She was surprised by the appearance of [[Varis]] and his ability to control [[Data Storm]]s.<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|8|ref}}</ref> Per Zaizen's orders, Ghost Gal went after Varis and Playmaker with a camera to film their Duel. She was intrigued by how Playmaker performed three [[Link Summon]]s to summon "[[Decode Talker (anime)|Decode Talker]]", and was shocked at Varis's power to summon a Data Storm and "[[Topologic Bomber Dragon (anime)|Topologic Bomber Dragon]]".<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

To her surprise, [[ | + | Ghost Gal admitted that she could log out of LINK VRAINS to create a program to enter the Data Storm, but she would not be able to return to the network. To her surprise, [[Kal Kolter|someone]] created a path for her to enter the Data Storm, and Ghost Gal realized that Playmaker had an ally they never knew about. The path allowed her to enter the eye of the Storm, and Ghost Gal watched Varis and Playmaker's Master Duel, with her cameras recording it. She learned about the [[Ignis]], A.I. said to have free will like the one Playmaker held.<ref name="ep11" /> As she watched the Duel, Ghost Gal commented on the situation, and she learned that Playmaker desired revenge for something that had happened to him ten years previously. This intrigued her, hearing the connection with SOL Technologies. When Varis was defeated, Ghost Gal returned to Zaizen, and watched as Playmaker used the virus-removal program he'd won on Blue Angel. Blue Angel disappeared, and Ghost Gal reassured Akira that she had successfully logged out. Playmaker left before Zaizen could thank him, impressing Ghost Gal with his cool attitude. After logging out, Ghost Gal sent an anonymous tip to Zaizen's chauffeur, [[Nathaniel]], to drive Zaizen to the hospital to be with his sister.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|12|ref}}</ref> A few days later Emma ran into [[Café Nom]] and met Kolter, but neither recognized each other as either "Ghost Gal" or "Playmaker's assistant". After ordering a coffee and two chili dogs, she said she was interested in Dueling Playmaker, raising Yusaku's interest. Later she logged into LINK VRAINS and met with [[Frog (character)|Frog]] and [[Pigeon]] regarding a interview they had asked "Ghost Gal" to do for them. She gave them the answers to their questions as well as all the information she had gathered about Playmaker for a very expensive price. The information she gave the two reporters would've allowed them to make a big scoop regarding everything Playmaker has done and vital information about the [[Ignis]], but Yusaku and Kolter deleted the scoop while cleaning files involving Playmaker.<ref name="ep13">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|13|ref}}</ref> |
After her interview, Emma was doing research on Playmaker, recalling his [[Skill]] to obtain monsters from the Data Storm and that ordinary people could not use. She wondered if Playmaker could use it because of his connection with the Data Storm, which she believed to be related to the incident that Varis and Playmaker had discussed. She attempted to find out more by hacking SOL Technologies' data bank with a backdoor program, but a Data Storm protected the database, forcing her to shut down her computer. Emma later spoke with Zaizen about his demotion despite helping save LINK VRAINS; Zaizen replied that he didn't mind as Skye had been healed. Emma noted that Zaizen had been replaced by his former boss, [[Kitamura]], whom Akira believed to be the one making a Duelist army that of A.I. Emma explained that she wanted the Incident Playmaker had been involved in, but as Zaizen knew nothing about it, she'd decided to search on her own by hacking into SOL Technologies' data bank. Zaizen was shocked, but Emma claimed it was just to make connections with them. Zaizen asked her to give the program to him, but Emma replied that she didn't have to, suggesting he pay her. Zaizen refused, so Emma left, suggesting that Playmaker could buy the program. Back at her house, Emma recalled how someone created a path for her to enter the Data Storm during Varis and Playmaker's Master Duel, and she analyzed the program used to create the path and sent a message to its writer offering them the backdoor program if they could defeat her in a Duel.<ref name="ep14">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ghost Gal refused to let him do so, activating her own Skill "Secret Cure" to increase their LP. Despite her efforts, Playmaker Special Summoned "[[Scan Doll]]", and paid 1000 LP to use "Altergeist Protocol" on "Altergeist Silquitos". However, Ghost Gal believed he simply forgot about "Altergeist Kunquery" she still had in her hand. Playmaker used "Storm Access", and Ghost Gal followed him into the Data Storm, but she lost control of her [[Duel Board]] and fell off. To her surprise, Playmaker saved her, reminding her their Duel was not over yet. Outside the Data Storm, Ghost Gal thanked Playmaker, but stated that him saving her had nothing to do with their Duel. Playmaker brought out "[[Excode Talker (anime)|Excode Talker]]", and prevented Ghost Gal from using two of her remaining Monster Zones, thus sealing he effect of "Kunquery" and leaving her open to the direct attacks of "Excode Talker", which defeated her. After the Duel, Ghost Gal watched the moon. Ai stated that it was just data, though Ghost Gal replied dumb A.I.s couldn't understand this feeling. Ghost Gal gave the backdoor program to Playmaker, bid him farewell and departed, but not before deleting the footage of the Duel that Frog and Pigeon had recorded, wishing to keep their Duel a secret.<ref name="ep15"/> |
Later, Ghost Gal revealed to Zaizen that she had given the program to Playmaker. Zaizen was furious, wondering what was Ghost Gal thinking. As a digital butterfly flew near them, Ghost Gal defended herself, reminding Zaizen that he also wanted to know more about the data in the data bank, but that he had no authority after his demotion. Ghost Gal claimed that Kitamura would be held responsible, and would attempt to stop Playmaker, and Zaized realized that if they used Playmaker as a decoy, nobody would notice their activities. After Zaizen logged out, Ghost Gal addressed the digital butterfly as Blue Angel, well aware that Skye had been spying on them, and she offered her a chance to restore her reputation.<ref name="ep16">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

As the Duel continued, Ghost Gal complimented Zaizen for summoning "[[Tindangle Acute Cerberus (anime)|Tindangle Acute Cerberus]]" during Playmaker's turn.

Zaizen was able to prevent him from attacking with "[[Euler's Circuit (anime)|Euler's Circuit]]", and Ghost Gal believed that this would allow Zaizen to fulfill the conditions of "Gergonne's End" and defeat Playmaker.

Emma wondered if Zaizen came here just to tell her that, and Zaizen admitted that despite the victory, [[SOL Technologies]] had been looking for more employees. Zaizen believed that the Knights of Hanoi wouldn't retreat that easily, and noted [[Varis]] was still on the loose. Emma felt that something was going on, and she decided search through LINK VRAINS for a treasure. She promised to sell it to Zaizen, who asked for a discount, and Emma promised to think about it. Ghost Gal logged into LINK VRAINS for her treasure hunt, releasing data fireflies to help her in her search. She found [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker]] and [[Ai]], who had traced her data fireflies. Ghost Gal admitted that she had a tip from someone about something going on in LINK VRAINS, and decided that it was likely true if Playmaker was investigating it as well. Ghost Gal admitted that her data fireflies led her to treasure, and Playmaker warned her that the path ahead was dangerous and advised her to log out. Ghost Gal thought Playmaker would steal her treasure, commenting that the reward would be greater if it was dangerous. The data fireflies led them into a data sewer, leading to a reprocessing plant. Playmaker was surprised Ghost Gal knew about it, and Ghost Gal explained that she was a treasure hunter that visited many virtual worlds. They came to a fork in the path; Ghost Gal's data fireflies passed down the path on the right. Ai suggested that they settle who took which path with a game, which amused Ghost Gal. Ghost Gal told him that whoever chose the "lovelier" card from her Deck could choose the path they took. Ai declared a "[[Destiny Draw]]", only to pick "[[Fake Trap (anime)|Fake Trap]]". Ghost Gal claimed the card was the least lovely in her Deck, and didn't even bother to draw a card.

Some of her fireflies moved to a different area of the plant, and Ghost Gal used a grappling hook to follow them, only to find Varis, who was surprised by her arrival and noted that she was snooping again. Ghost Gal promised to leave but Varis barred the exits. Ghost Gal asked Varis what he planned to do with her after capturing her, suspecting she would be in trouble.

Ghost Gal started strongly in comparison to Shepherd's simple first turn; although she failed to negate the effect of his "[[Drone Corporal]]" with "[[Infinite Impermanence (anime)|Infinite Impermanence]]", the move allowed her to swarm her field with her "[[Altergeist]]" monsters, [[Link Summon]]ing "[[Altergeist Hexstia (anime)|Altergeist Hexstia]]" and [[Synchro Summon]]ing "[[Altergeist Dragvirion (anime)|Altergeist Dragvirion]]".

Ghost Gal attempted to negate it with "Hexstia", but "Drone Force Tuning" could not be negated and The Shepherd successfully Synchro Summoned "[[Commandrone Double Sniper]]". Ghost Gal was able to negate the attack and effect of "General", but Shepherd weakened "Dragvirion" with his [[Skill]], "Drone Force" and attacked with "Double Sniper". Ghost Gal negated that attack as well, but her continual negation of attacks had fueled the effect of "Double Sniper", allowing it to attack directly and Shepherd to Tribute it with the effect of "General", inflicting the [[ATK]] of "Double Sniper" to Ghost Gal and defeating her. Lamenting her inability to protect Blue Gal and Aqua, Ghost Gal told Shepherd about their father's death and that her father had asked her to help him if he needed it.
