She is seen emotionally supporting The Wives before and after their rapes, assuring them not to be ashamed of themselves or of what Joe does to them. [1] She is present when Furiosa takes the wives to the War Rig. The wives beg her to come with them, but she stays behind with a gun in preparation for Joe's discovery of their escape.[2]
