In "No North Star", Rick intends to reveal the truth behind their ancestry by talking with her and bringing Helen with him. After the conversation which later turned sour at the end, she sends a man to go kidnap her brother and Helen before assigning him to find any other hybrids. Beth then apologizes for such kidnapping and then explains that she knew all along and wanted to tell Rick for a long time, but due to their mother's death, she couldn't bring herself to tell him. She also explains that their father knew as well and also wanted to tell Rick. She then sets up a gathering where they meet up with other hybrids, young and old.
