Beth Greene is a main character and survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She is the youngest daughter of Hershel and Annette Greene and the half-sister of Maggie and Shawn. She was in a relationship with Jimmy, another survivor of the apocalypse. After his death, she later began a relationship with Zach, who also died. She later formed a brief bond with Daryl Dixon until she was abducted by police officers enlisted in service under Dawn Lerner and forced to stay at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
Overview
Beth is a shy, soft-spoken, and caring sixteen-year old girl who lived a normal life with her family. She lived on her father's farm and attended the local high school. She went to church regularly and strongly believes in her faith. As a result of her father's heavy drinking, she never drank alcohol. Her first appearance was in season 2 and as the season developed, so did she. As the apocalypse started, Beth had been sheltered from the chaos surrounding her. At first, Beth is rather timid, pessimistic, and keeps her emotions to herself, but after being forced to see her mother's death and horrific reanimation, Beth finally breaks down and a different part of her is shown. She tells her sister, Maggie, that she wants to commit suicide. However, after an attempt at slitting her wrist, she has a change of heart and decides to live. With the support from her father and sister, Beth regains her will to live and since then, becomes even more assertive and stronger-willed, even after the death of her boyfriend and Patricia.
By the time the group arrives at the West Georgia Correctional Facility, where they will remain for nearly seven months, Beth has grown more self-assured and goes on to become a more important and vocal member of the group. Beth is a source of optimism and hope for the group, often singing to help boost morale. She is much more hopeful and optimistic and sees the positive side rather than the negative side in a hopeless situation. After the death of Lori Grimes, Beth becomes a caretaker for Lori's newborn baby Judith, taking on a more motherly role.
After the Woodbury conflict, Beth is emotionally stronger, trying many different ways to deal with the loss of hope that grows everyday, realizing that things may someday take a turn for the worse. After dating Zach, she becomes emotionally distant, preparing herself so that when someone she loves dies, she won't shut down emotionally like she would have in the past. After Zach's death, she spends her time dealing with the new crisis surrounding the prison. Beth keeps hope alive, while struggling with herself not to break down emotionally. After her father's death, Beth is distraught but grows stronger and finds new strength in herself. Beth becomes more independent and more skillful at killing walkers. After she escapes from the prison assault with Daryl Dixon, the two become very close, and Beth's faith becomes stronger. She believes there is still hope and good people somewhere, even in this cruel world. She also thinks that since walkers used to be human, they shouldn't be treated cruelly or be made fun of, but instead, respectfully put out of their misery to preserve their humanity.
Pre-Apocalypse
Greene Family Farm
After Hershel married Annette, and she moved into Hershel's farm, she gave birth to Beth. Beth lived her entire life on the farm prior to the outbreak. As Beth grew older, Hershel still had his habit of drinking alcohol, but strictly forbade her ever to drink. Hershel also raised her to do good things in life, and to believe in God and faith. Hershel always protected Beth from the harsh reality from the outside world and not to follow the bad things he had done in his past life, such as going to jail or drinking alcohol. Her family raised her to have good manners and behavior, and were usually overprotective of her. Unlike Maggie, Beth was oblivious to the outside world. She see things in a different perspective, and as a result she believes there's goodness and hope in everything, even in the most desperate situations (like the apocalypse). She also used to sing and play the piano in front of people when she was a young child.
She attended high school, along with Jimmy, and began a casual relationship with him at some point. Jimmy was often protective of Beth. As the apocalypse broke out, Hershel barricaded his remaining family, Jimmy, Otis, and Patricia within the farm. Beth was devastated by her mother and brother's deaths, and her typically positive outlook on the world slowly started changing to a more grim and hopeless one.

Daryl found Beth writing something on her notebook. To his surprise, when he told Beth that Zach had died, she didn't seem upset. Beth stated she doesn't cry anymore.

Maggie leaves Beth to find Glenn telling her that "We all have jobs to do" and that her job is to get the survivors in the bus. This line mirrors what Beth said to Maggie in the episode "Isolation".

Daryl tells Beth that they have to go, so they leave the prison into the unknown.
"Inmates"
Beth is first seen narrating the episode. She is writing in her old journal which she found in her backpack when the group settles at the prison, as she and Daryl are running in the woods and killing walkers. She said that keeping hope alive is crucial in this world. She tries to kill a walker but her gun has no bullets, so Daryl shoots it in the head with his arrow. The two quickly escape. Her and Daryl escape the walkers and run in a field and then fall from exhaustion. She and Daryl later set up a small camp in the woods, with pieces of paper from Beth's notebook. Beth tells Daryl they should do something and look for the others. She sees that Daryl has shut down, and Beth gets up and heads off to search for Maggie, Glenn, or any of the other members of the group after Daryl silently refuses to make an effort to look for them.
The following morning, the two walk by a log where two bunnies are seen decapitated (from Lizzie the night before). Beth tells Daryl it wouldn't kill him to have a little faith, and he replies "Faith didn't do shit for your father." She looks at him, angered, before turning away and gnoring him. She finds berries on a tree and tells Daryl the others will be hungry when they find each other. Daryl hands Beth his bandana and she puts the berries in it for safe keeping. While traveling in search for the others, a walker attacks Beth, but Daryl pulls it away. The walker then falls onto Daryl and Beth stabs it in the head. Together, the two head down the train tracks seen throughout the episode. They see a pile of bodies of people from the prison. Beth finally breaks down. She cries after she believes one of the bodies is Luke's. Daryl turns around to tell her to move along, but she stays there, crying. Daryl doesn't comfort her. Later that night, Beth and Daryl set up a small camp and she told herself to believe for her father and everyone else that they could stay at the prison safely for the rest of their lives.
"Still"
Beth and Daryl come across a destroyed car along the side of the road and she tries to hotwire it. Walkers are heard coming from the trees and both of them hide inside the car trunk, waiting for the walkers to pass. The next morning they get out, scavenge the car for anything useful and leave. Later, Beth sets up a small camp and starts a fire with things that she found while scavenging the car they were hiding in. She collects condensation from plants in a water bottle, and lets a lady bug crawl on her finger. While they both eat the rattlesnake that Daryl skinned, Beth says that she wants a drink. Daryl throws her a water bottle, but she clarifies that she wants some alcohol (due to her father not allowing it). She goes off to find some but encounters several walkers. She distracts them by throwing a stone and luring them away but before she could manage to continue, Daryl finds her and brings her back to camp. Furious, Beth flips out, stating that she wanted something to do rather than just sitting around in their camp, and will find some alcohol, whether Daryl helps her or not. They make their way to a country club, but the front door is locked and walkers are chasing after them. They break in through the back entrance and find walkers, hanging by their necks from the ceiling, having committed mass suicide while still alive. Daryl looks for supplies while Beth goes to find some alcohol. Eventually she finds a bottle of wine, but is forced to destroy it when a walker pins her to the wall, making the bottle as a makeshift weapon. Daryl watches Beth kill the walker, and Beth sarcastically thanks him for his help. In one part of the club is a clothing store, and Beth takes a fresh change of clothes. Beth and Daryl find a dead woman staged as a mannequin with the sign "Rich Bitch" hanging from her neck. Beth asked Daryl to help her put the woman to rest in peace, and after being persuaded, Daryl finally help Beth by covering the woman with a blanket. Suddenly, the grandfather clock they encountered earlier rings and the two run towards a dead end while being chased by walkers. Daryl ferociously clubs the walkers to death with a golf club while Beth hid behind him, and he accidentally splashes walker blood on Beth's new shirt. The two later find the bar as well as a bottle of Peach Schnapps. Beth asks if it's good, but Daryl said no. He breaks a picture frame containing a map and plays with a dart board while Beth looks for a glass. She cries and Daryl smashes the bottle, saying that it won't do for a first drink.
Daryl leads Beth to a shack he found with Michonne and brings out some moonshine. Beth hesitates due to the supposed effects of moonshine, but Daryl pours her a glass anyway. She drinks some, and is disgusted by the taste; nevertheless, she pours another for herself and one for Daryl. Later on, she teaches Daryl the drinking game 'I never'. Daryl asked Beth is she's ever played it before, but she said she's never played it, and only watched her friends playing the game. He plays the game and reveals several stories but Beth accidentally angers him during her turn while saying she never went to jail. After taking a piss against the wall nonchalantly, Daryl goes berserk, starts yelling, and smashing jugs, attracting a walker outside. He sarcastically screamed at her that he never had a frozen yogurt, never had a pet pony, never had a present from Santa, never sung in front of a big group like it was a game, and never slit his wrist to gain attention, which makes Beth angry. He drags Beth outside and (due to her saying she never shot a crossbow before) begins to drunkenly teach her. After he haphazardly shoots several arrows at the walker, Beth stabs it in the head and the two have a fight. Beth yells at Daryl and told him not to just shrug off everything they have went through like it was nothing, and yells at him for thinking that she's just another dead girl. She told him that Daryl can feel emotions like her as well when Sophia and her mom came out of the barn. Daryl lashes out at her, saying she didn't feel a thing when two of her boyfriends died, and told her that she's naïve for thinking that they're going to see the others again. However, he eventually breaks down and cries, blaming himself for Hershel's death while Beth hugs him from behind. That night while the moonshine wears off, the two of them share stories about their past. Daryl tells Beth a story about his family and Merle, and said that he misses him. Beth admits that she envisioned a normal happy life for herself, Hershel, Maggie, Glenn and everyone else at the Prison. She also told Daryl how she misses Shawn, Annette, Hershel, and Maggie. She acknowledges that she doesn't have the skills necessary to survive and will probably be dead soon. Daryl tries to say otherwise, but Beth knows it to be true while he will most likely be "the last man standing", also advising him to be who he is right now, not who he was. She then suggests they both should burn the building down; Daryl goes inside, saying they need more booze. They empty all the jugs and light a wad of money Daryl found. As the cabin burns, they flip it off and leave into the night.
"Alone"
Beth is first seen using Daryl's crossbow and practicing tracking skills. She said that she's getting good at hunting and tracking, and jokingly said that sooner or later she won't need Daryl to protect her anymore. She finds a walker feasting, however, before she can kill the walker, she gets her foot caught in a trap, alerting the walker. Beth fires the crossbow, but it doesn't pierce the brain, and she is saved by Daryl. Daryl takes her via piggyback to a nearby graveyard, where Beth sees a grave with the inscription, "beloved father", reminding her of Hershel. Daryl picks up some wildflowers and places them on top of the grave. She then holds Daryl's hand. At the funeral home, Beth and Daryl find a funeral parlor with walkers dressed up in suits and placed in coffins and on mortuary tables. Beth says it's a beautiful thing to do because the people who cared for the dead bodies still remembered that walkers were once people. Daryl and Beth check the kitchen and find that the shelves are stocked with foods which have no dust, and Daryl determines that someone else is using the funeral home for themselves. Beth believes that there are still good people who survived until now, and Daryl says they will only take half the food for themselves, leaving the rest. At night, Beth is singing and playing a piano beside a coffin, and Daryl listened to her from behind, which startles her. Daryl then decides to sleep inside the coffin beside the piano, and tells Beth to keep singing and playing the piano. She seems amazed and comments that she thought he was annoyed by her singing. She then continues to sing and play the piano as a goodnight song for Daryl.
The next morning, Daryl carries Beth into the kitchen. Suddenly, they hear the cans tied to the porch rattle as if a walker has come up. Daryl opens the door and sees a one-eyed dog barking and wagging its tail. As Daryl reaches to pet it, it runs away. At night, Beth writes a thank you note for the people in the house. Daryl said she shouldn't because they should stay here a little longer. Beth asked why and thought that Daryl finally believes that there are still good people out there. She asked him why he changed his mind and is somewhat surprised when she realizes that she has had an impact on him afterall. They then hear more rattling and the dog barking outside. Daryl goes to the door and opens it believing that the dog wants in, only to have a herd of walkers attempt to barge in. Daryl instructs Beth to run outside and meet him on the road while he distract the walkers. But when Daryl finally makes it outside he sees Beth's bag on the ground with the contents scattered and a black car with a white cross painted on the back windshield speeding off. Beth is believed to have been kidnapped and taken to a hospital in an unknown location.

Hershel is telling Rick that Beth will be taking care of Judith for the day and then Beth said good morning to Rick, reaches for Judith and walks away. In the present time, when Rick and Daryl talk the morning after the fight with the Marauders, Daryl mentions that he was with Beth for a while after the prison attack. Rick asks if she died and he states "She's just gone." Once again in another flashback, Beth is seen with Patrick, Carl and Judith. She is holding Judith while watching Patrick play with Legos and Carl putting a gun together. The final flashback of the episode is outside in the prison yard where Hershel, Rick, and Carl are digging holes for planting as Beth and Judith watch. Carl dropped his hat while digging and Rick puts his sheriff's hat on Beth and jokingly says that she's the new sheriff in town. He compliments her that it looks good on her and says he wants things to stay the way they are.
Season 5
"Slabtown"
Beth wakes up in Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. Since Beth has no idea where she is, she grabs the IV attached to her arm and prepares to defend herself as the small group of survivors walk into her room. Beth is greeted and informed of her whereabouts, as well as being told what happened and her injuries by Dawn Lerner and Dr. Steven Edwards. Dawn coldly says to Beth, "So you owe us". This means that Beth has to pay back, as she has taken from others. Beth soon finds herself paying off these "debts" by assisting Edwards on his rounds, and doing general jobs, such as cleaning. Edwards tells her of the group's history and guides her through many of the community's amenities and pitfalls. After a new patient, Gavin Trevitt, is wheeled in, Beth is instructed to help Edwards. After Dawn finds out that Trevitt will not make it, she furiously slaps Beth in anger. Beth is left bleeding. Beth is targeted by Gorman, whom she met earlier and is the one who took her to the hospital, ultimately wanting her as a sex slave. She is left to endure his sexual advances until Edwards steps in to defend her. Soon after, a new patient is brought in who tried to escape the hospital due to getting raped numerous times, named Joan, who has been bitten. Beth holds her down as her arm is amputated to prevent infection. As Beth gets herself a clean shirt, she is greeted by Noah. She and Noah instantly form a good friendship. Beth unwittingly injects Trevitt with Clozapine, which kills him. An angry Dawn demands to know what happened, and Noah lies and takes the blame. He is beaten by Dawn and Beth is left upset. Dawn later tells Beth that she knew that it was Beth's fault, and lied to protect the hospital's stability. She tells Beth that she isn't strong enough for this world, to which Beth confidently replies, "I am strong." She and Noah both create a plan to escape the hospital.
Beth sneaks into Dawn's office and finds a deceased Joan behind Dawn's desk, who had committed suicide. She takes the key to the elevator shaft from Dawn's drawer. At this point, Gorman walks in on her and gives her an offer for him to keep a lid on her theft, in return for her to be controlled by him in a sexual context. As he pushes himself against her, Beth takes advantage of Joan's reanimation, and hits Gorman over the head with a glass jar, where he fell to the ground, resulting in Joan eating him. Beth takes his gun and leaves. Noah and Beth sneak down the elevator shaft, and are faced with walkers at the bottom. Beth shoots and kills all of these walkers and heads outside, to which she has to face many more. She kills and pushes enough of them out of the way in order to escape. As she runs, She is taken down by an officer. Only Noah got away. Beth is beaten by Dawn as punishment, and also because she told Dawn that nobody is coming to rescue them, which angers her. Sometime later, Edwards tends to her injuries. Beth confronts Edwards over Trevitt. She says that she knew that Edwards knew what he was doing, and purposely told her to give Trevitt the wrong medicine in order to deliberately kill him because he was also a doctor, and by having him alive, it threatened Edward's position and Dawn wouldn't protect as well as value him any longer. Edwards admits these accusations and replies by telling Beth that he did it to save his life. As Edwards walks out of the room, Beth grabs some scissors and prepares to murder Edwards for his shocking actions. Suddenly, she sees Carol being brought in on a stretcher, which changes her mind, as Carol will need Edwards help in order to survive. Beth looks on, worried and shocked.
"Crossed"
At the hospital, Beth listens into Dawn and O'Donnell's conversation about the patient in exam room 2 (Carol). It is discussed between the two about Carol's fate. Dawn soon makes the decision to switch off the machines that are keeping Carol stable. Beth interrupts and insists that this was a bad thing to do, and it remains unknown to the hospital survivors that Beth and Carol knew each other. After Beth has unsuccessfully tried to talk around the pair, Dawn tells her that she had just killed the patient. Dawn then admits that she was wrong about Beth being weak, then handing her the drug locker key and tells her to get the medicine to save Carol.
Later, Beth heads over to Dr. Steven Edwards office and demands he tells her the suitable medicine for the patient in exam room 2. He stutters and then gives her a straight answer. She hatches a plan which involves having another ex-patient pretend to choke. Whilst officers asist the elderly patient, Beth grabs the meds to then immediately return to Carol's bedside and prepare the drugs, using strawberries as a bribery tool. Beth holds Carol's hand with a worried look on her face, and tells an unconscious Carol: "I just wanted you to know that I was here".
"Coda"
Beth is shown talking with Dawn at the beginning of the episode. Beth asks about Hanson and Dawn explains what happened to him, she tells her that she misses him and says that this is "the part that the stories leave out". Later, Dawn finds her sitting over the elevator shaft. Dawn tells Beth that she knew that she got Gorman and Jeffries killed and claims that she protected Beth by not making this result known to the other officers and wards, although Beth briefly attempts to deny this. Shortly after, a fight breaks out between Dawn and O'Donnell over Dawn's shaky leadership position and Gorman's death, leading Beth to shove him down the elevator shaft to his death after Dawn momentarily distracts him. In Carol's hospital room, Beth tells Dawn that she understands how the hospital works: by everyone using everyone else. Dawn denies this and attempts to build some trust between she and Beth, whom she has dubbed her new ward in Noah's stead.
Before the hostage exchange between the two groups, Beth changes into her old clothes she obtained while with Daryl, and hides a pair of medical scissors inside her arm cast. Rick and the rest of the group arrive at Grady Memorial along with two captive officers, intending to trade them for Beth and Carol. Initially the trade goes off well until Dawn demands that she also receive Noah in payment for losing Beth as her ward. Beth, angered by Dawn's betrayal, hugs Noah before approaching Dawn herself, so that they are face to face. Apparently feeling used and weary of Dawn's true nature, Beth tells Dawn, "I get it now" before stabbing her in the chest with the pair of scissors. The strike, though ineffective, causes Dawn to draw and fire her pistol at Beth's head, killing her instantly, and Daryl retaliates by doing the same to Dawn. The survivors of both sides were able to end the conflict with no further fatalities. Maggie arrives in the aftermath and is brought to hysterics over the sight of her dead sister, cradled in Daryl's arms.
"What Happened and What's Going On"
Beth appears as a hallucination after Tyreese has been bitten. Tyreese looks around to see her singing and playing the guitar with the bullet hole from her death appearing on her forehead. She tells him, "It's okay Tyreese", and comforts him along with the hallucinations of Bob Stookey and Lizzie and Mika, but Tyreese is antagonized by Martin and The Governor, who have also recently died. However, they disappear as the rest of the live group attempt to save Tyreese. At the end of the episode, Beth is seen driving the truck, she turns to face Tyreese again, and delivers the same line, "It's okay, Tyreese", hinting that it is better when you are dead, only this time, Beth does not have the cuts or the bullet hole on her head. She and the other hallucinations then disappear for the final time.
"Forget"
Beth appears briefly as Sasha has a flashback back to Beth's death.

Shortly after the trade between Rick's group and the Grady Memorial survivors, Dawn demands Noah to be returned to her.

Relationships
Hershel Greene
Beth is Hershel's youngest daughter. They have a normal, loving, father-daughter relationship. Hershel is protective of Beth as she is still considered a kid, at the age of sixteen. Hershel always kept Beth out of harm's way for as long as she can remember, even after the outbreak happened, and teaches her to always do good things in life. After Beth tried to commit suicide, Hershel was by her side watching and caring for her. Hershel calls Beth, "Bethy", and is proud of his daughter's singing skills. Despite this good relationship, they have had some problems in the past. Hershel was an alcoholic before the apocalypse, and this affected her. She did not drink alcohol because of this, showing that she has seen the effects of drinking. When Hershel is bitten, amputated and taken back to the cells, Beth starts to cry in Lori's arms at the sight of her unconscious father in "Sick". Beth does not give up on Hershel and still believes he will be okay. Beth starts to make new pants for Hershel and Maggie asks why in which Beth moans at her for sounding as she has given up on their father. When Hershel regains consciousness, he and Beth are seen walking around together, Beth helping Hershel walk and cope with his new disability while Maggie is off with Glenn. Hershel always protects Beth despite his inability to walk normally, such as in episodes "Killer Within" and "Welcome to the Tombs". Sometimes, Hershel would also give medical advice regarding Judith to Beth and Carol. In Season 4, Hershel and Beth had very little interaction due to the flu outbreak surrounding the prison, although when she and Maggie were struggling in the aftermath of the virus, Beth reminded her of Hershel's advice that they all had jobs to do. After Hershel was murdered before her eyes, Beth began to scream and cry, and opened fire on the Governor alongside Maggie. Maggie later calmed her by reminding her of Hershel's advice. After his death, she admit that she missed him and Beth promised herself to keep her father's teaching alive. Annette Greene
Beth loved her mother and immediately hurried to her mother's (seemingly) dead body after the barnyard massacre and started crying. After her mother was put down she went into a deep state of shock. In a bout of hopelessness, she tried to kill herself. Maggie tried her best to stop Beth, by telling her that their mom would not want Beth to do this. Beth then realized that she wanted to live for the sake of Maggie and Hershel. Maggie Greene
Maggie is Beth's older half-sister and she loves her dearly. When they were younger Beth often worried about Maggie when she went to college and did not want Maggie to start dating boys or having sex, one reason why she threw Maggie's birth control pills into their duck pond. When Beth wanted to commit suicide, Maggie told her that their mother would be ashamed if she were to know that she raised such a coward. Beth cared about her sister as she wanted Maggie to know the peacefulness of killing herself. Maggie is by her side when Beth changes her mind about killing herself. Months later, in the prison, Beth is seen together with Maggie throughout the episode where Hershel is unconscious. Beth is hopeful when it comes to her father's situation, compared to Maggie who gives up hope for Hershel when he is unconscious. They are usually seen hugging and holding hands when together. Whenever Maggie is depressed, Beth, Hershel or Glenn are usually the ones who comforted her. Beth would go to great extent to keep her sister safe. This is seen in "When the Dead Come Knocking" when she immediately wants to go on a rescue mission to get Maggie and Glenn back from Woodbury. Despite having made a promise to Lori to take care of Judith, Beth ends up the one who takes care of Judith the most. By spending most of her time with Judith, Beth was able to teach Maggie a few tricks about nurturing Judith. Maggie always looks out for Beth and will always protect her, even if it means her death. In Season 4, Beth is somewhat emotionally distant from everyone, including her family, but Beth attempts to keep Maggie stable during her tough time when the flu out-broke. Beth and Maggie are both devastated when their father is killed by the Governor, and Maggie attempted to calm Beth down by reminding her of their father's words. After The Governor's attack on the prison, Maggie and Beth are separated and even though it is obvious that Maggie is worried about Beth, she doesn't show it and instead focuses on finding Glenn. However, when everyone, except Beth, Carol, Tyreese and Judith, is trapped in Terminus, Maggie asks Daryl about Beth and he tells her that she was taken away in a black car with a white cross on it. In "Coda", Michonne tells Maggie that Beth is still alive and she is overjoyed. However, this is short-lived... Later, when the rest of the group come to help get Beth back, it's too late. After seeing Beth's dead body in Daryl's arm, Maggie breaks down into tears in Glenn's arms and shouts "BETH! NO! NO!". Shawn Greene
Beth and Shawn had a loving relationship. She cared for her brother since when he was killed in the barn shootout, she was crying but did not run to her brother's corpse. Shawn was also Beth's only "playmate" when Maggie went to college. Beth also mentioned that Shawn was very protective of her. Jimmy
Jimmy was Beth's high school boyfriend for 3 months. The couple were usually seen together and it was obvious that they cared deeply for one another. However, Beth showed some frustration when saying "We went out for three months and now I'm married to him?" hinting their relationship might not have been as solid as first thought. Still, Beth is visibly devastated when she finds out that Jimmy died from a walker attack and starts to cry in her father and sister's arms. Patricia
Beth and Patricia were best friends. They spent much of their time talking or working around the farm together, playing checkers, and doing general chores together. When the farm got attacked, Patricia was holding Beth's hand while running towards the truck. When Patricia was snagged by a walker, Beth refused to let go of Patricia's hand. It took Lori to separate the two, leaving Patricia to die. Glenn Rhee
Glenn cares for Beth due to her youth and the fact that she means the world to Maggie and Hershel. Before they arrived at the prison, it is presumed that they started caring deeply for one another like siblings. Glenn is Beth's brother-in-law, after he and Maggie got married between Season 3 and 4. Glenn and Beth share no interactions in Seasons 4 & 5. When seeing Beth's dead body being carried out of the hospital by Daryl, he becomes upset, but more upset for Maggie as he tries to comfort her. Rick Grimes
At first, Beth seems shy around him, even addressing him by "Mr. Grimes", but as times goes on she develop a friendship, as well as trust and respect for him, as he has saved her family members multiple times. She also calls Rick by his name after spending months together with him. When he returns at the prison with Maggie, Beth sweetly hugs Rick and gives him a kiss on the cheek to thank him for what he did for her sister, which seems to slightly surprise him. Later as Rick walks in, she gives him Judith, and she comments that she has her mother's eyes. Rick doesn't let Beth do dangerous activities, unless he had to. Rick often leaves Beth in charge of taking care of Judith and Carl, which she happily accepts. Throughout their stay at the prison, they develop mutual respect for each other, and Rick cares about her a great deal. During flashbacks in the episode "A", Rick and Beth are interacting more and Beth is looking after Judith more regularly as Rick starts to farm. Later on they are seen joking with each other as Rick gives her his sheriff hat, telling Carl and Hershel there's a new sheriff in town. Rick ends up saving Beth from the hospital. They hug when they meet again. Beth intervenes when Dawn demands Noah back, which leads to her being shot in the head by Dawn. Rick is clearly devastated by her death and is seen in tears looking down at Beth's lifeless body as it lay on the floor and when Daryl is carrying her body away from the hospital. Lori Grimes
Lori displays a maternal protectiveness towards Beth and is often seen comforting her. When Beth comes out of her catatonic state she is nursed by Lori, who makes sure she has food and exercise and offers empathy for the loss of Beth's mother (who as a walker was killed outside the barn after attacking Beth). Lori could not support letting Beth commit suicide and argued heatedly with Andrea over this. When the group evacuate the farm after it is overrun with walkers, Beth winds up escaping together with Lori and T-Dog. After months of traveling together, they became even closer. Beth also shows concern about Lori's pregnancy, she shows she is supportive and even informed Lori that the Prison is safe for the baby to be born. When Beth saw her father lying on the bed unconsciously Lori hugged Beth and told her that he's going to be alright. Beth also told Carl not to disrespect Lori when Carl yelled at Lori. After Lori's death, Beth looked out for Judith becoming her main caregiver. Carl Grimes
Beth is Carl's closest friend. They are seen together numerous times. It has been hinted that Carl has a small crush on Beth, despite the fact that she is four years older than him. This is seen in the episode "Seed", when Carl tries to put his belongings on the top bunk bed in Beth's cell. Hershel, observing this, asks him if he was looking for something. Carl stutters "no" and lies that he was just making sure Beth was settled. Afterwards, Hershel gives Beth a knowing look and she rolls her eyes. It would appear that she is entertained to the idea, as she and Carl share in a few private looks while the others aren't looking. Sometimes, Beth acts as an older sister to Carl, such as telling him to be polite to his mother, and consoling him as he cries over Lori's death. In "Made to Suffer", after Axel flirts with Beth, Carl appears jealous and angry. Whenever Beth tries to reload or put a gun together, Carl is always seen instructing her. Carl usually watches Beth do her chores or taking care of Judith. In the episode "Home", when The Governor attacks the prison, Carl keeps Beth close to him at all times while the others repel The Governor's forces. Carl is always seen guarding Beth whenever both of them are actively present at dangerous activities, such as when The Governor attacks the prison the second time. She and Judith are Carl's priority to protect as they are physically the weakest of the group. Carl's reaction to Beth's death is neither seen nor explored. However, Carl's moodiness during the next couple of episodes might be due to it. Judith Grimes
Beth is very attached to Judith; she is always seen holding and nurturing her. She gets along very well with Judith, in contrast to Rick, who, at first, made her cry every time he held her. After Judith's birth, Beth is usually seen preparing formula or boiling milk for Judith. Sometimes later, Beth admit to Carol that she always wanted a child of her own. After being informed that The Governor is planning to attack the Prison, Beth becomes concerned about Judith's safety and feels that the group should flee before they attack. Beth is skillful when it comes to nursing Judith, as she instructed her sister to hold and give her food when Maggie takes Judith away from Beth for a short time. Beth is very protective of Judith and would do anything to keep her alive and to honor Lori. Beth willingly goes into isolation with Judith to take care of her due to the flu. Beth plans to take Judith and the other children on a bus fleeing the prison, but becomes separated from everyone in the melee. Beth does not reunite with Judith in the end due to Beth's death one season later. Daryl Dixon
Because of Beth's shyness and Daryl's quiet nature, Daryl and Beth are not seen interacting very much until Season 4. Daryl acknowledges Beth's ability to handle Judith and Carl. Beth was angered and confused when Daryl left the group and felt that they are weak without him. Carol told her that this world needs more men like Daryl, who has his own code. After spending months with him, they became even closer and Daryl thought of her as his own family. After the fall of the prison, Daryl and Beth are separated from the rest of the group. Withdrawn and dealing with his own emotions eternally, Daryl says little to Beth during their first few days alone. She eventually gets him to release his anguish and guilt over what happened at the prison, and she slowly draws him out of the darkness he has allowed to take over him. Daryl and Beth became closer and since then, Daryl is a lot more open to Beth about his feelings. After Beth goes missing in "Alone", Daryl feels overwhelmingly guilty that he was unable to protect her. When Rick and the hospital survivors trade Beth for Shepherd, Daryl is briefly shown to be eager to get Beth back with the group and out of the hospital. He gets alarmed when Beth shouts "Wait!" and nervous as to what she was doing. After Beth is killed by Dawn, Daryl shoots and kills Dawn without a moments hesitation, after killing Dawn, Daryl breaks down into tears over Beth's death, carrying her body away from the hospital. Daryl goes into a depression over Beth's death. When the group is on the road shortly after, Daryl goes into the woods and starts to burn himself with a cigarrete. Eventually, he recovers, but never forgets her. Merle Dixon
Beth and Merle rarely interacted, but at first, Beth was not thrilled being around with Merle in the prison. This was especially shown when Daryl left with Merle after Rick refused to let Merle come to the prison and Daryl, leaving with Merle for a short time before coming back to the prison and saving Rick. When Merle wanted to go after The Governor while Rick was at the meeting with him and Glenn refused, Merle started a fight with Glenn and everyone had to jump in to try to break up the fight before Beth had no choice but to fire her .38 Colt Detective Special revolver in the air to stop the fight. Carol Peletier
Beth is seen being kind and friendly to Carol. When Hershel's life hangs in the balance after he is bitten by a walker, Beth seems highly confident in Carol's ability to save her father's life. Carol seems to be developing a bond with Beth, similar to that of a mother and daughter, as evidenced by her intervening during the incident between Beth and Axel in "Made to Suffer", in which Axel began to flirt with Beth. The two of them are the primary caregivers of Judith, as Carol is experienced in taking care of children and Beth loves taking care of Judith. In "The Suicide King", while Carol is doing laundry, Beth comes up to her with Judith and they talk about Daryl leaving. The two have bonded and now can talk about almost anything together. In "I Ain't a Judas" Carol glances at Beth as she is singing, making Beth feel more comfortable further suggesting they have a close relationship. When Beth is killing walkers in "Welcome to the Tombs", Carol was by her side, protectively holding Beth close to her. After the war is over and the new residents from Woodbury arrive at the prison, Carol and Beth came out of their hiding place, holding hands. In Season 5, Beth saves Carol after she is hit by a car by giving her the suitable medicine in order to survive. Carol immediately reacts to Beth's death; showing how much she cared for Beth's welfare. Her eyes flood with tears. Andrea
Andrea and Beth do not interact much, but after Andrea kills Annette with a scythe through her head, Beth began to have depressing thoughts, and eventually falls unconscious and tries to kill herself. Andrea argued heatedly with Lori about Beth's decision to kill herself. She supports Beth's decision because she believes that Beth should have the freedom to do whatever she wants. Andrea tries to encourage Beth about her decision and when Maggie finds out, she forbids Andrea to go anywhere near Beth again. But in the episode "Beside the Dying Fire", Andrea and Beth are seen sitting together on a sofa at the beginning of the episode. Presumably, Andrea has made up with Beth. Axel
Beth and Axel are first seen interacting in "Made to Suffer" when she is caring for the baby. When he begins flirting with her, Carol interjects and tells him to stay away from her. He exclaims that there are no women left since, "Maggie is with Glenn, and you're a lesbian." They are later seen assisting Tyreese's group when they step outside the prison to bury Donna. Michonne
Although Beth and Michonne shared little interactions, it is assumed that they had a good friendship. Beth is first seen interacting with Michonne when Michonne was going to escort Rick, Daryl, and Oscar to Woodbury. At first, Beth seemed uncomfortable talking to her, but as time goes on, they became friends. Beth comforted Michonne while treating Michonne's injured foot from falling and fending off walkers, and they spoke about loss in the new world. It is assumed that Michonne was very sad about the loss of Beth and what she meant to many members of the group, even though her reaction was vague and unclear. Tyreese Williams
Beth and Tyreese interacted very little, however, the two seem to be on good terms with each other. It seems that Tyreese is appreciative of Beth when she and Axel handed the equipment to his group in order to bury Donna. In season 5, Tyreese appears to care about Beth and what she means to the group as he comes to help the group get her back after her abduction. Beth's death is witnessed by Tyreese as he watches her get shot in the head, and is clearly upset that she died. He ultimately feels bad, along with the rest of the group, that he couldn't do more to prevent her death. When Tyreese is dying, he sees Beth as a hallucination, and she tells him that everything is going to be okay and that it's better when you are dead. Sasha Williams
Sasha and Beth interacted very little but Sasha was very grateful when Beth and Axel brought shovels to Sasha and her group to bury Donna, Sasha then later complimented Beth by telling her she is very good with the baby. Beth, like everyone else seemed to disagree with Rick's choice to kick Sasha and the rest of her group out the prison. After Sasha rejoins the prison group, she gives Beth a warm greeting. After the group finds out Beth is alive and being held at Grady Memorial Hospital, Sasha was part of the group to get her back. After Beth is shot by Dawn, Sasha can be seen with tears in her eyes, clearly saddened. When the group attends Deanna's welcoming party at Alexandria, Sasha begins to feel nervous and starts to see horrible things she has encountered in the past. Beth's death being among them. Zach
Beth and Zach were barely seen together, but they were boyfriend and girlfriend. They seemed to have been together long enough for Beth to feel comfortable teasing him and bantering with him before he went on a supply run with others in the group. Beth seemed to not care after receiving the news about his death, but explained that she was just happy she got to know him and doesn't cry over death anymore. Dawn Lerner
Beth and Dawn are shown to have a strained relationship, the two of them not trusting each other. Dawn tells Beth she "owes them" because they saved her, though this seems to be something that all new arrivals are told. Dawn also considers Beth to be weak because of the scars on her wrists from her suicide attempt. When Steven Edwards tells Dawn that Gavin Trevitt cannot be saved, Dawn angrily responds by slapping Beth on the cheek, causing her suture to reopen. After Trevitt died due to Beth accidentally administering the wrong drug, Noah takes the blame but Dawn knew Beth was the cause. She tells Beth that she is doing everything for the greater good and Beth isn't the greater good. After Beth is subdued by an officer when attempting to escape the hospital with Noah, she is brought to Dawn's office. Beth tells her nobody will come to save them, so everything Dawn is doing is useless. Dawn looks at a picture of her and Hanson, who she "dealt with" for the greater good before knocking Beth unconscious. The two seem to become closer in the next two episodes they share together. However, after Dawn shoots and kills Beth by accident (presumably), she is shocked and claimed that "she didn't mean to" before getting shot and killed herself by a distraught Daryl Dixon. Steven Edwards
Edwards is one of only two people (the other being Noah who are friendly to Beth at the hospital. They seem to have a good relationship, with him taking her on as an assistant (presumably to keep her away from Gorman). He is willing to share his food with Beth after she worries that eating will elongate her stay at the hospital, and treats her well during her time at the hospital; even going as far as to threaten Gorman in order to protect both Beth and fellow patient Joan. Despite this good relationship, Edwards manipulates Beth into killing Gavin Trevitt for him. Noah
Noah and Beth immediately had a close relationship upon meeting. After Beth looked down, Noah snuck a lollipop into her newly washed laundry. After Gavin Trevitt is accidently killed, Noah takes the fall for Beth, and is punished by Dawn Lerner. After, the two exist the hospital, Beth sacrifices herself to let Noah (who she has not known for long) escape alive, and after Noah gets out her gates he looks in disappointment as Beth is taken down by the officers. Noah is extremely saddened after Beth was killed. He is shown to be shocked in the scene immediately after her death. Gorman
Gorman took a liking to Beth when she first arrived and constantly sexually harassed her. Once, when they ended up in a room alone together, he forced her to eat a lollipop to show his dominance. Beth simply ignored the police officer until Gorman forced himself upon her, subtly asking her for sex as a favor in return for not telling Dawn about Beth sneaking around in her office. Beth, going along with it, surprised Gorman by bashing him in the head and leaving him to be eaten by an undead Joan. O'Donnell
Beth and O'Donnell are shown to disapprove of each other during the short amount of time they spent together. He caught Beth and stopped her from escaping the hospital in "Slabtown". Later, the two argue over the fate of Carol as O'Donnell attempts to get Dawn to order Edwards to turn off the machines keeping her alive, angering Beth. In "Coda", O'Donnell suggests to Dawn that she should get rid off Beth, much to her annoyance, but Dawn refuses. Soon after, Dawn orders Beth to push O'Donnell down the elevator shaft after a brief fight between the two, to which Beth does not hesitate. |
