==Ambush==
Entering the Yorkes Cabin, Stacey Yorkes immediately found her husband Dale and her daughter Gert. She reassured them that she had managed to temporerily regain control of her body over the Magistrate's Wife, but that she could return at any moment. Stacey warned Dale and Gert about the Gibborim's plan to leave Earth through a platform and kill everybody who knew about their presence on Earth, but before she could reveal to them the best way of defeating them, the Wife retook control of Stacey's body.
Having regained control, the Wife immediately attacked Dale and Gert with her light beams, forcing them to hide behind a couch. Dale was able to retrieve his Synnergy Serum cartridges and put them in the tranquilizing gun Gert had stolen earlier before firing it at the Wife's chest, who remained unaffected. Unable to find something better to do, Dale threw his gun at the Wife, who expressed nothing but contempt and retaliated by throwing a coffee cup at Dale's face. As the Wife attacked Gert, Dale rushed at her, but she punched him in the face, incapacitating him.
Gert attempted to reason with the Wife, but to no avail. However, this bought enough time for Old Lace to break out from the van she had been locked into and attack the Wife from behind. Gert then used her connection with the dinosaur to have her use her head to slam the Wife's head, knocking her unconscious. This enabled Gert to flee with Old Lace using Dale's car, while Dale ran away on foot, moments before the Wife regained consciousness.
==Aftermath==
Gert Yorkes and Old Lace were able to reunite with the other Runaways, enabling them to assist Nico Minoru against the Magistrate at the Stein Mansion. Dale, for his part, returned to the Yorkes Cabin and attempted to live in isolation, but found that he was unable to do so and instead retreated to the Church of Gibborim Executive Office, becoming a member of the new Church of Gibborim.Runaways: 3.06: Merry Meet Again As for the Wife, she returned to her family, discovering that they too had failed to keep the Runaways captive, leading to tension within the family.Runaways: 3.03: Lord of Lies
