Prior to the start of the outbreak, Strand worked as a fixer, which gained him enormous wealth. He enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, from having a beach-side flat to his own yacht.

"Cobalt"
Victor Strand is seen at the beginning of the episode inside a cage in the hospital, talking to Douglas Thompson and giving him confidence. Agitated, Doug wrestles with the fence, forcing the soldiers to take him out. Strand later turns to Nick and asks about who he is.

Later on, the soldiers check the temperatures of the people in the cages. Strand's temperature is at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit while Nick is at 101.6. The soldiers try to remove Nick from the cage fearing that he might be turning. While Nick struggles, Strand talks to the commanding officer and asks him about the watch he gave him, which the officer likes. Strand then offers him a diamond cufflink so that they'll leave Nick in the cage, the officer agrees but only if he gives him the second matching cufflink. It is revealed by Strand at the end of the episode that he saved Nick because he needs his skills to help him escape. He shows Nick a key that he has acquired that will help them get out.

"The Good Man"
Victor and Nick make their escape with the soldiers are distracted taking down the captive walkers that Daniel Salazar has released and led to the entrance as a diversion. Running down the hallway, they are unable to escape out of the doors, but are found by Madison Clark, Travis Manawa, Daniel and Ofelia Salazar. They are saved by Liza Ortiz, who finds them and uses her card to open the door. Successfully escaping the facility, Victor has plans to find "Abigail" and leads the group back to his ocean front home where they can tend to the injured Ofelia. Nick talks to Victor, who is packing up a briefcase and preparing the leave, saying the the group cannot stay there when he leaves.
