Clash of the Titans arc
In the year 850, Connie eventually joins the Survey Corps. That same year, when Titans suddenly appear in southern Wall Rose, Connie makes an unplanned return to his village to make sure the villagers are fine. Once arrived, he worriedly calls out for his family members. Eventually, Connie comes across his old house destroyed by a Titan laying on it.

The Uprising arc
Connie comes back to Ragako and hands Hange a portrait of his parents. Hange notices the common features between Mrs. Springer and the Titan lying on the Springers' house. Connie recalls the Titan spoke to him and Ymir and Reiner's claim it was not possible. Hange then orders to put ropes instead of the stakes that retained Mrs. Springer and gives Connie the portrait back. Acknowledging all was lasting of his family was his mother and the portrait, Connie cries. This discovery, along with the known information about Titans' physiology and Hange's experiences led her to think Titans were humans.
