"Little girl, little girl?"

- Rick Grimes trying to get Summer's attention, assuming she is living

Summer is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead and in AMC's The Walking Dead Social Game. She is one of the first walkers to be seen and killed by Rick Grimes.

Location Unknown
Very little is known about Summer's life before or as the outbreak began, except that she had a mother, a father, and an uncle.

"The Outbreak Begins"
Summer is at the camp with her father and mother when the player arrives. She brought with her lion, but her mother forgot to pack her teddy. She greatly misses her dog, who her mother says was taken by her Uncle Jesse. It is highly likely that the dog was killed by zombies. She begins to become very compulsive, and begins talking to her stuffed animals. Her mother gives her some hope, saying they can have ice cream once they get to Atlanta. They were supposed to meet her Uncle Jesse, but he is found dead by the player. At one point, her mother goes missing and is killed. Her father searches for her, but during a search, he is also killed. After her parents die, camp members extend their condolences to her. Summer manages to outlive her mother, father, and uncle after their deaths. Summer starts becoming socially withdrawn, and then runs away. Joe vows to search for her after the player searches the highway. At the cutscene ending, Summer is seen at a gas station about to be attacked by two walkers. It is assumed that she was attacked and that this is how she was infected.

"Days Gone Bye"
Summer is seen reanimated as a walker at a gas station near Interstate 85. Summer is witnessed by Rick Grimes, who mistakes her for a living girl, as she picks up her teddy bear. She walks towards Rick when he attempts to help her. When she begins to walk faster, Rick pulls out his .357 Colt Python revolver, shooting her, causing her to fall backwards, dead.
