Raymond is first seen in the Woodbury Arena watching Michonne fight Eugene. When she decapitates Eugene and starts killing the chained up biters, Ray and the other residents looks on in horror.

Made To Suffer

Raymond participated in the prison assault, however after losing several soldiers as the Woodburians were unprepared for the fight. The Governor ordered the remaining Woodbury soldiers (including Raymond) to regroup in the forest. Raymond leads a scouting party consisting of himself, Gabe, Jim, Daniel, Eric and Gloria. After Jim is killed by Michonne, Raymond finds her and Tyreese in the bushes, he swears loudly and aims his AK-47 at Michonne. However, Tyreese knocks him out. While unconscious, Michonne and Tyreese kill Eric. After waking up, Raymond and Daniel capture Tyreese.

Raymond and the rest of the Woodbury Army stay in the forest while the Governor and Gabe return to the Prison. After failing to gain access Into the prison, the Governor, and Gabe return to the forest. Raymond asks them how it went, the Governor lies to him, saying that the prison group shot Tyreese in the head so that the Governor wouldn't use him against them. Just then, Michonne (who Gabe claimed to be dead) aims a gun at the Governor. After a quick standoff, Gabe shoots at Michonne which causes her to miss her shot at the Governor by centimeters.
