Biography
Joan is first seen in the church where she was making a cake and having a comparison with Clint's spinach. She began to have a conversation with Javier, who was David's brother, about the winter where they lost a lot of people.

Max was then brought into the church under Clint and brings up his experience with Javier at the junkyard and what happened to Rufus, either Javier kills him or Clementine has a tree fall on his truck. Javier would either demand for justice of Mariana or remain silent. Despite to the choices, Joan would have Javier and all of the people, besides Eleanor, in the quarantine kicked out of Richmond.

David and Javier would then return to Richmond to confront Joan about the raidings on other communities. Joan tries to lie about the situation. If Max is spared, he will expose to the other leaders that she enforced him, Badger, and Lonnie to raid other communities. Other leaders were left in shock, but Joan manages to get them on her side by bringing up the winter and how it helped the New Frontier. If Max is dead, she would be able to cover up the raidings successfully after Lonnie falsely blames David for the situation. David and Javier would then be held captive in a prison. Joan brings David out to "have a talk" with him.

Later on, she would have David hanged publicly in front of the crowd. She quickly notices Javier, Clementine, and Gabe in the crowd. She would then have Javier join her in front of everyone. She would then uncover the people of the New Frontier who were killed and pinning all of the blame on Javier. Ava and Tripp were then sent out to be killed but Joan lets Javier spare one. Whoever Javier picks, they would later on be killed. Clint tries to calm the situation down and handling things peacefully by demanding that Javier and his people should leave. David would then demand Javier to shoot Joan. If Javier shoots Joan, a New Frontier member would kick the stool and have David suffer. If Javier takes Clints deal, Clint would get the noose off of David's neck and hold him hostage. Clint would then free himself from David. Gabe goes to help his father and attack Clint from behind, which then bought David some time to kill Clint. Despite the choices, a battle breaks out and Kate drives the truck into Richmond and crashes into the propane near the wall, which would then have the wall destroyed, leading the walkers into the city.
