Lee Everett (Video Game)

"I miss Lee."

- Clementine about Lee (Determinant).

Lee Everett is the main protagonist for Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season 1. He has a mother, father, and a brother, who live in Lee's hometown of Macon, Georgia, looking after the family business.

Character
Lee's personality is entirely up to the player, more or less. He can either assume a hopeful and slightly idealistic personality, often giving people the benefit of the doubt and questioning the need to perform morally questionable actions, or be a quite pragmatic man, who displays signs of aggression or violence if needed under tensed situations.

Not much is known about Lee prior to the outbreak; what is known is that he was a professor who taught history for six years at the University of Georgia. He was also convicted for murdering a state senator who had an affair with his wife, and was about to serve a life sentence behind bars. Later on, it is learned that Lee has lost his entire family to the apocalypse, making him the only surviving Everett thus far. Based on the options given during interaction and Lee's response to certain events, it can be said that he is perhaps a nice and likable person in essence. This is reinforced by Doug/Carley's statement that "everyone looks up to him" and voices their interest in having him as the leader.

The most obvious characteristic that Lee displays throughout the entire series is the ability to be caring and loving. This is primarily portrayed in his relationship with Clementine, a girl that he encounters during the apocalypse. At first sight, it is obvious that Lee immediately takes a liking to the girl and cares about her as a parent would towards their child. This is strengthened by the fact Lee states that most of his actions are made for the sake of ensuring Clementine is protected and if possible, guaranteed a better life in the zombie apocalypse before him.

During his conversation with Carley about his past with the senator, it is implied that, the man had no intention of murdering his wife's lover, as he claimed that the entire incident was purely accidental. In fact, when questioned about his past, a tone of remorse is sensed within his words. On the other hand, if Lee chooses to be honest about his past towards Clementine, Lee will tell her that he considered his victim a "bad" man.

Unlike Lilly or Larry, Lee seems to be more merciful and is much more selfless. In fact, whenever a character is pitted in a suicide or hopeless scenario, he tries his very best to dissuade them not to commit suicide and help them out. This is primarily seen in Irene's situation, which greatly upsets him, Glenn, and Carley, when she decided to commit suicide. Another situation would be senselessly diving on to Andy St. John, in order to protect Duck.

Despite the options offered to Lee when discussing about Larry, at heart, Lee bears no ill feelings towards Larry, and even more so not on his daughter. This is demonstrated when he willingly helped Lilly to locate the keys to the pharmacy counter to search for his medications. Later on, Lee may reprimand Kenny for murdering Larry, however his feelings towards Larry are mixed. Lee mentions that he "couldn't do it" at the spur of the moment, yet felt that the man didn't deserve to die that way. Lee can side with Lilly whenever Kenny brings up the incident.

Lee is however not a pushover by any means, and if need be, he can arise and defend himself or those that need defending by whatever means necessary.

All in all, it is best said that Lee is a kind and caring man who generally avoids trouble and tries to remain neutral whenever possible. He takes good care of Clementine and treats her as if she were his own. Lee is an excellent shot with most firearms, and a very skilled street fighter, as evidenced by his fights with Andrew St. John, Kenny, Molly, the Stranger, and numerous walkers.

Macon, Georgia
Lee comes from Macon, Georgia. He had a mother, father and a brother who worked at the family's pharmacy in Macon. Lee had been a history professor at the University of Georgia for six years, he had a pet fish on his desk there. His wife had a traveling job and she was never home, which Lee disliked. One day, he came home sick from work at the university and discovered her sleeping with a state senator. Angered, Lee killed him, causing Lee to be convicted of murder. Lee claimed the two got into a fight and he killed him by accident. Regardless, he was convicted, and at the very start of the apocalypse, when it hit Georgia, Lee was being transported by a police officer to the West Central Prison in Georgia when the police car suddenly crashes into a walker rendering him injured and unconscious for a few hours.

"Episode 1: A New Day"
The episode begins with Lee Everett, handcuffed, sitting in the back of a police car. A police officer is driving him to prison. After a while the officer begins chatting with Lee about whether or not he is innocent because, as the officer remarks, Lee hasn't given him the "I didn't do it" speech. Before long, the car crashes into a walker and runs off the road into a ditch, knocking Lee unconscious. Lee awakens later and discovers that his leg is wounded. He breaks out of the wrecked cruiser and walks towards the apparently dead police officer. After Lee unlocks his cuffs with the keys he found on the dead policeman, the officer reanimates and attacks him, and Lee is forced to kill it with the shotgun that fell from the cruiser during the crash. The gunshot attracts several walkers to the site and Lee barely escapes them, managing to quickly limp up a hill and pull himself over the fence of a nearby house's yard. He decides to look for help inside, finding a pool of blood in the kitchen and an answering machine containing messages that recount of the quickly worsening situation for the couple that lives in the house. He discovers a hand-held two-way radio in a kitchen drawer and is contacted by Clementine, the young girl who lives in the house. She has been hiding in her tree house while her parents are away in Savannah. Clementine suddenly screams and Lee is attacked by the zombie of Sandra, Clementine's babysitter. Lee is nearly bitten several times but eventually kills the walker with a hammer Clementine gives him. Lee promises Clementine that he'll look after her for awhile.

Depending on what Lee choses, Lee and Clementine either leave the house immediately or waited until dark in her tree house. If they leave during the day, they head outside and meet Shawn Greene and his friend Chet. The two friends are trying to get to Shawn's dad's farm, but the road is blocked by cars, so Shawn offers to take Lee and Clementine with him if Lee helps them clear the road. After clearing the road, they escape walkers and drive to the Greene's farm.

If Lee choses to wait until night, after dark they walk into the street where they meet Shawn Greene and a police officer named Andre Mitchell. Shawn states that his friend Chet was killed earlier, and offers them a ride to his dad's farm so Lee's leg can be tended to. An undead Chet starts to come towards them, so they get into the police car and drive to the farm.

Chet/Andre leaves, and Shawn introduces Lee and Clementine to his father, Hershel Greene. Hershel asks Clementine if she knows Lee. She says yes and Hershel takes care of Lee's leg. Hershel questions Lee about his whereabouts and doings before the apocalypse. It is Lee's choice to either lie to Hershel or be honest with him (slightly edited version of the truth, leaving out only the most troublesome details). The next day, Lee is introduced to Kenny Jr., aka Duck, Kenny, and Katjaa, and helps around the farm. If Lee lied to Hershel, he confronts him about his dishonesty in the barn. Regardless of Lee's previous answers, Hershel also tells him that trust and honesty are important when dealing with other people, especially with the trying times ahead.

As they talk, someone screams and they leave the barn to investigate. Hershel gets his gun while Lee runs to see what's going on. When Lee gets to the source of the noise, he sees Shawn pinned under a tractor tire. It appears Duck, sitting on the tractor, inadvertently trapped Shawn. There are three walkers near the tractor, two try to get to Shawn and one tries to get Duck.

Lee can choose to save Duck or Shawn but, regardless of his choice, Shawn dies. The only thing the choice affects is how Hershel acts towards Lee (if Lee saves Shawn, he thanks Lee but blames Kenny; if Lee saves Duck, he is angry with both of them). Either way an angry Hershel tells Kenny and Lee to leave his farm and never come back. As Kenny and his family prepare to leave, he encourages Lee and Clementine to come with them.

When they arrive in Macon, they run out of gas and stumble upon a group of walkers. They are saved by a group holed up in a pharmacy. A woman named Carley saves Duck from a walker and they run inside. There is an argument over how risky it was to save them and what to do with Duck, as Larry, a member of the group in the pharmacy, suspects he was bitten. Lee can side with Larry or Kenny. After choosing, Clementine is attacked by a walker who was locked in the bathroom and Lee saves her with help from Carley. Glenn then leaves on a supply run at a nearby motel to get food and gas.

Larry, Lilly's father, starts to have a heart attack and she says explains they have run out of pills. Lee goes looking for the keys to the Pharmacy and we learn the group is in Lee's family pharmacy and that his family is dead. Lee helps out around the store and Carley reveals she is a reporter and knows who he is and what he did. Lee can decide whether or not to trust her, and whether to tell Clementine what he did.

Afterwards, Glenn calls on the walkie-talkie and says he is trapped at the Travelier Motel. Carley and Lee go out to get Glenn and learn that there is a woman trapped in a nearby room, and decide to save her by taking out a group of walkers one by one. After saving her, they discover she was bitten and Lee must choose to give her the gun or not so she can commit suicide. Regardless of his decision, she will get the gun and kill herself.

After the motel incident they return to the Pharmacy with the gas and Lee and Doug go out to the gate to look around. They find Lee's brother, now a walker, trapped under a pole. Lee says he might have the keys and shows Doug a picture of him and Lee's parents that was recovered from the office. Lee uses a remote control that he found in the pharmacy office on the TV's in the store across the street, breaks the lock on the gates with the axe he found at the motel (because no one knows the combination), and hurls a brick at the storefront to shatter the window and allow the TV noise to attract the walkers away from Lee's brother's corpse. Lee puts down his undead brother, grabs the keys, and runs back in to the pharmacy.

With keys in hand, Lee and Lilly enter the medical section of the store but trip an alarm, attracting the attention of all the walkers in the area. Now they must hold out until Kenny can fill his truck with the gas Glen retrieved from the motel and bring it around to rescue them. After locking the entrance doors, Lee must chose to save Carley or Doug. After the other dies, Lee saves Clementine from a walker. On their way out, Lee is blocked by Larry, who assaults Lee by knocking him to the floor just as a horde of zombies closes in on him. Just before Lee is attacked by a zombie, Kenny comes to his rescue.

The survivors relocate to the motel where they intend to set up a base. Glenn tells Lee that he has to leave to find his friends in Atlanta with or without his and the group's blessing. Larry reveals that he also knows about Lee's past, and will not hesitate to use it against him if ever steps out of line. Just when things seem calm and for the most part peaceful, the street lights begin shutting off one by one until all the power goes out.

"Episode 2: Starved For Help"
After three months since the apocalypse began, Lee is seen hunting in the forest with Mark, a new member of the group. They talk about Kenny and Lilly and the arguments they have as Lilly is rationing food and Kenny is trying to feed his family. They are then interrupted when they hear screaming and find three survivors: Ben Paul, his friend Travis, and their teacher, David Parker. David's leg is caught in a bear trap and Lee must choose whether to leave David behind or save him. Regardless either David or Travis will die. If David is left to die Travis is accidentally shot trying to go for one of the rifles, but if David is freed (by cutting off his leg) Travis is distracted before the walkers attack him and they eat him alive.

After taking Travis/David back to the motor inn with Kenny and Mark, Lilly will yell at them for bringing back more mouths to feed. She decides that Lee should take charge by giving him the group's rations. Depending on who is handed food, Lee can either improve or mend his relations with other members of the group. After dividing the third ration he has to decide if he will eat or if he will give someone else the last ration. Afterwards, Lee is informed by Katjaa that the wounded (David or Travis) has died. Only to find that they have now reanimated as a zombie and try to attack Katjaa. Either Carley, Larry or Mark will save Lee after he saves Katjaa from the zombie.

They confront Ben (now the only surviving member of his group) and ask him why they didn't tell them his friend was bitten. Ben swears that the recently deceased was not bitten, and he explains to them that everyone is infected anyhow and when they die they will come back unless the brain is destroyed. Carley or Doug (depending on who Lee saved in the last episode) can be heard shouting at some survivors outside the Motel. They introduce themselves as Andrew and Danny St. John. They offer a deal; they need gas for their generator and Lee's group needs food. Lee, Carley or Doug, Mark and Ben go with them. During this time they witness two bandits arguing in the woods. The heated argument ends when one shoots the other in the head repeatedly killing him instantly.

After moving on they arrive at the St. John Family Dairy that Mark instantly takes liking to. Lee is slightly suspicious and tells Mark to keep an eye open. After being introduced to Brenda St. John they offer to help clear up the electric fence of 'fried' walkers. Andy St. John has turned off the electrical fence at this time Mark and Lee are removing the walkers who have "fried". After fixing one of the posts, the electricity comes back on, and Lee is enraged by Andrew's carelessness; but they are suddenly attacked by bandits. Mark is shot in the shoulder with an arrow and they both make their way back to the gate via hiding behind a tractor. The bandits withdraw after they reach the gate. At this point Carley/Doug have informed the others, about the barn and have now arrived at the farm. They are shocked to see Mark has been shot and is immediately taken in by Brenda and Katjaa. Lee learns that Ben and Carley/Doug have chosen to stay at the Motor Inn until they come back.

At this time Danny St. John asks Lee if he would like to go to the bandits' camp to get some payback. Lee can decide to go after checking up on everyone. When he arrives at the bandit camp he discovers a camcorder and then Clementine's hat which she had recently lost. Jolene, a lone crazy woman, shows up threatening them with a crossbow, Lee can choose to kill her immediately, or try to reason with her. If he chooses not to kill her she will tell him that she had a little girl whom the bandits abused (probably raped) and perhaps killed. She begins to tell Danny she knows what he is and knows what he does to those "people". Danny quickly shoots her in the forehead, instantly killing her. Regardless of Lee's actions, she will die no matter what.

After returning, Kenny seems somewhat suspicious about the Dairy. Lilly is still angry about the idea of leaving the Motor Inn and wants to go back but Larry advises her not to, saying that they should stay for dinner at least. Lee goes into the barn where he finds Duck and Clem. Kenny is there with Katjaa and Andy. They find a locked door and Kenny begins to get increasingly suspicious. As a method to distract Andy to peek inside Lee tampers with one of the generators, thus luring Andy away. After removing the lock on the barn door Lee is told that dinner is ready. Kenny and Clem leave with Duck and Katjaa but Lee stays behind and continues to investigate. Upon opening the door he discovers what a slaughter room with bloodstains. Andy appears suddenly and explains that they still hunt for animals to keep themselves fed but Mama (Brenda) hates a mess so they do it in the barn. Lee is disturbed but goes along with his story.

Lee later joins them at dinner. He requests to go to the bathroom to investigate, still suspicious. Upon discovering a hidden room, he finds a legless Mark. Mark is barely conscious and warns him about the brothers, telling him not to eat dinner revealing that they are cannibals. Lee then has to rush downstairs and warn Clementine not to eat the dinner- however Lee has to get him there and shout on time. Lee tells everyone about the food, and the St. John brothers retaliate threatening them at gunpoint. Brenda reveals that they were taught never to waste food, as their reasoning for eating humans, and said that Mark was going to die anyway. Mark is heard falling down the stairs where he is seen crawling around calling for help. Filling the group with horror, Danny uses the distraction and knocks Lee unconscious.

He next wakes up in a meat locker with Larry, Clementine, Kenny, and Lilly. Kenny reveals that they have Katjaa and Duck, and then Larry unexpectedly has a heart attack (due to his medical condition). He stops breathing and Kenny assumes that he is dead and wants to destroy his brain, but Lilly insists that he isn't and they need to resuscitate him. Lee must choose to side with Kenny or Lilly. Regardless who he chooses Larry dies. Larry is either killed by Lee and Kenny, or just Kenny who crushes his head with a salt block (or lick, as said in the game). Regarding on Lee's choice either Kenny, Lilly or both will be extremely upset with Lee. Clem is able to crawl out of the meat locker via air vents and unlocks the door, and Kenny goes to find his family while Lilly is mourning Larry. Lee tells Clem to watch over Lilly and leaves to find Kenny.

Both are then confronted by Danny St. John who is unexpectedly taken out by Lilly or Kenny. Lee may then kill or spare Danny's life, and this decision is noted by Clementine. After Lee goes to find Kenny and the others, he meets Carley/Doug with Ben. Lee explains the situation and tells them to go round the back, as using the gate would be too dangerous. Lee returns to the St. John's house where he finds Brenda holding Katjaa hostage, and carefully walks forward, trying to negotiate while driving her towards an undead Mark at the top of the stairs.

While outside Kenny is confronting Andy who is holding Duck hostage. Kenny is shot and Lee attacks and fights Andy, and he eventually gets the upper hand, and Lee can either choose to savagely kill Andy or leave him for the walkers who are now overtaking the dairy.

After, Lee discovers a car which is seemingly abandoned. The group consider emptying it, but Clementine objects. Lee can either choose to take Clementine's side, in which case Kenny and Katjaa loot the car, or he can loot the car himself, and hand out the food items to the others. If the latter is chosen then he finds a hoodie which he gives to Clementine, and he can persuade her taking the stuff is okay or not. No matter what, Carley/Doug comes to him and explain that they found batteries for the camcorder he found earlier at the bandit camp. They turn it on and discover Jolene watching them at the motor inn. It is revealed that she knew the several of the bandits by name, calling them "rapists monsters", and that she took a liking to Clementine, seeing her as a replacement for her daughter.

"Episode 3: Long Road Ahead"
Some time after the last episode Lee and Kenny go back to the pharmacy to find more medicine. They see an unknown girl running out from one of the buildings. She is quickly surrounded by walkers and bitten. Kenny suggests that the girl should be left to walkers so they can go to pharmacy unnoticed. Lee either shoots the girl with his rifle attracting the walkers with the shot or leaves the girl to be able to slip unnoticed in the store with Kenny. Inside the store Lee picked up as many supplies he could before the walkers stormed in. Then he runs for another exit only to be attacked by a walker who broke the door. If his relationship with Kenny is good Lee will get help from him. If not he will have to fight with the walker on his own. After a narrow escape they return to the motor lodge where Lee learns that bandits have been trying to attack the lodge. Ben is on watch duty, Lilly is still upset about her dad, Kenny and his family are hanging in, Carley/Doug is hanging around, at some point Carley reveals that she has had some "thoughts" about Lee, if Lee answers back she gives him a kiss on the cheek, while Clementine is keeping herself busy. An argument soon breaks out and Lilly reveals to Lee that some one in the group is stealing medicine from their supplies. Lee investigates and finds a bag of medicine outside the protective walls hidden in a grate.

The bandits soon attack and it is revealed that someone has been trading medicine for protection. Lee helps fight off the bandits and helps everyone to escape in the RV, but not before Duck and Katjaa are attacked by walkers that appear.

While escaping in the RV Lilly starts to believe that Ben (and Carley if she is alive) stole the medicine. The RV is forced to pull over when a walker gets stuck under it. While on the side of the road, Kenny tries to get the walker loose. The group then begin arguing about who did it. Doug attempts to calm Lilly down while Carley screams at her. When Kenny kills the walker Lilly pulls out her gun and shoots Carley, or attempts to shoot Ben. If Lee saved Doug he will grab Ben and end up being shot in the head saving Ben. Lee subdues Lilly and takes her gun. Lee then chooses whether to leave Lilly on the road or bring her with them, keeping her arms tied.

While traveling down the road Katjaa reveals that the walker that attacked her and managed to bite Duck. They agree to keep going in the hopes that they can find a cure. The group soon has to stop the RV again, but this time due to a partially wrecked train blocking the road.

Kenny asks everyone to get out of the RV (except Lilly, if Lee brought her with them). Lee goes into the RV and finds a pencil, whereupon Lilly comes up and says she is taking the RV, and asks Lee if he wants to come with her. If Lee tries to stop her she throws Lee out of the RV and takes off. However if Lee agrees to come with her Lilly will say that he should go get Clementine. When Lee steps out of the RV she will drive off. Kenny later reveals that the radiator is broken and Lilly will only manage to do about 30 miles in the RV.

While searching in one of the train's freight containers Lee meets Charles (Chuck), a homeless man living in the train's box car who startles Lee with his sudden appearance. He asks Lee if he has taken any of his belongings, nevertheless, whether Lee decides to be truthful to him or dishonest, Chuck joins the group.

Once the train gets moving it is apparent that Duck will not last the journey. After Lee helps Katjaa take care of him he will either talk with or fight Kenny to stop the train. Both Katjaa and Kenny want to be ones to relieve Duck of his pain. No matter what decision Lee makes in the matter, Katjaa will be the one to take Duck in the woods. After a shot is heard Kenny and Lee travel into the woods to discover that Katjaa has committed suicide, unable to shoot her son. Lee or Kenny is forced to finish the job before Duck turns.

They continue on the track. After a while they stop because there is a truck hanging off the edge of a bridge and blocking the path. During an argument between Kenny and Chuck, two more survivors appear on the bridge, Christa and Omid. They turn out to be helpful and decide to assist them in removing the truck from their path. Clementine and Lee decide to check a warehouse beside the road where they find a blowtorch, however while Lee and Omid were busy cutting the tanker free Ben spots what appears to be thousands of walkers attracted by the noise the train had made traveling up to that point and had now caught up with them. While Lee and Omid successfully managed to cut the tanker free before the walkers got too close, however when they tried to make a quick escape from the bridge Omid hurts his leg (Regardless if Lee pushes him off or not.) and Lee chooses to help either Christa or Omid onto the train but either way both survive.

Shortly before their arrival in Savannah, Clemintine's walkie-talkie comes to life with a stranger talking on the other end who seems to know Clementine and had conversations with her before. Lee and Kenny are surprised by this as they thought it was broken, leaving them to wonder who this stranger is and what they want with Clementine.

"Episode 4: Around Every Corner"
Lee and the group are walking down the streets of Savannah, Georgia. Suddenly a bell of a nearby bell tower starts ringing. The noise attracts walkers towards the group. In the midst of chaos, Lee spots Clementine and Ben pinned up against a wall. Lee tells Ben to help Clementine, but he runs away in panic. Despite his efforts, Lee is unable to help Clementine with his gun but fortunately, Chuck comes to Clementine's rescue and attracts the walkers around her to chase him instead. Chuck then tells the rest of the group to run as he draws the walkers to aside. This is also the last time he is seen alive.

The survivors arrive at an abandoned house. After scavenging for supplies, Lee finds Kenny in the attic, staring at a reanimated child. Apparently the boy had starved in his hiding and Kenny marks the walker's strong resemblance to Duck. Lee can either kill the boy himself, or state it would be for the best if Kenny did it. If neither of the men do the deed, Christa will eventually kill the boy. Regardless, Lee ends up burying the child's body and sees the Stranger, who has been observing him, for the first time.

Later Kenny leaves with Lee to find a boat. This is when Lee encounters Molly. The two fight for a short moment, the fight ending in either Molly about to kill Lee, or Lee about to shoot Molly. Suddenly Clementine appears, having followed Lee, and tells the two to stop fighting. Molly realizes Lee isn't a threat but Kenny, unaware of this, appears with his weapon drawn from ambush. Molly tackles him and Kenny accidentally pulls the trigger. She then explains Kenny and Lee everything about Crawford, the survivalist community of Savannah, and reveals herself to be the one ringing church bells around the city.

Kenny's gunshot was heard by the nearby walkers and they corner the group. While Molly, Kenny and Clementine manage to escape, Lee is separated of them and flees into the sewers, where he finds Chuck's corpse. He then stumbles on the hideout of Brie, Vernon, Clive, Boyd and Joyce. Vernon points his gun at him as he enters but Lee is able to talk him out of shooting him, much to the dismay of Brie who thinks Lee is from Crawford and that they will be attacked by his group when they find out their location. Vernon guides Lee back to the house where he reunites with his group and Molly, and Vernon, being a doctor, was able to check Omid's injury. It turns out there was a boat in the shed of the house all the time but it lacks a battery. The group decides to sneak into Crawford to find the missing battery, gas and medical supplies for Omid's infected leg. Vernon joins the group with Brie.

Lee can leave Clementine at the house with or without a gun to take care of Omid; however, she insists to be taken with the group in which Lee can also agree on. Lee and others arrive at the school building in the center of Crawford. Apparently it has been used as the main storeroom for all their supplies. It is soon revealed that Crawford had fallen in front of the walkers. While the group separates to find supplies, Lee goes looking for the battery for the boat with Molly. With she nowhere to be seen, Lee heads for the next door garage. Then, suddenly, a walker wearing a doctor's robe, falls from a roof of a building. Molly reappears and begins to impale the walker out of pure anger.

The two eventually find the battery and Molly takes it. She takes off to her own business, leaving Lee back at the school building. Lee finds Christa and Vernon in the clinic, trying to bust open a locked cabinet of medical supplies. After finding several tapes, the code for the lock of the cabinet is seen on these. The tapes also explain the reasons behind fall of Crawford as also Molly's history with the community.

A horde of walkers attack the school, forcing everyone to retreat back into a classroom leading to Crawford's armory. On the way to the classroom, Molly is attacked by a walker. If Lee misses a shot at the zombie, he is forced to leave Molly behind; however, if Clementine was brought along she will shoot the walker and thus saves Molly. At the classroom Ben realizes he accidentally let the walkers into the school and has a break down. He decides he has to tell Kenny that he is responsible for Katjaa and Duck's deaths. Vernon and Lee restrain Kenny from attacking the boy. A quick voting takes place on whether the group should or should not leave Ben behind. Lee can choose his opinion. If Clementine is tagged along, Lee can change his opinion on the second time around. The walkers push in the classroom and devour Brie.

Lee and the group bust open the armory door leading to a bell tower. Lee is then seen running up the bell tower, fighting off several walkers, throwing some off the stairs and shooting others. At the top, Ben is then attacked by a walker, which Lee can or cannot shoot. Regardless Ben is pulled over the ledge and Lee grabs him if the walker was shot. He now has the choice to let him fall to his death or pull him up. Clementine will be very upset with the decision if he chooses to let him die, having lost a friend. The group escapes from the tower on the roof of the building.

Lee and the group arrive back at the house, to find Omid alive and Vernon treats him with the antibiotics. If Clementine was left at the house, she has also managed to trap or kill a walker, depending on whether Lee left a gun with her. Later Vernon suggests Lee to leave Clementine with his group. Lee can agree or loudly disagree on this.

Clementine will ask Lee if they will look for her parents before they depart with the boat. Lee can lie to her and say that they will, or be honest and say that it will likely not happen.

Lee wakes up the next day to discover that Clementine is no longer in the house. He walks outside when he finds Clem's discarded hat. Lee climbs over the fence and finds Clementine's walkie-talkie and picks it up but is attacked by walker. Lee realizes the walker managed to bite him. Omid, Christa, Kenny and Ben (Determinant) come looking for Lee, telling him that Clementine is nowhere to be found. Lee can then reveal that he was bitten or he can keep it a secret. Lee states Vernon has kidnapped her and insists on going after them. Afterwards he either asks his companions for help finding Clementine or tells them to wait at the boat while he looks for her. Depending on Lee's choices some of the group members can refuse his offer.

After making it back to their hideout it is revealed that Vernon and the rest of his group had left, leaving the place abandoned. Lee then looks up outside the window to see a large herd of walkers passing by. Coming to realize that the large number of walkers attracted by the noise the train made traveling there had caught up with them once again leading them to wander into and infest all of Savannah.

Lee then gets a mysterious transmission from a man over the walkie-talkie, who reveals that he isn't Vernon. The man also informs Lee he has Clementine and tells Lee to choose his next words more carefully, to which Lee starts to respond, but is at a loss for words in shock.

"Episode 5: No Time Left"
Episode 5 links up to the same point where Episode 4 left off, with Lee's words to Stranger the same as chosen in the former episode. Realizing Clementine is elsewhere in the city and not in the hospital morgue, he and the group that came with him look for a way out, as the herd of walkers seen in episode 3 arrives in Savannah. Lee manages to open a nearby elevator door, but passes out after opening it from exertion and his bite. Depending on who was brought with him, he can wake up among them or on his own, and ends up choosing whether to saw his arm off with a bonesaw in order to potentially save himself from the bite's infection or to at least buy him some time.

Regardless, Lee and any others begin climbing the elevator shaft of the hospital, which is seen to be overrun by hordes of walkers on the inside and out. The group, or Lee, arrives on the roof and sees the streets crowded with thousands of walkers. However, using Molly's strategy from Episode 4, Lee manages to reach a bell tower next to the roof. Ringing it, he draws the hordes to the tower, thinning the streets and allowing the group to push on back to the manor.

Depending on who came with Lee in Episode 4 and/or was left behind with the boat, the result on arrival can differ. If anyone stayed, it is shown that they were ambushed by Vernon's group, which horribly beat them then stole the group's boat. If everyone accompanied Lee, the boat is seen missing and a note left by Vernon is found explaining that it was he and his group who taken the boat and apologize to Lee and the group for stealing it. Lee, however, still focuses on finding Clementine, and insists on going to The Marsh House. However, the herd catches up with them and invades the manor. The group puts up a vicious stand but is forced into the attic where they are trapped. A squabble between Kenny, who is paranoid of Lee's bite and him turning, even if his arm was removed, and Lee began, culminating in Lee throwing a stone bust head at Kenny, however if Lee didn't throw the bust in time, Kenny will instead. Regardless, the bust will be thrown at the wall. The wall is shown to be weak and decaying, and leading to the house next to it. The group breaks through it and ends up in a sealed room where a couple committed a double-suicide, locking their room off from the walkers infesting the house.

Lee finds a balcony where it is possible to cross to the next roof, and the group follows. If Ben is still alive, the balcony will collapse and fall as he begins to jump. If Ben is not alive, Kenny will not fall in the jump but will perish in a later event. Regardless, Lee will run down in an attempt to save the both of them. If Ben fell, however, it is shown that a balcony railing stabbed him in the stomach. His yells of pain attracts walkers, and Kenny forces Lee to leave, telling him to go on and find Clementine. Kenny uses the last bullet in his pistol to mercy kill Ben, and is overtaken by the horde that enters the alleyway where they are.

As Lee, Christa, and Omid finally reach the waterfront just across from the Marsh House, they are forced to climb over a large Maccabe Imports sign to get to the next rooftop, as walkers crowd the street below. As either Lee or Omid and Christa climb over, the sign collapses. Armed with a cleaver he found earlier, and a shard of glass if his arm was not amputated, he orders Christa and Omid to go on and meet him later, and to take care of Clementine when he is "gone". Lee descends into the streets and fights his way through the massive horde of walkers.

He arrives at the Marsh House and searches several rooms until he finds one with a bedroom and closet door roped together. He walks in curiously, only to have Stranger appear behind him with a pistol drawn. Though Clementine calls out, thinking she hears Lee, Stranger puts the gun to Lee, forcing him to be quiet and abandon his possessions. Stranger, in a psychotic but calm state, sits down with Lee and has a discussion with him, asking him if he has ever "hurt anyone". After Lee's response and a short talk, Stranger reveals the station wagon from Episode 2 belonged to him and his family. Whether or not Lee and Clementine looted it, his reaction is the same. It is revealed his son went missing on a hunting trip. When he returned to the station wagon where his family stated, he and his wife went back out but failed to find his son still. They returned, and Lee's group had stolen his supplies, effectively ruining his life as some of Lee's group had stated. His wife took their daughter and left, though the presence of her severed, reanimated head in Stranger's bag, as well as the fact that he continually repeats he "hurt her", indicates he may have killed her, or may have found her later after she had reanimated.

At some point Stranger has found Clementine with a walkie-talkie of his own. He reveals to have been monitoring Lee and his group, through Clementine, since Episode 1's events, and depending on the decisions Lee made throughout Season 1, he confronts Lee about his many difficult choices, from saving Carley or Doug, to going to the St. John's Dairy with Clementine. In the end, Stranger tells Lee that he will take Clementine and "hurt [Lee], so bad." While he begins talking to his wife's severed head he keeps in a bowling bag, which is shown to be reanimated, Clementine escapes from the room and, using one of several objects Lee laid on a table at Stranger's order, sneaks up and attacks him just as he says, "she [Clementine] wouldn't hurt a fly."

Lee and Stranger begin a fierce brawl, each trying to get Stranger's gun which is knocked around the room. In the ensuing fight, Lee can either kill or incapacitate Stranger, and if he kills him, has a choice of shooting him to prevent reanimation or not. If he spares him, he attacks Lee again only to be shot by Clementine. Lee and Clementine reunite, and just as they leave, a walker appears at the door. However, as it sniffs Lee, it ignores him, going for Clementine, though Lee stops it. Realizing from a comment by Clementine about the "muck", spilled on him as he fought the herd, Lee understands that the walker was confused by his scent, he takes an organ from the walker and rubs it on Clementine in order to mask her scent as well.

The two initially manage to wade through the walkers outside on the street well, until Clementine sees her parents, Ed and Diana, who are now walkers, walking the streets. Saddened and terrified, Lee tries to calm her, but passes out once more. Waking up in what appears to be a store of some kind, Clementine had taken Lee there for safety. Lee then shows Clementine that he was bitten, or tells her why he amputated his arm. He begins to limp over to where the exit is, but slumps to the ground and cannot move. Clementine begs him to get up. He tries twice, but fails both times. His voice begins to grow very hoarse and he starts becoming extremely tired. Depending on the next few actions, Lee, on the brink of death now from the bite, whether he amputated his arm or not, can choose to tell her to restrain him to a nearby radiator in order to keep him from attacking her. They find a zombified security guard trapped in an office where an emergency exit lays, Clementine can pick up handcuffs on the ground to attach the walker's left hand (on Clementine's side) to a bar to the walker's right.When Clementine attempts to take either his gun or keys based on Lee's decision, the walker attacks her, if the walker was handcuffed, his cuffed arm will snap in two and the walker will proceed to attack. She ends up killing it with Lee's help, and with the gun and in tears, she begs Lee not to become one of them, though she states she does not think she can bring herself to kill him. Lee can give some advice and it is said Clementine will remember it (this being a likely hint to a future installment).

In-Game Decision
After telling her he will miss her or that she should remain strong, or saying nothing, they give their final goodbyes.

Have Clementine shoot Lee (Dead)
Lee closes his eyes, and Clementine, in a nearly- if not already- broken-down state, will shoot him with the gun she obtained from the zombified security guard and leave to go out on her own, with a goal given by Lee's advice.

Have Clementine leave Lee to turn (Undead)
Clementine will leave him handcuffed/laying next to the radiator, seconds later, his lifeless body slumps to the floor. She tearfully goes off into the fields of what can be assumed to be the outskirts of Savannah.

"400 Days"
If Lee threatened Vernon when they first met and went with all his group (including Kenny, Christa, Omid, and possibly Ben if he survived) to the morgue in his search for Clementine, the choice is determinant in unlocking a dialogue in Shel's story. One of the survivors of the cancer group, Clive, will remark of Vernon's unwillingness to shoot Lee after being verbally intimidated by him. However, Clive states had it been himself Lee spoke to in the same fashion, he would've not hesitated to shoot the man.

"Episode 6: All That Remains"
Clementine is seen looking at the photo of Lee that was torn by him at the drugstore when he found the picture of his family in "A New Day". She can say that she misses him to Christa at the start of the game and she also mentions him if she confides in Luke later on, remarking that he taught her how to survive. When Pete asks her if she can use a gun, she tells him that she can and has the option of confiding that it was Lee who taught her.

Killed By

 * Zombies (Caused)
 * Stranger (Caused)
 * Clementine (Indirectly Caused) (Out of Mercy, Determinant).

Because of the Stranger kidnapping Clementine, and dropping Clementine's radio outside the house, he caused Lee to bend down to pick it up, and get bit on the arm from the walker in the trash.

As the two initially manage to wade through the walkers outside on the street well, Clementine sees a zombified Ed and a zombified Diana walking the streets. Lee tries to calm a saddened and terrified Clementine, but passes out once more. Waking up in what appears to be a jewelry store, Clementine had taken Lee there for safety. Depending on the next few actions, Lee, on the brink of death now from the bite, whether he amputated his arm or not, can tell Clementine to restrain him to a nearby radiator in order to keep him from attacking her. They find a zombified security guard trapped in an office where an emergency exit lays. If Lee does not tell Clementine to restrain him, he can instruct her to restrain the security guard before she attempts to take either his gun, keys, or both, based on Lee's decision. Despite being restrained or not, the walker attacks her. She ends up killing it with Lee's help, and with the gun and in tears, she begs Lee not to become one of them, though she states she does not think she can bring herself to kill him. Lee gives her helpful advice and after telling her he will miss her or that she should remain strong, or saying nothing, they give their final goodbyes, and Lee, with a great amount of sadness, can either have a breaking-down Clementine shoot him or leave him to reanimate. Either way, he closes his eyes, and dies painlessly and quickly.

Non-Canon Deaths
If Lee fails to complete a certain objective, it is possible for Lee to be killed. These deaths are non-canon and will result in a game over. Lee will then re-spawn and be allowed to try again. The following is a list of times Lee can die.

Relationships
{{Scroll-1|

Clementine
"That little girl's in my care. We've been through more together than you could imagine. Anyone who tries to get between me and her - anyone! - is gonna wind up dead!"

- Lee telling off Vernon.

Lee's affection towards Clementine was readily obvious the moment he met her. While their relationship starts off as nothing more but a helpful stranger and a little girl, the bond strengthens over the course of the episodes. As Clementine is the closest person to Lee in the apocalypse, both of them came to form a symbiotic relationship, Lee seeing Clementine as a daughter of his own while Clementine considering Lee as her guardian, and later on as a father. However, the relationship eventually takes a toll for the worse when it was revealed that Clementine had been secretly communicating with the stranger on her walkie-talkie. The act of hers had greatly strained the relationship between the two. Although Lee still cares about her, Clementine starts to show slight distrust towards him, sometimes by taking matters in to her own hands. Their relationship is improved however when the two reunite at The Marsh House after Lee saves her from The Stranger. The two end on a warm but emotional note, as Clementine, in tears, is forced to either leave Lee to reanimate or shoot him. Lee is without a doubt Clementine's greatest influence throughout the series, and his legacy and advice along with his decisions will go on with her. How this affects her in Season 2, is yet to be seen. It is shown in All That Remains that Clementine is still affected by Lee's death after many months as she is shown looking at the picture of him that he tore out in A New Day.

Kenny
"You've always been there for me Lee, always had my back when it mattered. What kind of friend would I be if I wasn't there for you now? Bitten or not, I'm with you to the end. You can count on me."

- Kenny offering to go with Lee to find Clementine. (Determinant)

Lee and Kenny became companions after enduring the walker attack on Hershel's farm, in which Lee can choose to assist in saving Duck, or attempt to save Shawn. When they were kicked off the Greene Family Farm, they started traveling together. Lee can either become Kenny's closest friend or they can be at odds with each other. Lee and Kenny went through some dramatic events and were almost always helping each other. After the St. John's Dairy Farm incident in the meat locker, they would either have a stronger relationship if Lee decided to help Kenny kill Larry, or Kenny would despise Lee for trying to revive Larry since Lee didn't back him up on a morally questionable action. After Duck was bitten, Lee can argue with Kenny about putting his son out of his misery, and eventually fight physically about it, or Lee can be caring towards Kenny and talk him out of his denial towards his son's hopeless situation.

Lee's relationship with Kenny is put to the test in "Around Every Corner", as Kenny is still struggling with the loss of Duck and Katjaa. Lee may choose or choose not to help Kenny through these trying times. When Clementine is taken by the stranger, Kenny will either jump at the opportunity to help his friend Lee (If Lee had always agreed with him on everything), Ask Lee that if he himself was asking Lee for help, would he be there for him (If Lee agreed sometimes with Kenny, and other times didn't) In which case Lee would have to say "Clementine is my family" in order to get him to come with. Or just not volunteer to help Lee at all saying that Lee never helped him with anything. (If Lee never sided with him once)

During "No Time Left", Kenny will show concern over Lee's bite and even begins to think that it could be a Larry situation again. They get into a fight about this and ends with one of them losing their temper. After though, Kenny will try to mend his relationship with Lee. They will talk about past events and Lee can apologize for anything Lee ever did wrong to Kenny. They can then share a drink.

If Ben was saved, Ben will fall off the balcony and zombies come, Kenny will try and get Lee to leave. Lee can either leave or stay, forcing Kenny to lock Lee behind a gate for safety. Kenny tells Lee he has to do this and tells Lee to save Clementine. Lee stays and screams for Kenny as he is surrounded by walkers and attempts to fight them off with his fists.

If Ben was killed in Episode 4, Christa gets trapped in a room by walkers when getting the walkie-talkie. Kenny jumps in and lifts her out. Lee screams for Kenny as Kenny runs off from the herd firing his gun at the oncoming horde.

Either option, Lee will be depressed about Kenny and can call Kenny a good man.

Lilly
"He treated you like shit, knew who you were and you try to save him. The last thing you need to do is to apologize."

- Lilly to Lee about Larry after he told her about his past. (Determinant)

Like Kenny, Lilly's relationship with Lee is determined by his decisions. If Lee often sides with Lilly, she will show him a side of her that no one else seems to see, and will be nice and caring towards Lee. If he sides with Kenny, however, she will act much more hostile towards Lee. Lee and Lilly's relationship is seriously affected during the meat locker incident at the St. John's dairy. If Lee decides to try and help revive Larry, she will be more understanding towards Lee, and save him when he is held at gunpoint by Danny St. John, and later again when Andrew St. John is attempting to force his face onto an electrified fence.

Lee and the group worry for her mental health after Larry's death. When at the motel, he is the one to talk to her about it. Bad standing or Good, she seems to trust Lee the most and even opens up to him about the thief. She asks him to investigate and he agrees. If they have good standings, she will not believe him to be the thief; however on the other hand should Lee and Lilly have poor standings with each other she will warn Lee that she believes he may be the thief.

Carley
"I never really got to tell her, but, yeah, I did have feelings for her."

- Lee telling Katjaa he had feelings for Carley.

Carley and Lee started a good relationship from the very first meeting of the two, where she and Glenn saved Lee, Clementine, Kenny, Katjaa, and Duck from a pack of walkers, much to the disdain of Larry and Lilly. Later on, she saves Lee's life again when she shoots the walker in the drug store. When Carley reveals she knows Lee's secret, he can choose to either trust her, or not. Either way, she'll be rather supportive of Lee's actions. When given the choice to save either Carley or Doug, Lee's decision may lead to Carley's death.

If Carley is saved, Lee and her relationship continues to grow over three months, to a seemingly high level. She supported his decision to bring either David Parker or Travis to the camp after being injured. If she is given food, other than the apple, she will refuse it, saying Lee already helped her out, and tell him to give it to someone else. She will then save him once again when zombified David/Travis attacks him. After this, the two don't interact much due to her and Ben Paul going back to the motel to guard it. Later on, during the night, Carley helps Lee against Andrew St. John, by shooting him in the ear. Carley will remain neutral towards raiding the station wagon.

In episode three, Carley will tell Lee to tell the people he trusts about his secret, and to talk to her when he's done. When he comes back, she and Lee will start conversing and seemingly flirt, leading Carley to kiss him on the cheek. When she is accused of taking supplies and giving them to the Save-Lots Bandits by Lilly, along with Ben, she will aggressively defend herself and Ben. Lee then has the choice to side with her or not, regardless, Lilly will shoot and kill Carley on the spot, much to the shock of everyone, especially for Lee, who was about to mourn, devastated, looking through the window how Carley's corpse has been dropped out on the road.

The next day, Lee confesses to Katjaa that he had feelings for Carley.

Doug
"Lee, if we don't make through this. You should know that...I think you're a great guy."

- Doug to Lee whilst fending off the zombies.

If Doug was saved in Episode 1, the two seemed to build a quick friendship, with Lee thinking Doug's resourcefulness and technical abilities are a valuable asset. In return, Doug seemed to be loyal to Lee, sacrificing any rations given to him so that Lee would not go hungry and starve. In Episode 3, Lee seemed concerned about Doug's mental health, to the point of bringing it up with Lilly. After Doug was accidentally shot by Lilly, Lee, as well as the entire group, was shocked.

Larry
"You must really hate me...but guess what? You're stuck with me. I plan to be around LONG after you're gone and if you turn...I'll be the one to put the axe through your skull."

- Larry to Lee.

Lee and Larry weren't friends at all and Larry showed extreme distrust towards Lee. At one point, Larry punched Lee in the face and left him for dead, although Kenny intervened and helped him. Lee either tries to get along with Larry, giving him the benefit of the doubt, or simply tries to not talk to him, depending on Lee's actions. However, Lee never showed any real hatred towards Larry. In fact, Lee can try and convince Larry they don't have to be enemies. Lee has to decide whether or not to help Kenny kill Larry during the events in the meat locker at the St. John dairy. This goes on to affect his relationship with Larry's daughter, Lilly, greatly. After the death of Larry, he is shown to either feel guilty and doubtful of his actions (If he helped Kenny), or angry at Kenny for killing him (If he helped Lilly).

Katjaa
"You've always looked at me with kind eyes, I wonder if you could still do that if you knew I was a convicted felon."

- Lee telling Katjaa about his past.

Lee and Katjaa have a friendly relationship because Katjaa takes care of Clementine when Lee is unable to. Lee is the first non-family member to be told about Duck's bite. This shows that Katjaa thinks Lee is a very trustworthy person. When Duck is about to die Katjaa asks Lee to be there for Kenny, if Lee volunteers to shoot Duck then Katjaa is grateful, saying he'd be doing the family a great service.

Duck
"Duck thinks you are incredibly awesome."

- In-game message if Lee high fives Duck.

Lee and Duck aren't shown interacting very often although when they do they seem to get along and are friendly towards each other although Lee can find him slightly irritating. Their relationship can improve if Lee allows Duck to help him discover who has been stealing their supplies and Lee high fives him after he helps then Duck will regard Lee as incredibly awesome. Lee is later shown to be saddened by Duck's death, even more so if he chooses to shoot Duck himself.

Mark
"I just want you to know I've got your back on whatever you decide."

- Mark to Lee.

Lee and Mark have a good friendship. Mark trusts and supports Lee in his decisions. Lee worries about Mark when he is not present at the dinner made ​​by the St. Johns, and is later shocked and outraged when he finds out they cut off his legs and served them for dinner.

Ben Paul
"God...poor fucking kid. He didn't deserve any of that."

- Lee about Ben's death if saved in Ep 4.

Lee and Ben's relationship is completely up to the player. Lee doesn't trust Ben much since his appearance, but accepts him as a part of the group. However, this relationship becomes strained after discovering that Ben is partially responsible for the bandit attack which forced them to leave the motel. In "Around Every Corner" Lee is visibly annoyed with Ben as he ran away from zombies that endangered Clementine while he was in a position to help, much of the relationship determined by Lee after this, Lee may not blame Ben for the bandit attack as he knows that Ben never meant for any of it to happen and attempt to show Ben that he trusts him as much as anyone else in the group, or he may be mistrustful and frustrated towards Ben to the point where Lee can allow him to die in Crawford.

If Ben escapes Crawford, then, after Lee is bitten, Ben will trust Lee to decide whether or not Ben should go with him to search for Clementine. However, if Lee leaves the decision up to Ben, then Ben's decision will depend on his relationship with Lee; if Lee has not shown him much faith and support in the past, then Ben will decide to stay behind, but if Lee has always tried to support and defend Ben, then he will willingly accompany Lee out of gratitude.

If Ben is saved, he is impaled on the rung of the balcony after it comes loose when Kenny jumps across. Lee can either choose to leave Ben with Kenny, or exclaim he's not going anywhere, causing Kenny to forcefully shove him out into a gate. After Ben's death, Lee is extremely depressed, saying that he didn't deserve any of it.

Chuck
"You deserved better, old man."

- Lee, after finding Chuck's dead body in the sewers.

Initially, Lee doesn't trust Chuck, but Lee quickly grows to respect Chuck after he gives Lee advice on how to make Clementine better at protecting herself and after he gave Lee tips on how to keep her safe. This respect grew when Chuck saved Clementine from a group of zombies. When Chuck was overrun, Lee seemed worried about him, but pressed on. When Lee finds Chuck dead, he says he deserved better.

Christa
"You two would be great for her."

- Lee to Christa, about taking care of Clementine.

Similar to how Lilly was when Lee first met her, Christa seems to be suspicious and doubtful of the group's motive to travel to Savannah, but tags along with the group due to Omid's persistence. For the better part of Episode 3, they both seemed have a dislike for each other as a result of Christa bossiness in Lee's ways of caring for Clementine, but nonetheless still occasionally cares for Lee out of respect. By Episode 4, the pair seemed to have gotten used to each other, if not liked each other better since Lee volunteered to look for medicines in order to treat Omid's leg injury. If Lee decides to tell the group about the bite on his hand, Christa and Omid are the first who willingly volunteered to go along with Lee to search for a missing Clementine, with Christa stating that it is all of their responsibilities, showing that she has come to trust and like Lee and Clementine.

Omid
"With your arm and my leg, I'll cripple fight you right here."

- Omid to Lee, joking about their injuries.

Omid's optimistic personality and interest in history allowed the both of them to become quick friends. Not much of their relationship was explored or revealed, as Omid spent the better part of his time resting in Episode 4 due to an injured leg. In Episode 4, if Lee doesn't tell about the bite, Omid will volunteer to go but Christa convinces Omid not to, despite Omid's objections; showing Omid cared for Lee enough to go with him.

Glenn
"You gotta do what you gotta do."

- Lee's determinate words, telling Glenn about his decision to head to Atlanta.

Glenn and Lee are shown to share common attributes, including a kindhearted sense of humanity and outgoing bravery, displayed by both when they agree to help a woman trapped in the Travelier Motel surrounded by walkers. Both are shown to appreciate each other, as they aid each other in times of need; Glenn leaves the pharmacy to go on a supply run for Lee and the rest of the group and, when he gets surrounded by walkers, Lee and Carley head out to rescue him. Glenn also admires Lee's ability to kill walkers while infiltrating the Motor Inn, describing it as "Rad." While talking to Glenn after they return to the pharmacy, Glenn will question Lee's decision to give Irene the gun. Depending on Lee's decision, Glenn will either understand or disapprove of Lee's decision.

Stranger
"You did this to us, you ruined everything!"

- Stranger to Lee about stealing his family's supplies.

The relationship between the Stranger and Lee Everett is determined by a decision he makes in Episode 2. If Lee decides to raid the Stranger's station wagon, he will despise Lee and will openly insult him. If Lee chose not to raid his station wagon, he will be slightly more sympathetic, saying "I didn't want to hurt you, only your group." Either way, Lee will hate him for kidnapping Clementine, and will try to kill him later on in the episode. The Stranger will also criticize Lee's choices throughout the game, including: Giving Irene the gun to kill herself or refusing to, saving Carley or Doug, whether or not he chose to go to the St. John's Dairy Farm, killing the St. John brothers or not, stealing supplies from his station wagon or not, leaving Lilly at the side of the road or not, bringing Clementine to Crawford or not, dropping Ben Paul to his death or not.

After conversing for a while, Stranger tells Lee he will take care of Clementine, and Lee may even consider letting her stay with Stranger, but, after he talks to the decapitated head in the bowling bag, and Clementine sneaks out of the room she's trapped in, Lee will tell Clem to either stab him in the shoulder with the cleaver or hit him in the head with another item or her fist, either way, Stranger and Lee will get into a fight, resulting in Lee choking the Stranger to death, or him trying to kill Lee, and Clementine shooting him in the head.

However, the Stranger's wish to kill Lee indirectly came into fruition due to his actions.

Shawn Greene
"No problem, Lee. Couldn't leave you behind."

- Shawn to Lee, if he left Clem's house during the day.

Shawn and Lee had varying relationships depending on Lee's decisions. They mostly remained formal and friendly, speaking to each other in positive tones, unless Lee decided to lie. They had a conversation about the apocalypse, and Lee offered to cut wood for Shawn's fortification-building process. When Shawn was attacked by walkers, if Lee chose to attempt to assist him, Shawn revealed this in his last dying words to his father, which brightened Hershel and Lee's relationship.

Molly
"It's been fun."

- Molly, before parting from Lee and his group.

Their relationship started rocky as Lee mistook her for the Stranger and tried to kill her. After the fight, Lee demands to know about Molly. Their relationship decreased a little more when he finds out she was ringing the bells. Shortly after, she ditches them for zombies, but at the last minute tries to save him. When Lee was getting over run, she gave him her weapon. When Lee returned, he finds her scavenging the house. From this point, their relationship is determinant as Lee can try to get to know her or just ignore her. When talking about Crawford, she will make fun of some of his ideas, but still comes with him believing she deserved a spot on the boat. When at Crawford, Lee and her went to get the battery, but she ditched him. She came back just as Lee made it to the garage, and together they got the battery and escaped. She saved Lee's life by pulling him up from the buildings. However, she ditched him again with the battery.

When she returns, Lee knows about her past in Crawford (determinant). Lee can confront her about it, or ignore it. She trusts him enough and tells him about her dark past, and Lee can be sympathetic toward her. When walkers invade, Lee has the option of leaving Molly to die (only if Clementine wasn't brought to Crawford). If still alive, she will try to sneak away from the house, but Lee will catch her. When Molly reveals she is not going, Lee can either convince her to come or say it's for the best. Molly and Lee, depending on dialogue choice, share a hug before she leaves. No matter how Lee treats her, her and Lee will part on good terms.

Hershel Greene
"You're gonna have to depend on the honesty of strangers if you're gonna make it. And if those same people get to questioning yours, you're gonna be in trouble."

- Hershel to Lee.

Due to Hershel's short time in the game, they don't interact much. When Lee first arrives at the farm, he will volunteer to fix his leg. Hershel will begin to question Lee about what happened and he has the option of lying or telling the truth. If Lee lies, he will automatically know it but keeps it to himself. When they talk the next day, if lied to, Hershel will confront him about the lie and says he has to become a better liar. No matter if Lee told the truth or lie, he will talk with him about the trust of strangers and the matter of family, but this is cut short of Shawn's scream. As Hershel gets his gun, Lee has to choose whether to save Shawn or Duck. If he saves Duck, Shawn will die and Hershel will blame him and kick him off his land with no mercy. If he tries to save Shawn, he will still die, but Hershel will be more sympathetic towards Lee, but will still kick him off. Lee respected his wishes, and left.

Vernon
"I know you think you're doing what's best for her. And if you were her real father we wouldn't be having this conversation. But you're not. And staying with you is not what's best for her. If no-one else around here will tell you that, then I will."

- Vernon telling Lee his opinion of Clementine's safety after Lee told Vernon off.

Lee's relationship with Vernon can vary greatly depending on the choices Lee makes. If Lee was honest with Vernon when they first met, they have a generally cordial relationship. However, if he lied to or threatened him, Vernon will regard him with more hostility, and doesn't have much trust in him. Additionally, if Lee drops Ben from the bell tower, Vernon will question his morals. Regardless of these choices, Vernon will still offer to take Clementine at the end of Around Every Corner, citing either Lee's immoral actions or inability to provide for a child that isn't his blood as reasons she won't survive long with him. Lee can either calmly ask for time to consider this, or angrily rebuke the offer. Vernon leaves mysteriously the next morning, which leads to Lee believing he kidnapped Clementine. He travels to the morgue that he met Vernon in, only to discover that he and his group had left. Vernon's group had actually stolen the boat they were planning to use, either beating up the people that stayed at the mansion while Lee searched for Clementine or leaving a note saying he regrets leaving them behind. Lee loses whatever respect he had for Vernon, as he stole the only hope he had for getting out of Savannah.

B. Everett
B. is Lee's brother. Not much is known of their relationship. They were not very close due to Lee's killing somebody after he finds out his wife was cheating on him. It can be inferred that Lee didn't know what his brother thought of him after that, as he was not allowed to talk to his family. When Lee had to kill his zombified brother, he was very distraught and depressed over it. Lee misses his family, as was mentioned in Episode 1 to Clementine.

Mr. Everett
Mr. Everett is Lee's father. Not much is told about their relationship, although Lee seemed to have respected him, judging from the way he talked about his father when he and Clementine found his old cane and Lee shared the story that his father would whoop shop lifters with it. Lee was seen to be emotionally distraught on discovering his family was dead, his father included. Lee refers to his parents as "Good people" while discussing them in Episode 1 (Determinant).

Mrs. Everett
Mrs. Everett is Lee's mother. Not much is told about their relationship, but it can be inferred they had a normal mother-son relationship. Lee was emotionally distraught on discovering his family was dead, his mother included. Lee refers to his parents as "Good people" while discussing them in Episode 1 (Determinant).}}

Trivia

 * In a Q&A with Jake Rodkin and Harrison G. Pink, Lead Designer and Episode 3 Designer, it was stated that the prison Lee was being transported to in the beginning of the game is in fact the same prison that the survivors stay at in the comic, West Central Prison.
