Throughout the Series

 * -|Season One =

In Inclement Weather, Miller makes his first appearance, being released after being in surgery for the injury sustained from battle. Maya gives him a bottle of pills, and Clarke welcomes him back to which he gives her a polite nod. He makes a comment afterwords though, alluding to her behavior since getting out of her room, to which Clarke gawks at Maya. Miller is later seen reading a book in his bottom bunk as Clarke talks to Jasper about her suspicion with Mount Weather. Jasper remarks her behavior as "crazy" and asks her what they might do to her if she keeps up her act, and Miller chimes in, deadpanning that she would be kicked out. Afterwords, Clarke slumps in her seat in the mess hall, as she watches over her friends enjoying their stay, including Miller who beats another at arm wrestling. At the end of the episode, Miller's father is introduced and asks Bellamy to find his son, which marks the first time Miller is acknowledged by full name in the series, and Bellamy promises to do so.

In Fog of War, Miller is at the bunks with the rest of the delinquents, giving Jasper their attention. He is trying to convince everyone to volunteer for the blood transfusion for the Mountain Men, but Miller refuses, and Harper, Monty, and the others follow. Later, they relent, albeit off screen, and Miller is shown to be one of them. Him, along with Jasper, Monty and Harper gather and Jasper states that they need to buy Clarke some time to come rescue them.

In Long Into an Abyss, Miller and the others are unhappy since the blood transfusion and Jasper states that them cooperating is good because it buys them some time. Miller, however, is unimpressed and states that if they're going to die, it might as well be by trying to escape to which the others agree. Jasper continues to try to maintain hope that Clarke will save them, however, but Monty tells him that Clarke may not have even escaped and she may be dead. Harper insists they try to escape, but Jasper says instead, they should find the truth.

Later on, Miller is standing watch as Monty attempts to get Dante's office door open. He seems anxious though, and Jasper tells him to relax as Maya is helping them to which Miller doesn't seem convinced of. When Monty finally gets the door open, the group make their way inside. Miller attempts to get the drawers open as Monty attempts to hack into the computer. After some time, Miller finds something in one of the drawers and at the same time, Monty finds surveillance photos of Camp Jaha. This surprises the others as they were told there were no survivors.

Later, Miller and Monty are at the bunks, looking at the papers Miller found. He states that if Alpha Station is on the ground, other stations may be as well. At this, Monty mentions that Miller was from Alpha Station and Miller informs him that his father was chief guard. He then makes a sarcastic comment that his father loved having a thief for a kid. Monty assures him that he's a great thief though, to which Miller softly chuckles. Jasper enters the dormitories after that, asking where Harper is, but neither have seen her.

In Remember Me, Miller is playing a card game with Monty when Jasper and Maya arrive and join them. They gather to discuss the possible whereabouts of Harper, but Miller makes snide comments at Maya, and Jasper rushes to defend her and inform him that she's on their side, but Miller isn't convinced. During this, Monty inspects the base's map, and informs them that they need to get to the wires that run into the antenna on the ground so that they can broadcast a message to the Ark survivors, and then tells them what they need.

Later, they get to the art warehouse and Miller has another dispute with Maya and Jasper when she tells him that the Mountain Men will hear if he pounds the wall with the hammer. She counts down to five and an alarm echoes through the base. This enables him to bash a whole in the wall, and Monty begins work. He attempts to get their message to send, but he's having issues unjamming the frequency. Maya returns then to warn them that a guard is coming, and they flee. Later, Jasper and Maya meet up with Miller at the dormitories and ask where Monty is, but Miller claims that he thought he was with them. They realize what's happened then, and Miller appears to be upset by this news.

In Coup de Grâce, Miller is seen standing in the dormitories with the other delinquents as Jasper and Monty alert them that they are leaving. They begin to pack up when an alarm sounds suddenly blares and the doors slam shut, locking them inside.

In Rubicon, Miller are awaiting news after being locked up for hours. Jasper tells them that Bellamy is there, but the others are skeptical. Suddenly, Dr. Tsing enters the room with guards and take one of the kids away. He glares at her as she tells them that they are no longer leaving as Dante is no longer in charge. He attempts to stick with the others when they return for another, but the guards get physical and drag her off anyway.

Later, he stands alongside the other delinquents as they link arms, but again, they break them apart and begin to drag Monty away. During this, they attempt to fight back against the guards. They don't fair too well, however, and are beaten down. They trade Monty for Jasper, and walk off. However, a radiation leak is exposed, thanks to Bellamy. This causes the Mount Weather guards to fall to the ground, weak and in pain. The delinquents are able to be free as a result, and take the guards' guns as they die. Dr. Tsing attempts to escape via the elevator, but Jasper stops its doors before they close and he, Harper, Monty and Miller stand in the doorway, and ignore her cry as they watch her die.

In Resurrection, the delinquents have moved to the mess hall, and Miller and some of the others begin to barricade the main doors. Things are slow for a bit when they finish though, awaiting an attack. The delinquents get into their positions, and prepare for a fight. Miller is armed with a cleaver, and he tells Harper to be careful as she has a gun because she could hit one of them. After this, the guards bust the doors open and then throw gas grenades into the hall. When the guards take down the barricade a few moments later, they walk in and find the delinquents on the ground, presumably unconscious. It is revealed the grenades were tossed into buckets of water, and they are faking it. Jasper initiates the attack, and the delinquents jump up from their positions and fight back. Miller is seen in the attack a guardsman with a post. After they retreat, Fox screams for Jasper as she is dragged away by a few guards. Jasper attempts to run after her, but Miller restrains him and calms him down, telling him that she'll be okay, though he is still visible upset.

Later, Miller informs Jasper that they are going to attack harder next time and states that they need more than a few guns and a few buckets of water to fight back and wait for Bellamy to rescue them. After Maya is set up to be killed if the delinquents don't surrender, Miller surrounds her with Jasper and Monty. Monty states he's going to fix the entrance to the trash shoot and Jasper tells Miller to help. He calls for Harper to join them and then follows. He watches as Monty tries to fix it, but when Monty gets impatient, he asks Miller to help him force it open. It is then when a force is heard on the other side and they all jump back, only to find it's Bellamy. He, Maya and Jasper go down the shoot and Maya is rescued. It is revealed towards the end of the episode that the delinquents escaped through the trash shoot. Miller comments that they're all just sitting ducks walking around in a group and Bellamy tells him that they're going to split up. When he makes a comment that Maya can't help them anymore, he asks who's going to help them now. Bellamy states, "They are." He leads them to acquaintances of Maya's family that don't agree with Cage. Maya's father motions for them to come, and tells them that they are going to be divided along the way. Miller follows immediately.

In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 1), Miller is seen in captivity with Jasper, Maya and Fox, their hands restrained in handcuffs as they are forced to follow one of the Mount Weather guards, Paul. Vincent, however, steps in the way and refuses to let them take Maya despite Maya's pleas. Miller looks over at Maya with remorse when Paul pulls out his gun to shoot Vincent, but Bellamy shoots Paul from inside the ventilation, killing him, and the other guard that was following behind rushes over to get Bellamy when Miller kicks the guard in the back of the leg, knocking him down onto his knees and then wraps his arms around the guard, pulling the handcuffs against his throat, strangling him, before smashing his head against the concrete walls. When Bellamy exits, he asks Miller if he's okay to which he replies, 'Better than him,' gesturing towards the dead guard on the floor as Jasper frees his hands. Bellamy then tells Vincent to get them to the harvest chamber and he, Miller and Fox go as Jasper and Maya join Bellamy to find Monty. It's later revealed the harvest chamber has been cleared, the grounders freed as part of the deal Mount Weather made with Lexa and the delinquents captured.

In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 2), Miller is handcuffed to the wall when the Mount Weather guards bring in more Camp Jaha residents, his dad included. When he's revealed, Miller is shocked to see him. His dad is relieved to finally be reunited with him, but he is struck in the back of the head when he tries to run to him. This enrages Miller, who shouts at the guards from where he's restrained, tugging at the handcuffs above him, trying to be freed. Later, after the Mount Weather civilians are killed, the Millers are freed and are finally reunited. They smile as they take in the moment and then embrace. At the end of the episode, when the Sky People arrive home at Camp Jaha, Miller is seen walking side-by-side with David, his father's jacket around him.
