Many months after the invasion John Pope came across her camp. He found her supply of gas and was about to take it when she opened fire with her shotgun. After a short conversation Pope felt she wouldn't kill him and continued trying to get the gas when she invited him inside for beer. Inside she deceived Pope by drugging him and tying him to a chair. She was about to leave him there when some Mega Mechs found her camp, Pope told her he was her only chance at defeating them and convinced her to let him go. With his help she managed to escape the Mega Mechs. When she tried to force him out with her shotgun he revealed that he slipped the shells out of the shotgun. He made her get out, which made her ask if he was really going to leave her out her to fend for herself. Pope was about to when he realized she had been flirting with him the whole time and let her in. Back at the camp when Hal Mason was yelling at Pope for leaving camp the way he did, Sara came to his defense. Hal calmed down and thanked Pope and Sara for bringing them the fuel.

After Hal, Dingaan, Tector and Shaq fail to capture a Mega-Mech, Pope drives his pickup truck, with Sara inside into the back of the Mega-Mech, causing it to falls backwards onto the ground. She then remarks that they crushed the Mech like a cheap beer can.

Sara helps Pope fill up the barrels with oil, however she asks him if he would rather get in a car and escape from Chinatown and the Espheni, however Pope denies and tells her to pour the oil in. She mentions that there is a fallout shelter below Chinatown, but Pope tells her that killing Skitters will be fun. Late that night, she light the barrels, which fills up the street with smoke, limiting the Espheni troops sight. She is later saved by Tector, when he kills the Skitter that tries attacking her. When Pope notices the gas leak, she runs and survives the explosion however, she falls apart when reality hits her that everyone is dead. She later hides in the fallout shelter with the last survivors.

"Til Death Do Us Part"[]

Soon after she bandages it up and takes some pain medication. She and Pope argue about her narcotics addiction, Pope thinking that Sara is taking vicodin, however she reveals that she is only taking aspirin, as the labels were mixed up. She later leaves Chinatown and the 2nd Mass, taking a ration of food and ammo with her.

When they arrive, Sara shoots the bomb that they planted, destroying the escape pod and killing all of the skitters. Sara joins the mission to find the Overlord at the high school.

"Hunger Pains"[]

After the food is destroyed in Chinatown, Ben manages to find some tins of food that survived the blast and Weaver discovers they were made in a factory located not far from where they are holed up so they hatch a plan for Pope, Sara, Ben and Maggie to head out and try to scavenge as much food as they can.

Before heading out, Pope and Sara discuss a possible food source in skitters. They decide to roast a skitter leg over the fire, and before they can test it out on a animal Russell cuts off a piece and eats it. Russell pretends that the skitter meat is effecting him, and after he eats another piece, he begins to spit it up, bleed internally and his jaws falls off from the effects.

Later, at the factory, they search until they find a supply of food unopened in boxes, and load it up in the back of a working truck. While loading the boxes, Sara speaks to Maggie about the love triangle, before they are locked in the cage. The two are locked in a cage, and Ben and Pope come to their aid but are soon held hostage by a girl, Caitlin. While they try and attempt to let them go, something behind a wooden door tries to emerge, but Ben and Maggie hold it closed, Ben mentioning that it sounds like a skitterized human. Maggie lies to Caitlin to let them go, and they drive back to Chinatown with Caitlin, the skitterized human and the food.

During the night, Pope sets up a dinner with the food they scavenged for Sara on-top a balcony, overlooking Chinatown.

Pope takes Sara on a detour, and during the walk they reminisce on their relationship, and Pope mentions one day that he would like to have kids again, coming to the surprise of Sara, who has yet to be informed that he "had" kids. Pope tells Sara that he thinks the two of them would make beautiful babies. During the walk, Sara is stuck from the leftover fog from the Espheni farm, and is unable to be freed. Pope's idea comes to mind that he needs fire to free her, however when Sara tells Pope to go back to get the flamethrower, Pope is hesitant to leave her. Sara convinces him to do so, mentioning that nothing can get to her as they'll get stuck in the cement.

During the time that Pope is away, the new mutation of bugs swarm Sara's legs and eat the flesh straight to the bone. When Pope arrives back, he lights the bugs up, then comes to Sara's aid. Sara mentions that she cannot feel her legs, and is told not to look down. Pope is with Sara during her last moments, before she passes from the injuries.
