When they come upon a swamp, he and the rest of the group rest in the woods while Daryl, Scott, Rosita, and Siddiq clear the walker infested waters. Afterwards, Russ and the Alexandrians arrive at the Hilltop and are welcomed into the community with open arms.
"Do Not Send Us Astray"[]
Russ is among the survivors to take refuge in the Barrington House during the Saviors' attack on the Hilltop. Having survived the assault, he sleeps with the other residents until victims of the tainted weapon attack reanimate and attack everyone. However, Russ is among the survivors to flee the house unharmed.
"Wrath"[]
Prior to the final battle, Russ is cleaning weapons and bullets with Scott at a picnic table at the Hilltop. He later accompanies Rick and the rest of the militia to fight the Saviors in the final battle. After most of the Saviors are wiped out due to Eugene's faulty bullets, Russ and the others fight the surviving Saviors until they surrender.

Trivia[]
- While his name has not been mentioned in dialogue nor has the character been credited, the name Russ was given to the actor for the filming of "Scars".
- Despite this extra being killed off in "Scars", he reappears alive after the time skip in "Guardians". This is an error due to filming not occurring in plot chronological order due to the time skip.
- Russ appears in the archival footage shown at the beginning of "Lockdown" as Judith narrates past events of the show to the audience before the episode's story begins.
