Inside the room of Guilford Gain, Exler alarmingly discovers guns, zip ties, gas masks, and a bomb set to detonate. Exler, Martine, and the maid Eileen Lilas then put together a plan to disarm the bomb and keep the family safe. Once they manage to disarm the bomb however, Exler discovers that this is a Millennium Break operation, and that Guilford and March's other servants are undercover agents. She quickly changes her tune to grab her existing collection of stolen silverware and rare bulbs, and uses a stolen escape pod to leave, with the coordinates taking her to a Millennium Break base. She does end up in a holding cell while they try to figure out what to do with her, but they can tell her heart is in the right place, and she is later seen staying in touch with other members of the Somerset House staff, sending them revolutionary literature.
