to have developed dementia and works as a barber for the Pioneers. However, it's quickly revealed that Daniel is only faking his dementia in order to keep Virginia and her Pioneers off-guard and he secretly begins working as a spy for Morgan inside of the organization. After Morgan captures Virginia's daughter Dakota, Daniel and Grace are used against him as hostages until Morgan and Virginia are able to reach a deal. The two are then released and Daniel joins Morgan's new community. Following the creation of Morgan's community, Daniel settles into a role as the head of security and is reunited with Skidmark by Victor Strand who was able to locate Daniel's beloved cat and return him to Daniel as a peace offering between the two men. After an explosion and the community's weapons, which Daniel had locked up, going missing, Daniel becomes paranoid that there is a spy in the community for the doomsday cult that is threatening everyone's safety and he targets Strand as the most likely suspect, revealing the lingering effects of Strand shooting him in the face to the other man. Daniel goes so far as to allow a herd of walkers to threaten the gates of the community to try to force the thief to turn over the weapons, but Morgan returns and eliminates the herd with the guns on Al's SWAT van. Ultimately, it turns out that all of the strange occurrences that Daniel has been paranoid about have been caused by Daniel himself. June performs tests on Daniel and determines that his problems are not neurological but psychological, likely caused by his trouble settling into a more normal life while still under threat from the cult. Unwilling to continue to put his friends in danger, Daniel decides to leave with Skidmark and return to his warehouse, but Strand offers to take Daniel back to his base in Lawton, Oklahoma where he can look after him for Ofelia's sake. Daniel accepts Strand's offer and leaves with him. In Grace's dream of the future, Daniel lives in Morgan's community where he works as a barber and is friends with Strand. After Alicia reveals the doomsday cult's plans to launch the USS Pennsylvania's complement of nuclear missiles, Daniel joins the rest of Morgan's group in traveling to the beached sub near Galveston, Texas in order to stop them. Daniel remains outside with many of Morgan's friends
