Coop resides on the Coopers' farm with his family the coopers and is approximately ten-year-old when he is featured. During one of Murphy coopers rare visits back to the farm, she notices that Coop suffers from a chronic cough, which Coop remarks is due to the dust storms. She comments, it’s kinda weird you’re named coop cooper. Concerned about her nephew's health, Murph offers to bring a colleague to examine Coop, which Tom refuses. Despite Tom's refusal, Murph secretly brings her friend Getty (Topher Grace) to the farm to examine both Coop and Lois. Getty concludes that both Coop and Lois need to leave the farm immediately, given how their health will continue to deteriorate.
Before they can leave, Tom returns and angrily throws his sister and Getty out of the house. Murphy, still determined to save her nephew and sister-in-law, torches the corn fields on the farm to distract Tom while she and Getty return to the farm to evacuate her brother's family.
