[1] Connie is part of a group of survivors from Richmond who joins the Alexandria Safe-Zone two years after the fall of Negan and the Saviors.

[volume & issue needed] After being rescued and taken to Alexandria, Connie and her group were interviewed by Rick and Andrea in order to allow them to stay, and although at first they felt comfortable with the community they soon began to distrust the idyllic life they led.

Connie, like the rest of her group, defended themselves from the walkers while trying to escape, although they ended up being surrounded by them and subsequently rescued by an unknown person.

Inside Father Gabriel's church, Connie and her group were questioned about their profession before the outbreak began and the things they did to survive; and, despite making good impressions on the council members with their responses, the story told by Magna was questioned by Michonne, who showed that the woman had spent a long time in prison from the tattoos she had on her hand and, if that was not enough, she forced her to deliver the knife she had hidden in her belt.

In the episode "Stradivarius", as they made their way to the Hilltop, Connie and the rest of her group made a stop at the place where they were attacked by the herd of walkers and took advantage of the moment to collect all their stuff that they had left behind when they escaped from the herd - among them Bernie's belongings - with which Yumiko tried to convince Magna to take them as a souvenir to her late friend.

While discussing the strange nickname of the community's leader, Connie and her group met Carol, who personally introduced herself to her with sign language.

In the episode "Omega", after discovering in the wood the horses that belonged to Luke and Alden who were missing, Connie and her friends were surprised by several walkers who emerged from the woods and without further choice were forced to return to Hilltop for their safety, except for Kelly, who in tears opposed the idea and remembering the time Luke rescued them in Coalport and was later comforted by his sister, who ordered Magna and Yumiko to move forward without them while helping Kelly to recover.

At dawn, Connie and Daryl devise a plan to use an office building as a means of separating the Whisperers from the undead.

Afterward, Connie draws the herd away with her slingshot and Daryl tells the others they're headed to Alexandria to get Henry help because it's closer.

In the fair, Connie apologizes to Kelly for leaving in a rush and confess she saved the baby because she still hasn't moved on from a past trauma.

In the season premiere "Lines We Cross", some months after the blizzard, Connie and the Coalition form a militia in order to train the several residents of the communities to face any future threats.

That night, Connie and the others decide to cross Alpha's border to put out the fire and avoid it burning down Oceanside.

In the episode "Silence the Whisperers", Connie is alerted to the commotion of a tree falling onto a house and a portion of Hilltop's walls.

That night, Connie and the other residents kill the incoming walkers with the help of the Alexandria convoy when the herd invades the community.

The following morning, Connie hugs Luke goodbye advising him to be safe as he rides with the parting group towards Oceanside and watches as they leave the community.

As Connie grows worried for her sister, Daryl tells her a story about how he saved his brother Merle from drowning during a fishing trip but was chastised for not getting the beer off the lake.

That night, Connie finds Daryl as he is preparing to head back to Alexandria and apologizes for involving him with Kelly and Magna's lie.

In the episode "The World Before", Connie is part of the group from Hilltop to meet up with Daryl, Carol, and Aaron in the woods to go find the horde following Gamma's intel.

The next day, the group arrives at the location of the horde in a clearing only to find it's empty, so they leave to go search for the missing Lydia.

In the episode "Walk With Us," Magna makes her way back to Hilltop and reveals that she and Connie had escaped by using walker guts to hide among the herd.

In "Out of the Ashes", Keith, a surviving Whisperer, reveals to Carol, Lydia, Aaron and Jerry that his group had seen Connie alive recently and he directs them to the area.

In "On the Inside," Kelly begins a frantic search for her sister with the help of Carol, Magna, Aaron and Rosita.

Escaping outside, Kelly arrives just in time to save Connie and Virgil from two surviving Ferals and the sisters are finally reunited.

In "For Blood," Connie joins Carol's group in defending Alexandria as the residents split up when the massive storm causes part of the damaged wall to fall and a herd to get in.

An amused Connie reveals to her friends that she had once exposed Commonwealth Governor Pamela Milton's uncle for corruption and gotten him kicked out of Congress.

Connie and the others return to the Commonwealth to overthrow Pamela and are finally reunited with Tyler Davis whom they had been searching for since his disappearance, expressing understanding over his actions.

Connie tells a visiting Daryl that she intends to keep the new administration, led by now-Governor Ezekiel Sutton, honest through her work.

We experienced the scene from Connie's point of view, which added a thrilling dimension to the sequence, since we couldn't hear the zombies sneaking up on her.

It was something that couldn't be done with a hearing character and opened up new possibilities for types of Walking Dead action scenes, an impressive feat for a show nine seasons in.

"[4] The current showrunner of the series Angela Kang also expressed her praise on the scene that rescued the newborn from the Whisperers' herd and said: "We just wanted to feel how scary that is and how capable she is, and how much she cares, in the moment, for saving this baby, that she would risk herself when she could have just stepped back.
