As the horde of zombies approached the stadium, Cole and the other residents decide to flee since they did not believe the walls would hold. He, along with everyone else, gathered in the remaining vehicles and drove out into the parking lot. They were quickly overrun and feared dead as hundreds upon hundreds of zombies swarmed the caravan, though unbeknownst to Alicia, Nick, Luciana, and Victor, Cole and the other stadium survivors managed to escape alive after all.
