Ray is discovered bound and prepared for sacrifice by the cult's leader, Sean Keanan. As Sean prepares to perform the ritual, Frank West arrives, prompting Sean to attack.
Upon Sean's defeat, Frank frees Ray along with four other survivors: Beth Shrake, Cheryl Jones, Michelle Feltz, and Nathan Crabbe. He then convinces them to follow him back to the Security Room.
Ronald's Appetite[]

After being rescued, Ray waits in the room with the blue door. When Ronald Shiner begins complaining about the lack of food, he rallies the other survivors in the same room, including Ray, to head out in search of food.
If Frank does not stop Ronald's mutiny, Ray will leave the Security Room along with the other survivors in the same room. They will no longer count toward the number of rescued survivors.
