Season 6
"Here's Not Here"
Alongside another walker, a zombified Emilio spots Tabitha outside Eastman's Cabin and attempts to attack her. They are intercepted by Morgan Jones, who attempts to protect the goat. Morgan kicks Emilio to the ground easily kills the other walker after a brief struggle by impaling it on an upside down stool, but gets grappled by Emilio immediately after. Struggling with Emilio for a moment, Morgan starts to lose focus but is quickly snapped out of it by Tabitha's screams and tackles Emilio to the ground, where he pulls a spike out of Eastman's garden and stabs Emilio through his last remaining eye.
Afterwards, Morgan drags Emilio's corpse away from the cabin and spots Eastman's Cemetery in the distance. Dragging Emilio's corpse over to it, Morgan starts digging a grave. Later, Eastman arrives and tells him that Emilio destroyed a tomato crop but ultimately says it was worth it for Tabitha and thanks Morgan for protecting her. Morgan then attempts to drag Emilio into the grave but Eastman halts him and searches through Emilio's pants, pulling out his wallet and showing Morgan his driver's license. Sitting down, Eastman analyzes Emilio's name and starts carving it into the grave marker as Morgan drops him into the grave.

Trivia
- This character's name was revealed via a driver's license prop from "Here's Not Here" in 2025 when AMC put hundreds of props and costumes up for sale via auction.
- While a birthday and other identification details are on the prop, they match other driver's license props and are not considered fully accurate, as it was never meant to be seen up close.
