Outside the walls, the walker that Aiden, Nicholas & Mickey tied up has disappeared. The walker appears again and Tara tries to grab onto it. Tara looses grip of the skin as it peels off, and Mickey tries to kill the walker but Lucas steps in and Mickey ends up shooting Lucas in the leg. The walker is finally killed by Glenn. Lucas is angry at Mickey for shooting him in the leg and is helped back to Alexandria by him, after Mickey apologizes over and over again to him.

Later, Lucas walks over to Glenn and Nicholas who are speaking to one another about Noah. Lucas asks if there's a problem, and Glenn walks off. Lucas tells Nicholas to keep his cool and to knock it off, as something big could happen if the word got out that Nicholas & Mickey left Noah behind.

Eventually in the sewers, they go back after Maggie reveals that she is pregnant. He and Maggie wash Glenn and Nicholas' names off the walls.

He is in the RV trying to get some rest while they drive to the Hilltop.

He then witnesses Rick stabbing Ethan in the neck, and then standing up and saying 'What?'

"Not Tomorrow Yet"
Lucas first appears in this episode in the church while Rick is giving his speech about going after the Saviors.

Rosita follows the tracks while Denise follows Daryl, Lucas is annoyed by the splitting up but he goes with Rosita so she at least has someone to watch her back.

Lucas and Rosita debate about whether or not the Saviors deserved what they got, and both of them are unsure. Later, they meet up with Daryl and Denise then they continue their journey to the medicine place. While they are walking, Lucas learns about how Daryl got his crossbow and bike stolen by a man in the burnt forest. Lucas tells him that they've all made that mistake once or twice. They arrive at the place soon after, Daryl and Rosita make sure the place is clear while Lucas stays out with Denise. They then go inside after its clear and Daryl, Rosita and Denise take everything in the store and Denise discovers a room which its insides spook her and she runs outside.

After that, they head back to Alexandria with everything that they needed, Daryl decides to take the tracks this time. While traveling on the tracks, Denise discovers a car with a cooler inside. She says she wants to get it but the three of them say it isn't worth it. They continue on but Denise stays behind, opening the door and trying to kill the walker. She eventually does after tumbling with it a bit and then Daryl seems angry about her risking her life for a can of soda. Denise then gets angry when Rosita asks if she is seriously that stupid and Denise tells Rosita and Daryl that they are both really good people until her words are cut short when she is hit in the back of the head by a crossbow bolt. The killer is revealed to be Dwight, who appears with a half-burned face, the three of them are ordered to drop their guns, due to them having Eugene as a hostage. Dwight complains that the crossbow kicks like a bitch and says that he wasn't aiming for Denise, but implying that he was aiming for Daryl. Lucas insults Dwight saying that crossbows don't kick and that he is a shitty marksman. Dwight seems amused and then orders Norman, a fellow Savior to shoot Lucas in the throat if he speaks again. Dwight then says that Daryl, Rosita and Lucas need to tell Dwight where their community is located or else they will kill Eugene, Rosita, Lucas and then Daryl. Dwight then asks what their decision is, and Eugene says that if they are going to kill someone, kill their companion hiding behind the oil barrels, Eugene claims that he deserves it so much better than those four. This serves as a distraction, so a fight ensues. Lucas shoots one in the stomach,and kills another one, then shoots Norman in the shoulder. The one he shot in the stomach is finished off by Daryl, and then once the Saviors start retreating, Lucas gets up and kills another one by shooting him right in the head. Eugene is revealed to be shot. Abraham, Rosita and Daryl pick him up to bring him back to Alexandria while Lucas picks up Denise's body to be buried back at Alexandria.

Lucas is brought to the infirmary where he meets up with Daryl. Norman orders him not to talk to him, but Lucas taunts Norman and then Lucas is knocked to the ground by him. Later, he is back in his cell being forced to listen to Easy Street. It is clearly driving him mad. Negan enters and Dwayne, Lucas' brother-in-law shows himself and the two are reunited. Dwayne tries to get him to become a Savior, without torturing him, but Lucas automatically declines. Lucas thinks of him as a changed man and refuses to speak to him.

Dwayne reveals how he got separated from Lucas, and Lucas reveals what happened to his sister and his niece to Dwayne, and also reveals that he had a daughter and a wife who had died.

The next day, Lucas is with Sasha, Maggie and Jesus when they go speak to Gregory about them staying. When the Saviors enter the Hilltop, Lucas, Maggie and Sasha are put into a closet to hide. He calls Gregory a piece of shit after the Saviors leave, clearly upset that Gregory was thinking of giving them up to the Saviors. Later, Maggie sees Lucas preparing to leave after reuniting with Enid. She tries to get him to stay, but Lucas refuses and says that he has to get Daryl out of the Sanctuary, but realizes that doing so is a suicide mission and Maggie tells him that he could get captured once again.

Lucas accompanies them to the Kingdom, and on the way there he is brought up to speed of what happened at Alexandria while he was held hostage at the Sanctuary and was at the Hilltop. Rosita tells him about Spencer and Olivia's death, and Lucas basically scolds her for trying to kill Negan, but promises that he doesn't mean to say it in a hurtful way, only that he wants to make her understand.

Later, when meeting with the King, he speaks "out of turn" multiple times, clearly getting annoyed by Ezekiel and his theatrics. He eventually quiets down after Rick orders him to. He very clearly voices his opinion on fighting the Saviors, and questions whether or not Morgan would feel the same way if he was present when Glenn and Abraham were murdered.

"The First Day of the Rest of Your Life"

Later, he is the graveyard, thinking about how Dwight killed Denise, and that he can't accept that he would be willing to help. Lucas tells Rosita who comes up to him that he couldn't let Dwight help if he had killed Rosita or Daryl instead. Rosita says that it doesn't matter who kills Negan, that it only matters if he's killed. Lucas asks why she had to be the one who had to shoot Negan back when Spencer was killed. Before the battle begins, Tara asks if Dwight was sorry about killing Denise. Lucas said when he did it, he wasn't, but he's unsure if he's sorry as of the current time.

"The Big Scary U"
Lucas appears sitting next to the car and learns of the Kingdom army's fate with Rick & Daryl. Later, Rick gives Lucas a bottle of water to 'clean his hands' but instead he pours it over his head and drinks some of it, and claims there's no point in cleaning his bloody hands as they're only going to get bloodier. He asks Rick if he ever sees things that aren't there, Rick is confused by the random question and Lucas just tells him to forget it. Later, Lucas runs over to Rick & Daryl during their fight, pulling Daryl off of Rick and then getting into a little brawl with him as well. Rick notices flames near the truck and he gets Lucas and Daryl moving away from it, and then it explodes.

Shortly after, Lucas tries to make amends with Daryl, but he doesn't seem to be interested. Lucas walks off, calling him an asshole under his breath. Daryl drives off with his motorcycle while Lucas and Rick make their way to Jadis' group. Lucas voices his disapproval of meeting with the Scavengers but says that he's with Rick because it's better to go with him rather than Rick going alone. Rick appreciates it. On the way there, they notice a helicopter and the two of them exchange looks -- completely stunned. At the end of the episode, Lucas and Rick are seen walking towards the Scavengers' home base through the binoculars of one of the Scavengers.

Norman and Dwayne are briefly shown, but in quick flashes. Later, Rick is brought up to fight a walker, and Lucas is there to watch. There is a gun to Lucas' head, as some sort of pressure to Rick. While Rick uses the walker to fight against the other Scavengers, Lucas ends up smacking a Scavenger with his hands, even though they are tied. He ends up getting a Scavenger in a headlock while Rick had Jadis' face close to the walker head. Jadis agrees to a deal and Lucas lets go of the Scavenger.
