They were joined by Kelsey, and then [[Davey (Invasion of the Bane)|Davey]], a disguised Bane who unmasked and tried to kill them. After Davey was defeated, Maria went upstairs to Sarah Jane's attic, where she was told the truth about the universe: aliens came to Earth all the time.

While the team were investigating claims of sightings of a ghostly nun at [[Lavender Lawns]], the local nursing home, Chrissie temporarily moved in with Maria and Alan, causing further problems in the family.

Mr Smith told Maria and Sarah that Alan's original form was retrievable until 16:00. The Gorgon — a parasite inside the Abbess — chose Sarah Jane as its next host. Just as the Gorgon began to transfer itself, Maria arrived and used a [[mirror]] to revert the transfer and turn the Gorgon — and Abbess — to stone, freeing the nuns of their mind-control.

When several people in [[Ealing]], including [[Dana Price|the mother]] of her school mate [[Julie Price|Julie]] started to steal gold Maria helped Sarah Jane to investigate. Together they went to the [[Auriga Clinic]]. There Maria was being injected with gold, while Sarah Jane talked to [[Francis Augur]]. Back at the attic of 13 Bannerman Road Mr Smith scanned Maria's body and told Sarah Jane that the gold would automatically be gone within a few days. That night, however Clyde and Luke saw Maria leaving for the Auriga Clinic. She was in some kind of cataleptic state, not fully aware of her environment, and unable to respond to stimuli. She didn't react when Luke and Clyde were calling her. The following morning Maria seemed to be completely normal and couldn't remember that she had left her house. Sarah Jane later found out that Maria was under the control of the [[Keratin]], who controlled her through the gold injection. The Keratin used Maria to spy on Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane did not want to worry Maria and did not want to let the Keratin know that she had found out about their control of Maria's mind, which could endanger Maria's life. Sarah Jane told Clyde and Luke not to mention the Keratin or Maria's nightly visit of the Auriga Clinic towards Maria. The next night Sarah Jane and Luke followed Maria to the Auriga Clinic. Maria and the other people who were controlled by the Keratin wanted to take away the oceans of the planet [[Earth]] to get the gold of the ocean. The Keratin wanted to use the gold to be able to control the whole universe. Sarah Jane later pressed a patch with lithium citrate on Maria's neck and Maria got free of the Keratin's mind control. The Keratin were killed by [[salt water]] and couldn't invade Earth any longer.
