When Yorick arrives in town with Dr. Mann and Agent 355, Tess is worried that the government is trying to keep tabs on the ex-convicts of the town. She constantly warns others to keep quiet about their secret, just in case the trio is unaware of their status in society. She repeats this to Sonia when she and Yorick go off alone to fetch firewood. The warning is unheeded, however, and Yorick learns the truth. Despite his jerkish behavior at knowing the town’s dirty secret, Tess and the other women try to protect him from the Daughters of the Amazon when they roll into town.
