In The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!, it was revealed that Serena called her to help put up a performance for the residents of Lumiose City who were still recovering from the Team Flare incident. She commented to Serena that her idea was a success while performing. The next day, she joined the others in saying goodbye to Grace, Serena's mother. Later, she pulled Tierno's ear, as he was infatuated with Serena.
