During John and Henri's stay in Paradise, they meet Sam's mother who mistakes Henri's accent for French and attempts to speak to him in that language. His accent was in fact Loric, though the two are very similar. Beth is distraught when Sam disappears, believing that he was kidnapped by John and Henri who are being labelled as terrorists. She sees him in the garden when he returns to investigate Malcolm's Chamber and witnesses the Mogadorian attack in her back yard and fears the worst for Sam's safety.
