By the end of season 1 in Severance, Reghabi is shown in a violent confrontation with Doug Graner, Lumon Industries' head of security. Reghabi kills Graner with a baseball bat at Ganz College, to protect Mark and this marks the rise of the rebel against the Lumon. She is determined to expose the truth about the Severance program. But killing Graner further puts her on the company's radar.

Therefore at the start of season 2, she maintains a hide. Her exact location and activities after this incident are left unexplored in Season 1, adding to the mystery surrounding her role in the resistance. Reghabi was in contact with Petey through a cellphone, that he left in Mark's basement. After Petey's death, Mark dials the phone and contacts Reghabi.
