"Patient Zero"

The police officers then watch the broadcast, which states that there is a rapidly spreading illness. Patty then shows up covered with blood but she asks for her father. If Shane asks her, she says she ran into some tree branches, but is believed to be lying. If Shane interrogates her, it is said by Patty that Paul had a burning fever all day and was in bed, and when he woke up he was crazy, and tore up the bedroom. Gary then grabs his shotgun to scare Paul, but Paul attacked Patty, infecting her with the disease.

"First Blood"

Later, as fellow Deputy Don is about to unlock Gary to put him into the interrogation room, Shane gets a text message from Lori Grimes, saying she's going to check on Rick Grimes at the hospital. He responds, saying "Sit tight, I'll go." At that same moment, Robb tears off a chunk of flesh from Don's neck, and goes for Gary. Shane can shoot Gary. If he did, Robb will devour Gary. Shane can choose shoot Robb. If he did, he shoots Robb twice on the chest, ending him with a shot to the head or directly in the head if he learned how to kill a zombie. Also, Shane can choose pull them up. As Shane helps Gary, Leon stands near the two/three dead bodies. There was a noise coming from the front desk area where Patty was, and Leon goes to investigate and check up on her. If Gary is survived, he then says Robb was "just like Paul." He then says the only way you could kill them was to blow off their head and if Gary didn't trust Shane, he will say "I won't talk you" or if he trusted Shane, he will say "I trust you.". Seconds later, Leon is heard screaming and Shane runs to assist him.

"No Turning Back"

He finds Patty on top of Leon trying to bite him. Shane can choose hit Leon, causing his death or hit Patty or pull them. If Gary survived, he will attempt to stop Shane about shoot Patty. Shane can push him aside, saving his life. If Gary doesn't trust him, he will die if he is not pushed by Shane. If Gary trusted him, he will survive. Later, Patty shot by Shane.
