Her ultimate goal was to obtain the Crown of Oblivion after it had been broken by the Society Against Evil members Roanoke and Katsumi. She manipulated the guests into the collecting the Gems for her and took the Crown from them once they had unlocked it. However, she lost her powers once the remaining guests freed Riley from the Tree House. She murdered Joey and was subsequently killed by Riley.

Sometime after, her soul was brought to the Museum of the Dead by the Collector and later freed by the now-resurrected Joey.

She sees a picture of The Collector hanging up and calls her a 'pretentious bitch'. Joey points out that she has the exact same thing in her mansion, she says "I know, isn't she a copycat?"

The group must get blood from whoever killed the Mummy, they have a detector to help find out who it is. After everyone was checked apart from the Pharaoh's wife, they discover that the Pharaoh's wife was the one murdered him, despite her denying it at the start.

While the group are searching, The Sorceress goes over to Merlin and asks him how many years he has been chained up here. He says years and years, but it is backwards at least, so he gets younger.
