Diana then asked Athena for help as she yelled of being under attack. hearing that Athena then locked down the house, with Karen still outside out fixing the problem from early.

Afterwards, she spotted Diana on the ground as she is looking horrified after the ordeal she witness, followed by being attack by the Robovac.
