Later, he expresses a desire to go out on the run which Madison wants to go out on, but he is unable to, the cause later being revealed when Luciana mentions that Strand didn't want him to tag along for unspecified reasons.
At night, as he helps Strand and Douglas push the truck that was wrecked by Nick earlier on in his attempt to go out of the stadium's shelter, he gets taken by surprise as Luciana frantically tells him to ditch it and to run back to the stadium.
Inside, he arms himself and then is seen at the stadium's gate as Madison confronts Mel, the leader of what looks like a hostile gang, to find out what his intentions are.
The next day, he helps Madison, along with rest, to construct the shelter that was going to be originally intended to become a housing unit for Charlie.
"Buried"
Cole and Strand scavenge a greenhouse for supplies. As they search around, Cole talks about his time at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He is disheartened and upset when Strand reveals that he has been secretly gathering supplies in a car in case things go bad at the stadium. Cole is invited by Strand to run away with him, but he rejects his offer and returns to the stadium alone. When Madison asks about Strand, Strand arrives in his secret car before Cole can answer Madison. He watches on as he shares the goods in his car with Madison.
"Just in Case"
Cole is seen glaring at Strand when he concocts a story Strand thanks Cole for keeping his escape car a secret. Cole explains that he’s merely keeping quiet because he’s worried Strand might harm him if he talks. Cole later congratulates Strand on helping accomplish their mission.
"The Wrong Side of Where You Are Now"
Cole is among the stadium residents to help prepare the soil on the crop fields for replanting. Later, he helps fortify the stadium walls with lumber and other materials in preparation for the Vultures' imminent attack. When the Vultures finally arrive, he is armed and on the wall with other residents, watching in horror as the Vultures unleash hundreds of zombies from their trucks towards the stadium.
"No One's Gone"
