After this she received an email from her old friend Samuel Lloyd. He tricked her into going back to her old home town and investigating a Fun Fair park, where she found an alien called Eve. Eve was a time sensitive alien, and the last of her kind. Using her abilties, she showed Rani her future. The vision showed showed her as an old lonely woman living in 13 Bannerman in the year 2059. After it is revealed Sarah Jane, Luke and Clyde had followed Rani, she took Eve out of the ride she hid in, but Eve only wanted to play and forced Rani and 4 homeless people to have fun. With Eve's power growing out of control, Sarah Jane learned that doing this would kill Eve, so she and Clyde got Eve to her mother ship where Rani was freed from Eve's power. Thankful and granting wishes by manipulating timelines, the mothership recalled a wish that Rani had made earlier, that Sarah Jane, Luke, and Clyde would just leave her alone, taking them out of existence from that point onward.
