## Post-Apocalypse

He watches as the Grimes family reunites. He is later part of a small group of men who beat down a roamer after Jacqui rushes out of the woods and warns the group, protecting Sophia and Carl Grimes.

The next day, he is seen with with Morales and Orlando overhearing Ed Peletier screaming at Carol while the two are in a tent. He appeared visibly uncomfortable, before watching as Orlando attempted to go over and talk to him. Morales later confides in him, stating he isn't sure how much longer he can handle this.

#### Inner City Blues

Allen is seen in the background on top of the RV while Lori talks to Carl, instructing him to stay where he can be seen by Allen. Though Andrea and Amy takeover duty of watching the children, he continues to keep watch over them and the rest of the camp. As Lori, Carol, Jacqui, and his wife Donna return from the creek, he spots a Roamer behind his wife. He yells at her to warn her, before begging for her to move after she freezes. His rifle is raised as he watches Dale cut the Roamer's head off with his ax. He rushes towards her side as the camp surrounds the scene, and Donna processes the danger she was in. Allen notices the Roamer still alive, and shoots it quickly without warning, causing him to quickly apologize to the rest of the camp as they hold their ears. He then moves the roamer's body out of the camp along with the help of Morales.

He is later seen during Shane's beatdown of Ed, trying to move his sons Ben and Billy away from the scene, while he also tries to watch himself.

#### A Matter of Time

Allen greets the group as they arrive back from shooting practice, asking if they're experts yet. As Rick wonders why Allen didn't come with them, he tells him the walk and wanting to watch over the camp was the reason. Allen also informs Rick of Ed's reclusive state in his tent. Allen is later seen along with Donna in the group of survivors who watch as Shane confronts Jim, who is digging holes outside of camp.

At the campfire, Allen praises Dale for his cooking and camping supplies. While the group share their backstories with each other, he details how he was financially struggling and in debt, working as a shoe salesman, running his own store in the mall.
