"Evolution"

At Hilltop, Rodney, Gage and Addy notice a solitary Henry and invite him to hang with them in the woods. 

At night, Henry drinks with his new friends in a shed outside of Hilltop. Gage suggests they have some more fun and takes them to a covered hole in the ground with a walker inside. Addy leaves as they throw rope rings at it and Rodney pees on it. Henry jumps in and mercy kills the walker. Gage is pissed at Henry for being a buzzkill and leaves him there.

"Chokepoint"

On the road, Rodney and Tara’s group clear a tree from their path to the Kingdom to ensure the roads are cleared for Alden's convoy carrying the food and trade goods for the fair. Upon finding a downed tree, Rodney remains alert and checks the surrounding area. He keeps on watch as the others help chop the tree into pieces to clear the road.

Later, a small herd of walkers approaches the group. They get in position and remind themselves to watch for the Whisperers. Suddenly, the Highwaymen ride up on horses and introduce themselves to Tara after helping to take down the herd. They then escort them to the Kingdom, having accepted Carol's deal.

In the Kingdom, Rodney excitedly looks around the Kingdom with Gage and Addy.

"The Calm Before"

After Henry arrives at the Kingdom, Addy makes amends with him for ratting Henry out earlier. At the same time, Rodney and Gage tell Lydia that Henry and Addy have mutual crushes on each other, enraging Henry when he finds out as he insists that he has no feelings for Addy.

After being released by Alpha, a devastated Daryl, Carol, Michonne, Siddiq and Yumiko come across Rodney's decapitated undead head on a pike alongside those of Addy, Henry, Frankie, Tammy Rose Sutton, Ozzy, Alek, D.J., Tara and Enid. Siddiq later reveals that thanks to the intervention of Ozzy, Alek and D.J., the prisoners were able to have a heroic last stand before they finally fell with the flashbacks depicting a tied-up Rodney being protected by Tammy Rose.
