Season 3

"Welcome to the Tombs"

Jody is seen as part of the Governor's army, in which they assault the prison. He enters the prison's tombs and after being fired on and nearly attacked by zombies, he flees outside. Jody runs into the woods where Carl Grimes, Hershel Greene, and Beth Greene are hiding. When he encounters them, he is commanded to drop the weapon by Hershel. Jody agrees, and begins to slowly lower his 12 gauge Remington 870 shotgun, while faintly leaning forward. He is suddenly shot in the head by Carl with his 9mm Beretta 92FS pistol. Later on, Carl explains to his father Rick why he murdered Jody, claiming that it was for the safety of the group, using Dale Horvath's, Merle Dixon's, and his mother Lori's deaths as examples of ones that could have been prevented by killing beforehand.
