to the authorities, but is stopped by Vander, who insists on being the scapegoat for the incident. Taking advantage of the situation, Vander's former friend Silco attempts to foment a new rebellion by capturing Vander and forcing him to undergo a chemically induced physical transformation using a drug called "Shimmer". The gang go to Vander's rescue, but Powder, trying to help them escape, causes another explosion which results in the deaths of Mylo and Claggor, while Vander dies saving Vi from Silco's thugs. Furious and distraught, Vi hits her sister and blames her for the incident, and storms off. Vi then sees Silco approaching Powder and attempts to return to her sister, but is chloroformed and abducted by a corrupt Piltover Enforcer and imprisoned without trial. After spending many years in a prison called Stillwater, Vi is released by Caitlyn Kiramman, a young upstart member of Piltover's security forces who requests her assistance in her investigation into Silco's criminal enterprise. In a notable scene, Vi appears to flirt with Caitlyn, calling her "hot" and nicknaming her "cupcake". Returning to the undercity, now called Zaun, Vi and Caitlyn gathers evidence on Silco with the help of the Firelight faction led by Ekko, an old friend who worked for Benzo, an associate of Vander. Vi also encounters her sister, who now goes by the moniker of "Jinx" after having been adopted by Silco, and is jealous of Caitlyn's perceived closeness to her sister. Following a Piltover Council meeting where its members are unable to reach a consensus to sanction direct action against Silco in spite of the presented evidence, Vi decides to ally with Jayce and assault Silco's operations with a contingent of Piltover Enforcers, but soon part ways with him due to their irreconcilable differences. Vi's next target is Silco's right-hand woman Sevika, and defeats her after an extended fight at the latter's bar, which was once owned by Vander. She is abducted by Jinx shortly afterwards, along with Caitlyn and Silco. Vi attempts to appeal to her sister's better nature after she threatens Caitlyn; Jinx instead shoots Silco to death by accident after she suffers a traumatic attack. Vi and Caitlyn manage to free themselves, and watch in horror as Jinx, having accepted her new identity and rebuked what remained of Powder, fires a rocket aimed for the Council of Piltover.
