After the night of the explosion at the Gryffen Manor, she arrived to question him. She showed him the profile of Stark Reality, who had been arrested on the night of the explosion. Gryffen (who was hiding Starkey) acted oblivious as to Starkey's escape. June showed him a recording of K9 Mark 2 (whom Gryffen was also hiding), saying he was "ugly" and he had a "terrible design". This angered K9, who rose from his hiding place behind June. Gryffen argued about his design to reassure K9, who was pulled down by Starkey before June could notice.

When Darius Pike and Starkey were imprisoned in Dauntless Prison while tracking a Jixen warrior, June told the Governor of the prison, Thorne, that they weren't to be harmed. Thorne asserted his authority. June contacted Gryffen, and offered to have Starkey and Darius released in return for K9. Darius was willing, but Starkey refused and they were left to "enjoy" a cell with Mr Wiffy. When the Jixen ran riot through the prison, Thorne locked himself and June in his office. When she found out K9 was in the prison, she unlocked the door herself. When Darius, Starkey and the aliens were freed by Jorjie, they were stopped by June, who ordered them to return to their cells. The Jixen arrived and a fight ensued. (TV: Liberation)

Alternate timelines
At the mobile HQ, June was alerted to the escape of a prisoner, who Thorne noted was a maximum security inmate associated with Project Taphony. Arriving at the manor on Gryffen's 38th birthday, June found that he had freed the inmate, Taphony, a Time Blank that had rapidly aged him while draining the energy from Jorjie. Though Taphony wished for a mother and friends, June told her that absorbing Jorjie would not make her Taphony's mother. When June and the others. When June and the others offered themselves in Jorjie's place, Taphony chose to leave via the STM vortex, restoring Gryffen and saving Jorjie. As a result of Taphony's departure, time reversed by a day and so June, along with everyone else bar K9, lost their memory of Taphony. (TV: Taphony and the Time Loop)
Other information
June liked to go clothes shopping with Jorjie. Jorjie thought it was so she could supervise the clothes she bought but June looked on it more as "advising, strongly advising". (TV: The Korven)
Personality
June was a staunch believer in obeying the law, although she would disobey a law she felt wrong or unjust. She was moral and despised the immoral actions of Drake, Thorne and Lomax. She believed imprisoning aliens in the Dauntless Prison was right for the future, safeguarding the world's children, (TV: Liberation) although she did meet more peaceful aliens such as the Medes, whom she released from their harsh treatment, (TV: Alien Avatar) and Yssaringintinka. (TV: Lost Library of Ukko) She was strict with her daughter out of love and concern rather than malice; June admitted at one point she would never stop worrying, and she told Drake she had stayed in the Department to prevent his world from ever existing.
