== Season 2 ==
River competed in the gymnastic completion the following year, snatching victory in the local competition just as she had done the previous year. In the subsequent interview with Dan Segallos, she admitted that her sister's death caused her to lose the previous year and this it would not happen again. She showed Flower's picture in her locket to the camera and proclaimed that whenever she looked at her picture, it felt as if she were still alive. Watching in Townsville, Sarah Bellum and Elliott Meyer recognized Flower's picture as Blossom.
A few days later, when Sarah and John Utonium arrived impersonating FBI agents in order to speak with the Kubelik family, River, in contrast to her parents Howard and Sunset, became irate upon hearing Utonium suggest that he would have to confiscate River's locket. Howard kindly ordered them to leave. That night, Sarah broke into the house and stole the locket while River was sleeping but the next day, during River's live interview with Dan Segallos, she revealed that Sarah had stolen a fake locket and paraded the real one in front of the camera once again. This footage was viewed by Blossom that very night, causing her to immediately leave for Oregon.
Blossom first went to see Utonium in his hotel room for answers, but he only replied angrily and antagonistically, so she ran to the Kubeliks, where River was the first to see her and embrace her as her returned sister Flower. Utonium and Sarah arrived later in an attempt to take Blossom back, but she refused to go and River angrily refused to let them take her. Detective Sam Woods arrested them both, but they left Oregon on bail that evening.
The following day, River enthusiastically helped her parents prepare breakfast for Blossom. During breakfast, Howard recommended that they tell Tracy Fairburn and Randall Hoffman about Flower's return before she went in public, and River disagreed about telling Randall. Howard explained to Blossom that racy was her friend and Randall was her boyfriend. Later that day, Tracy came over and River came downstairs with Blossom, upon which Tracy fainted. Randall barged in moments later, and refused to accept that Blossom was Flower. River was angered by Randall's presence and was relieved when Woods escorted him out.
