The mission is successful, but after a fistfight between Nova and an enemy sniper turns violent and she is almost killed, one of her squad members shoots him and saves her life. However, the soldier then begs for his life, reasoning that he was only following orders, but the squad does not care and guns him down, horrifying Nova. An enraged Nova punches the squad leader, pointing out that he was surrendering, before she leaves them behind with Darrell watching in sympathy. Later on, he discharges Nova to further support her decision to stick with morality, and Nova then remarks that some things she did before what happened during that mission was no better and that she wishes that some squad members from a few years back were still alive.

One day, Nova decides to make a public appearance and announce that she will be politically involved, leaving her children in the care of Darrell, who is currently unavailable as a general until he is able to be called back into service. Nova, during an interview, openly mentions that she had endorsed Randolph Michaelson and his running mate David Knight in 2024 for president of the United States, and that she opposes the government organization Global Humanitarian Relief, saying that she is deeply suspicious of them. Weeks later, while Nova is in another interview, this time with Michaelson and Knight and surrounded by Secret Service agents, Darrell is attacked and knocked out by five assailants, who give chase to Anthony and Eliza. Anthony hides Eliza long enough for Darrell to wake up and find her, but he is unable to locate Anthony. One of the assailants catches up to Anthony and offers to let him go if he tells him where his mother is. When he spits in his face instead, he fatally strangles Anthony. In a fit of rage and grief, Darrell savagely beats the man to death. Having called 911, Darrell receives medical attention, while Anthony's body is examined. Nova arrives, and is grief-stricken to see that her son is dead.

The news of her disappearance goes viral across the United States, but people like Michaelson, Rose and Knight acknowledge that Nova is merely taking matters into her own hands. Darrell, having examined the man he killed in the crime scene at Nova's home, realizes the GHR was involved, and informs Nova of this. He then sends an anonymous call to the GHR's CEO, Peter Walker, warning him that he ruined the wrong woman's life. Nova discreetly tracks down the remaining assailants in Idaho and snipes them all down one by one, leaving one alive for her to interrogate. The assailant confirms to her that the GHR is indeed responsible for her son's death, though they wanted her dead and not her children. Nova vows to kill every key member of the organization in order to weaken Walker's position, knowing he ordered the hit on her that day. Not listening to Darrell's warning, Walker hires a professional hitman, Norman White, known as "Hawk", to take care of Nova.
