Mitchell had a big crush on her during his time in high school. Little did he know, she too had quite a fondness for him, even breaking up with one of her past boyfriends so she could wait for Mitchell to ask her out to the prom. After high school, she was married to Ted, but sometime later the two were divorced. Vanderburg was first mentioned when Mitchell posed the idea that they made it to "second base" in an alternate reality. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
