We last read Chapter 42, in which Beth starts her dinner date with a nervous Conner Bennett. They talk about their investigation, but also about themselves, and even hold hands across the table. At 11 p.m., Beth suggests they end the date, so they’re not too tired the next day. In reality, she plans for Sapphire Angel to visit the mysterious tower on Xavier Wheldon’s property. Conner drives her home, and they share a kiss on her front stoop. Beth wants to invite him in, but feigns not feeling well, so she can keep her plans as Sapphire Angel for the night.
That scene with Sapphire behind the tree and the guard advancing on her was so tense, I swear.....can’t believe I’m saying this, but she’s lucky Wheldon had other plans for her, otherwise she would’ve been in for quite a fight. Wonder what he’s going to do in four minutes......
(Besides turning off the lights, of course. We already knew that.)
This doesn’t look good. But it’s nice that there is peril for her. And it fits with the idea oh her inexperience and naïveté. I suppose this is how life goes. Keep keeping it real. It’s nice having a hero that isn’t infallible.
That's a great question and I've never thought of it! Since she knows the absolute truth, I suspect she'd see Beth, but until a story comes down one way or the other, feel free to imagine it as you want. The important thing is just how powerful the "mind trick" aspect of that part of her powers is, which may come into play later.

I think Wheldon had bigger plans than what the guard may have been able to do.

Here’s another thought. If she looks in a mirror while transformed does she see Beth or does she see Saphireangel?
Or for that matters looks at video or photo?
