Major Story Arcs
Rachel seems curious as her father Hershel introduces Rick’s newly arrived group to the family. Like her sister, she doesn’t interact very much with the group and seems to always be hanging around with Susie.
Rachel doesn’t witness the barn massacre but she does attend the ceremony at the graves of Arnold, Lacey, and Shawn with her family. Rick’s group is soon kicked off the farm but the family encounters frequent zombie attacks due to the air getting warmer. The family welcomes the idea of moving into the prison with Rick and does so. Rachel and Susie help their father stake out the boundaries for a new garden. When Maggie and Glenn emerge from the prison with haircuts, both Susie and Rachel want their hair cut and they are directed to the prison’s barbershop with Hershel chiding them to be careful. After a while, Hershel goes looking for his daughters. He finds them in the barbershop with both of their heads cut off. As he mourns with his daughter Maggie, both girls’ heads reanimate. Glenn finds Hershel weeping and shoots the girls.
Some of the group blamed the deaths on Dexter, a known murderer, but it is discovered later that the girls were killed by Thomas, a man supposedly in prison for tax evasion.
