When Michael, Alex, and Kyle break into Caulfield prison to investigate, Michael finds the captured aliens and recognizes Nora. He tries to break her out of the cell, but he is unable to do so and the facility begins a countdown for destruction to keep the aliens contained. Alex begs Michael to leave but he refuses. Nora places her hand on the glass dividing them, and when Michael touches her hand, they share a psychic connection. She tells Michael that she's his mother and that she loves him and to run. Michael reluctantly does so, and Nora dies in the explosion of Caulfield.[1]
Alex later tries to give Michael her file from Project Shepherd, in which she was designated Subject N-39, but Michael doesn't want it.[2] Michael later goes back to Alex about the file, and Alex tells him that his mother's name was Nora Truman, and that she wasn't captured until over a year after the crash.[3]
