Season 8
"Still Gotta Mean Something"
Reilly and the other escaped Savior prisoners capture Rick and Morgan near the abandoned dive bar they are resting at. With injured comrades, the Saviors argue over what to do, particularly as Rick reveals that a herd is on the way. Jared refuses to believe them while insisting that they kill Rick and Morgan and press on to the Sanctuary. Rick offers the Saviors a chance to return to the Hilltop and join the community, in which Reilly and a few others seem to seriously consider Rick's offer.
As the herd attacks the bar, Evan and another Savior free Rick and Morgan. As Reilly provided cover fire for Rick and Morgan, he is suddenly attacked by Rick with a hatchet. He was bitten by the invading walkers as he was laying on the ground, dying. He speaks a few words to Rick, choking on his own blood. Rick shoots him once in the head with his revolver.
