Overview

Rachel is a caring and headstrong woman. She has a loving relationship with Isaac, but is forced to raise their child on her own after his death. However, she gets help from Morgan Jones, who the baby is also named after. She is shown to be willing to go to great lengths for her baby. Later, when Teddy's nukes are about to be launched, Rachel's leg is badly broken, making her unable to walk, thus making her unable to get her baby to safety. Knowing she wouldn't make it, she killed herself and allowed herself to reanimate. However, this was all part of her plan, as she had tied herself to Rufus and restrained her mouth so she couldn't bite Mo. Her walker-self managed to carry the baby to Morgan and Grace, who eventually became Mo's adoptive parents.

Pre-Apocalypse

Nothing is known about Rachel's life prior to or as the outbreak began, other than that she was married to Isaac.

Post-Apocalypse

Season 6

"The End Is the Beginning"

Rachel is a pregnant woman who fled the Pioneers with her husband, Isaac. They found refuge at the dried-up reservoir of a dam in Texas, which hosts the remains of a village before the dam was built. The area remains hidden as it appears as a body of water on maps, successfully tricking Virginia into thinking there is nothing there. By the time Isaac and Morgan arrive at the dam with supplies, Rachel is just starting to go into labor. After the deaths of Emile LaRoux and her husband, she gives birth to a healthy baby girl named Morgan. She and her newborn daughter remain at the dam as Morgan promises to help them and bring them supplies.

"Alaska"

Rachel is taking care of her baby when Morgan Jones arrives with supplies and food, much to Rachel's delight. However, she grows concerned when she realizes the provisions were stolen from the Pioneers, but Morgan reassures her that she and her baby will be okay.

"Things Left to Do"

Rachel is present when Morgan brings Virginia into Valley Town. While Virginia is excited to see Rachel and her newborn baby, Rachel is angry and declares that Virginia should not be there. Morgan tells her that Virginia won't be staying, calming her down.

"Handle With Care"

Rachel is among the townsfolk to participate in daily life in the settlement, helping out with chores and projects around town. She is seen dropping off supplies in the equipment shed. Later that day, she is among the shocked townspeople to witness the unveiling of the weapons at Daniel's shack.

"The Holding"

Rachel is present at the meeting in Valley Town where Morgan reviews the maps stolen by Althea, Luciana, and Wes from the Holding, detailing the cult’s future attack plans on settlements. When Dwight asks if they have any gasoline left, Rachel chimes in that they do not, but the horses are all fed and rested up, ready to be used if needed. After the meeting concludes, Rachel and the other residents return to their homes.

"USS Pennsylvania"

Rachel is among the residents to evacuate Valley Town and drive down to Galveston, Texas, in an attempt to stop the impending missile launch. Riding in a pick-up truck with Grace and Rollie, along with her baby and Rufus, she is among the group of survivors to arrive on a hillside overlooking the beached submarine. While a smaller group heads down to the submarine to stop Teddy and the cult, Rachel stays behind with the others and helps search for a nearby naval base that has the potential to serve as an emergency shelter for their group.

"The Beginning"

After the Texas Naval Base is deemed inhabitable, Rachel is left behind along with her baby and Rufus as the other survivors scramble to find shelter amidst an impending doomsday event. Eventually, Rachel leaves the base in her truck and is a few miles from the coast when she suffers a flat tire. As she attempts to change the flat tire, she hears Morgan's message over the radio about the nuclear missile. As Rachel continues to frantically attempt to change the tire, the wheel drops on her leg, badly breaking it. Desperate to get baby Morgan to safety, Rachel improvises a splint, but is unable to walk very far. Knowing that she will never make it in time, Rachel says goodbye to her daughter and ties herself to Rufus, begging the dog to find other people for her daughter. Gagging herself in order to protect Morgan and Rufus, Rachel disembowels herself with her knife, killing herself.

Later, Rufus leads a reanimated Rachel back to the USS Pennsylvania, where Morgan and Grace hear the baby's cries. Morgan is devastated by his friend's state, and he puts Rachel down with his staff, gently lowering Rachel's body to the ground and taking his namesake from her backpack.

Season 8

"All I See Is Red"

Later, Morgan touches a kiss to Grace's grave, and he has flashes of Eastman, Benjamin, Nick Clark, Isaac, Rachel, John Dorie, John Dorie Sr., Alicia Clark, Jenny, Duane, and Grace, all of the people that he's cared about and lost along the way. This time, Morgan only sees fond memories of his loved ones without the red-tinge, at peace at last with those that he's lost.

Trivia

  • Rachel is the fourth pregnant survivor encountered in Fear The Walking Dead.
  • She and her newborn daughter are the first inhabitants of Valley Town.
  • In the 'In Memoriam' segment of Talking Dead, she is credited as "Baby on Björn Walker"
  • Rachel's introduction episode and death episode share very similar titles, being "The End Is the Beginning" and "The Beginning" respectively.
  • The way in which Rachel dies, and then, while zombified, carries her child with her while her mouth is restrained and she is guided by an ulterior force, may be a reference to the 2017 movie Cargo, in which the main character Andy does the same thing once he succumbs to his infection.
  • Rachel was mentioned by Morgan in "Reclamation" when informing Althea that he and Grace adopted baby Morgan.
  • Rachel was mentioned by Morgan in "Remember What They Took From You" when informing Mo of her birth parents, harshly telling the girl that Isaac and Rachel were her parents, not Morgan and Grace.
    • In "King County", Morgan tells Mo that he and Grace are her parents in every way that matters, but so are Isaac and Rachel, who gave their lives for their daughter.
