Following George's disappearance in [[Brazil]] in [[1923]], Ann entered into a relationship with Charles, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) whom she did not love the same way that she had loved his brother. Charles, however, promised that he would make her love him. She began to have [[nightmare]]s whenever she stayed at Cranleigh Hall and was told that they would subside once she came to terms with George's [[death]].

She took to locking the [[bedroom]] door during her visits to Cranleigh Hall to feel safe, with Charles laughed at. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) | ||
On [[11 June]] [[1925]], Ann was introduced to [[Nyssa]], who was practically identical to her, by Charles and initially assumed that she must be a Talbot from [[Worcestershire]]. She provided fancy dress for the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka]], [[Adric]] and Nyssa for a [[party]], giving her double with a costume identical to her own so that they would be indistinguishable. At the party, she was grabbed by George, who had put on the Doctor's costume complete with a mask, and fainted after watching him kill [[James (Black Orchid)|James]]. She subsequently accused the Doctor of attacking her and he was [[arrest]]ed, but she learnt the truth of George's survival from [[Madge Cranleigh|Madge]] and Charles and mourned him after he kidnapped Nyssa and fell to his death.
