- "It was really hard in the camp when you left, but you know what? I'm actually glad I didn't, I learned so much. We were wrong about everything. You really should've stayed."
- —Mira to Matt before blowing the whistle.[src]

Matt explains to her that this is a re-education camp to brainwash kids into becoming soldiers or spies, and Mira responds by saying like Rolfe from the Sound of Music. Matt tells her to meet him at his dorm, with a few other students at 8pm. During the meeting at the dorm, Matt explains his plan to screw over the guys working for the Espheni, and asks if Mira will join, and she agrees to be part of it.

During the night, Mira hides the wire cutters under an empty bed, and during the morning when Kent walks in demanding for the cutters, Matt takes the fall for her.
"Evolve or Die"[]

"Til Death Do Us Part"[]
Mira finds Tom's group at the chemical plant, and lies to them, saying she is an ally of theirs. When questioned, she mentions that she did what Matt said, and when she graduated she escaped the camp and threw her scout whistle in the river. She is tied up by Tom for protection, but is cut loose by Matt, when she says that the rope is cutting into her hand. When released she blows her whistle, summoning the team leaders to attack, and Matt chases her as she runs. Matt is darted by one of the Team Leader's, and asks Mira to help him, to which she coldly replies "It's too late for that". Mira then runs off into the woods when Daniel Weaver attacks the Team Leaders. While Mira's deception causes the humans to lose the Volm cache, they retrieve her scout whistle which allows them to unearth the Beamer Cochise shot down.
"Shoot the Moon"[]
When Tom and Lexi's Beamer is captured by Scorch's ship, they enter it to find Mira within. Mira tells Tom that the Espheni were aware they hijacked a Beamer and he is confused when she refers to the Espheni as "we" until he notices Mira has been Harnessed and is acting as a mouthpiece for Scorch. Through Mira, Scorch taunts Tom before having Mira approach Lexi to burn her with a glowing stone. When Lexi protests that she's Espheni not human, Mira gives the stone back to Scorch who decides to burn Lexi himself. Before Scorch can do more than burn a small line on Lexi's face, Tom kills him with a Volm poison. Frightened and alone, Mira flees the cockpit and is not seen again. She presumably dies when Lexi pilots Scorch's ship into the Espheni power core and destroys it.
