However it also makes someone addictive to it, which he uses to control and seduce her into going the path of sin by having an affair with him, something Gaunt takes advantage of with great pleasure.

When she realises who she is after he destroys though his actions half of the city, she throws the artifact away. She witnesses the destruction of his place and his apparent death at the hands of Danforth Keeton, who also causes his own death by it, but also witnesses his unscathed survival.

After that she realises in fear that Gaunt is indeed the devil, when he hears his prediction that she will be the sheriff's wife and will have children with him and grandchildren, revealing his intention to deal with one of them in the future.
