She had turned to her life of crime due to Gallagher's uncle taking a mine from her father, Selby Mason. Gallagher would be ignorant of everything as he competes with Aliso Pete for Jem's heart. When he does find out about his uncle's wrongdoings the mine is restored to Jem. Meanwhile, he set up a trap for the bandit finding out that it was Jem. He rushes to her rescue, but get's there too late as the bandit was shot. It turns out that it wasn't Jem, but Aliso who beat Jem to the punch. Jem is saved and Gallagher wins her heart.
