Season 2

"The Long Dark: Part II"

After a recruitment drive manned by Nathan Coleman, Piper is one of several citizens to enlist with the Peacekeepers along with Malcolm Brooks, Eugene Collins, Amanda Cahill and Will Fisher. Later, Piper can be seen celebrating with the rest of her unit following the coronation ceremony.

"In the Mouth of Madness"

Piper is among the Monrovian convoy led by Marcus Baczek to accompany Max Rutherford and Unit 2-15 to Canada. A short time later, she and the others are seen boarding the boat.

Three weeks later, Piper and the rest of her unit are called on to head out on the initial survey of the Hudson Bay Boathouse. After Max and Unit 2-15 engage a small horde of Red-Eyes, Piper and the others assist in the battle until the area is cleared. She watches as the rest of the unit discusses how to approach finding the Canadian Border Zone installation. Afterwards, she remains at the Boathouse to help set up defenses in preparation for further attacks.

"The Beyond"

As Francis and Winton arrive back at the Boathouse, Piper is seen working on a set of palisade walls with Malcolm. A short time later, Piper attends a meeting hosted by Francis going over what happened on the initial survey, as well as Baczek going missing in the mines. When asked for volunteers, Piper is among those who agree to go.

That day, Piper accompanies the group to the mines, where she and the others explore and investigate the first checkpoint. After taking the elevator down to the next checkpoint, she is among those who overhears a group of Millers beating on Baczek. When the lift opens, she aids in killing several of them. After the rest of the group decides to explore the rest of the mines to recover the video footage from the survey team, Piper is left behind with the rest of her unit and Duke to secure the area, and rig the entire mine to explode.

A while later, Piper is seen when Francis returns with the real Marcus Baczek and the rest of his team. She flees with the others, and is seen in the background as Duke detonates the explosive devices, sealing the mine for good. Afterward, she returns to the CBZ Installation with the others. A few days later, Piper attends the mine excursions debriefing.

"Epsilon Station"

Piper is among the Monrovians to attend Jared's impromptu meeting in regards to Epsilon Station. She listens as Marvin and the others explain the situation at hand, and volunteers herself to go along on the operation. When a vote is called by Jared on the means to go, Piper votes for Option C with her superior officer, Baczek. A short time later, Piper is seen with the rest of her unit, as well as Max, Jared and Chosovi's respective groups departing the station.

A few hours later, Piper is seen with Missy when the convoy is caught in the middle of the hectic storm on the way to Epsilon Station. She manages to survive the conditions, reaching the campsite with the others. When Mike, one of Jared's men are reported as missing, Piper is among those to overhear a landmine exploding some distance away. The group figures him for dead and descends into the sewer system below the campsite, journeying through the darkness to the caves below.

She accompanies Max, Francis, Baczek, Jared and Chosovi to the airlock of the facility, and is seen in the background with Missy as Greg overrides control panel with the device loaned to them by Marvin. A short time after making initial entry into the main lobby, Piper is among the few to volunteer herself for the investigation, while the rest of her unit remained to help set up defenses. Throughout that night, Piper is seen accompanying Missy and Baczek, aiding with the investigation.

After the Investigation Team prepares to ascend into the Reactor, Piper expresses concern as to the arrival of the Miller's and the apparent deaths of The Crows following a hectic message from the airlock group (along with a few others) and agrees with the suggestion to send someone back to reinforce the airlock group. After Duke is volunteered and circles back, Piper accompanies the other and aids with the interrogation of a surviving member of Epsilon Station's security team, Franco Joy, and restoring power to the facilities main systems. When the group circles back around, Franco reveals there are a number of civilians still alive in the Climate Labs, and that he had come here to open up a means of escape for them, but being as injured as he is, he asks them to do it for him and gives them his ID Badge and security card. The group agrees out of self-interest in continuing their investigation and helps him back to the airlock group.

Piper is seen in the background with her unit as Francis and Baczek fill in Jared on what's occurred thus far. When the group decides to go into the Climate Labs, she again volunteers and accompanies them. She is forced to engage a pack of dogmen, where she and her unit are successful in dispatching them. When Francis and the others discover Mark Bellman, a surviving researcher who let the rest of the civilians die, Piper catches a glimpse of a monster, Dr. Adamson, who was previously encountered by Francis and Baczek. She rushes and warns Francis, and the group are able to save the doctor, locking it in the depressurization room and fleeing back the elevator. When the group returns to the main concourse, they discover that Jared's men have been completely overwhelmed by the Miller's. She is seen watching on in the background after Duke is found seemingly dead.

When the group moves forward to the Ob. Labs, Piper is seen covering the rear with Missy. The pair witness Max kill another surviving researcher, Dr Vernon Porter, who was in a psychotic state. A short while later, Piper is seen in the makeshift triage center in the Ob. Post with the others. She agrees to go with the unit into the main shaft and departs when Francis soon awakens. When the group confronts Catherine, Piper covers the elevator, fearing for the arrival of the Millers who were alerted by her use of "The Man in Red"'s name. When Carl and his group arrive, she is among the defensive line and is ultimately forced to engage when Carl sends his new weapon, Nyx, after them. Piper and the other manage to buy Demi McIntosh enough time to get into the main shaft with Marvin's device, and manage to seal the doors before the monster is able to reach them.

She is among the group to witness Nyx unintentionally destroy the specimen tank containing Yen-Khae Lange, who was recovered by Catherine Bowen in Valley Station, Kentucky. Piper follows the group moving in to investigate the signs of life from Yen-Khae, but is shocked when the woman is propelled onto the platform by a strange mutation sprouting from her back. When Francis deploys Dwight's "WMD", a specialized grenade, and seemingly kills Yen-Khae with it, she retreats. A few minutes later, Piper is among those to witness the completed mutation, Hypnos, resurface, where she is forced to engage it with the rest of her team. During the battle, Piper is attacked and critically wounded by another creature who was freed from containment by Hypnos. Still barely clinging to life at the left-side of the main shaft, Piper witnesses Hypnos closing in on her, where she is suddenly taken, killed and fed on.

At the end of the battle, Piper's remains were dropped from the ceiling onto Missy. Some time later, Piper's body was seen sliding off the platform and into a chasm when the unknown monster tore through the labs. It can be assumed she was unable to reanimate as Epsilon Station was blown up, meaning her remains were likely incinerated.
