* PlotTwist: [[spoiler: It turns out there are ''two'' giant crocodiles in Lake Placid. The film brilliantly doesn't tip its hand until the first croc accidentally wedges itself inside their helicopter, meaning it can now be safely sedated and taken elsewhere. Just when they're about to celebrate, the second croc appears and grabs Hector's ankle, dragging him, but luckily, they tug him loose and Hank blows its head off when it tries to attack them again. And it bears mentioning that Hank gets one of the most awesome lines in the film after killing the second croc: "There. Back to one!"]]

From her first scene, she is jealous of Chloe (who has some mild chemistry with her boyfriend Drew) from the get go and doesn't hesitate to peck away at her through AccidentalMisnaming and AntiIntellectualism, as well as having sex with Drew to further make up his mind. Once the giant crocodiles attack though, she displays real concern for the others and does try to save someone whose being eaten. Afterwards, she is clearly traumatized by what happened and shows a much softer attitude towards Chloe and her friend Elaine throughout the attempts to escape the creatures, never questioning them or [[TheMillstone endangering the rest of the group]].

When Ahmad finally gets tired of Struthers's insensitive treatment and taking credit for Ahmad's work, he tells the part of the story that Struthers doesn't like to be reminded of: that it took Struthers four shots at point-blank range for him to hit the lion, two of which ended up hitting Ahmad instead.
