In the mid-season premiere "Honor", in a flashback, Carl keeps his bite mark hidden, and makes sure Siddiq finds quarters in the sewers below the community.

In “A New Beginning”, Siddiq was part of the supply search expedition inside an abandoned museum in the city of Washington, D.C., and in the course he was attacked by a walker full of spiders, confessing to the rest of the group his fear for the arachnid.

On their trip to the communities once the mission was over and after discovering that the bridge that connected with them had been blocked by a storm, the survivors without further choice were forced to look for other routes to their destination and on the way the car that They were getting stuck under mud, as a group of walkers approached their location.

After he managed to free the wooden vehicle and prepare to escape, Siddiq watched in horror as Ken was bitten by one of the creatures and in an attempt to save the boy's life, he simply couldn't do anything else for him but just see how he succumbed to the infection.

With the arrival of a group of outsiders to their doors after they were rescued by Judith from a herd of walkers, Siddiq quickly treated the wound that one of the newcomers had done to the head and subsequently attended the meeting convened at the church of the place to decide its destiny within the walls.

Convinced that the newcomers were not a problem for anyone, Siddiq agreed to allow them to stay in the community; although he eventually changed his mind after Michonne unmasked the team leader about her dark past and the knife she had hidden in her belt.

In “Stradivarius”, when Michonne decided to escort the newcomers to Hilltop instead of abandoning them to her fate, Siddiq accompanied the woman on her trip and maintained that she had to allow Magna and her companions to remain in Alexandria, but it made it clear that only I was helping them for their daughter.

After arriving at the site where Magna's group was previously camping, the outsiders were sad to discover that the place was razed by walkers and that none of their other companions managed to survive, and while they collected some supplements from the ground, Siddiq found a flute that belonged to Luke and confessed to having played the instrument during his youth.

After spending the night in an old warehouse, Siddiq tried to convince Michonne to change his mind about traveling with them to Hilltop and finally informed him that Maggie and her baby had left the community to found other establishments with Georgie.

Repented by the secret he had kept to Michonne, Siddiq again apologized to the woman for what he had done and subsequently visited Rosita in the infirmary only to listen to the warnings of this one that Daryl and his team had no idea what They faced.

In “Adaptation”, Siddiq was one of many people to sadly observe the arrival of Daryl and his team to the community with the lifeless body of Jesus; and quickly proceeded to attend to Eugene of his dislocated leg in his office.

While looking for some bandages for the man, Siddiq watched as Rosita left the room to be able to vomit away from others and offered to address her discomfort by stating that she was still recovering from her injuries, but was informed by her that she was pregnant with him as product of the adventures they had before starting a relationship with Gabriel.

With no time to lose, Siddiq followed Gabriel's plan to move to Aaron's house and with his companions he tied himself to a rope and entered the storm setting his way to his new refuge.

In the season premiere: "Lines We Cross", several months have passed since the mysterious disappearance of The Whisperers in the area, Siddiq could enjoy the birth of the baby he was waiting for with Rosita and set off to take the role of father, receiving the help of Eugene and Gabriel with the care of Coconut.

Despite his deep happiness, Siddiq was not able to get rid of his head contemplating how his friends were executed by Alpha and began to suffer from hallucinations due to his post-traumatic stress disorder.

After observing how a satellite fell in the vicinity of the space and collapsed within the territory of the Whispers, Siddiq decided to lend his help to extinguish the forest fire that had caused the disaster and had no choice but to cross the border that his enemies had marked.

In "Ghosts," when Alexandria was attacked by herds of walkers for forty-nine hours, Siddiq helped defend the community of creatures along with the rest of his companions and subsequently attended the meeting convened by Michonne to discuss what was happening, although he suffered again of hallucinations that forced him to retire.

His disorder in turn prevented him from attending to the wound that Carol had done while defending himself against some walkers and his problems were eventually discovered by Dante, who told him that he understood what was going on and enjoyed a drink together thus encouraging their friendship.

In "Silence the Whisperers," more hallucinations about what happened in the stable began to dominate Siddiq's mind and prevented him from paying full attention to the scene of the crime committed by Negan against one of the bandits in his attempt to save Lydia from her abusers; heading quickly to the infirmary and immersing his face against icy water.
