sincerely)***. You’re the first real friend I’ve ever had."- Clyde admitting that Edward is his first real friend in 3x08

Season 4

"**Clyde**: I’m sorry - I often prove to be rather incapable when it comes to dealing with the dead. I’ve-- wanted to get better, be more brave - but we’d been on the move for so long and… Well… I lost my eye. Whatever happens now I’ll be useless no matter what. I suppose all I can truly offer is - cheery optimism."- Clyde's desire to be better, but belief that he's incapable of it in 4x01

"**Clyde**: Well… I’m not - I’m not brave enough for a battle… or a gunfight -- ah, that’s the same thing. I’m not brave enough for a war but -- we can’t let Edward die.

He’s the best friend I have… One eye or not… I’m joining him."- Clyde stepping up to join the battle against The Rastas for Edward's sake in 4x05

"**Clyde**: Edward… You wanted to take his life, you wanted to make him suffer. But when you saw how sick he was, that his sickness was stealing that opportunity away from you, it ruined it for you. But the truth is, it doesn’t matter. What matters is he died… and you still got to be there to see his final breaths… Isn’t that enough? Isn’t parading his head around for--even five minutes--enough? I miss my best friend. The one who’s hatred for Badrick - grew out of love and respect for a little girl… Out of wanting to do the right thing. That same man who--in his efforts--made me step up and become a better person. You did that, Edward. And it makes me sad having seen you consumed by vengeance for so long."- Clyde's concern for Edward's declining mental health in 4x06

"**Clyde**: When I say that… Well, I came to terms quite early on into this that, while I did love being the star, and the fortunes I was making, I wasn’t quite living the social life I’d always desired. I mean, you have friends in Hollywood, but not-- not real friends. At least I certainly didn’t have many. Taking a step back now, seeing that I’m… surrounded by people I can consider friends, it’s… It means a lot."- Clyde reflecting on his old life and the friends he has now in 4x10

"**Clyde**: Edward. I want to assure you that no matter what, past this point, nothing is going to change. Not my opinion of you, not our status… Although I cannot give you what you want… I can tell you that… I am… flattered?"- Clyde rejecting Edward's confession in 4x10

Season 5

"**Clyde**: …Are we still friends? Edward… you’re my best friend. We had a little inconvenience, but before that, we were the dream team, don’t you recall? No matter what, I will be here for you. And you are a good person at your core, you shouldn’t tell yourself otherwise. What you did for Sarah was heroic. And if you recall, it was you who helped me step up. You encouraged me to do what was right, and before I knew it, I felt like a real action star, rescuing a little girl from a-- a gang! Just because you’ve had some bad experiences with people in your life does not mean you are meant to be alone. The group next door to us right now, they are a great group of people, and the closest thing I have to family now."- Clyde showing his gratitude to Edward and the group while trying to appeal to him in 5x01

"**Clyde**: Maybe after all, it was time for Edward to spread his wings and leave the nest. I should’ve… should’ve seen it coming, I suppose. Looking back on my last conversations with him, I can tell he must’ve been thinking about it for quite a while, quite deeply… I may never see Edward again. But he was the best friend I’ve ever had. He believed in me when nobody else did, and I will forever treasure the fact that it was Edward who helped me to step up and be brave, to become a true survivor. I promise to forever remain a courageous warrior. I will never stop being the man I've grown into on behalf of Edward. He brought out a side of me that... that I never knew existed. Thank you."- Clyde's promise to uphold the values Edward brought out of him, while finally letting him go in 5x03

"**Clyde**: This group has always done the right thing against all odds… Always! The very thing that helped me step up and become a better man was saving a sickly little girl… because it was the right thing to do. I understand… we’re low on supplies… I do… But to aim a pistol in Kate’s face? Does that sound like the right thing to do? Does it?"- Clyde's disgust at his group for rejecting the pleading people at their gates in 5x05

"**Clyde**: I’d have rather we gave them a chance. We sent those people away immediately. They had a nurse, and a few capable, able-bodied men. They could’ve earned their keep, their own supplies, it’s not like we were short on space. There was no need for us to abandon them, we could’ve worked something out.**Daniel**: So they could kill us in our sleep? Are you forgetting the other risk?**Clyde**: Well, according to all of you, those people were weak and worthless… and yet now you’re worrying that they’d kill all of us. They were good people. I saw that moments before they were all devoured."- Clyde standing by his decision to attempt rescuing the group that were turned away in 5x07
