Season Five
As the chaos ensued during motim, Gina tried to enter Luschek's office, but was ignored, then passed her own menstrual blood on her face and pretended to be hurt, to the displeasure of Blanca and Luschek, who finally helped her when she thought she was hurt.

When they finally arrived at the prison wiring system, the two discussed what wire to cut, but Gina did not trust Luschek and ended up cutting off the light from the prison, causing a blackout. (Riot FOMO)
With Luschek captured by the other inmates, Gina spent the first night of agitation trying to reconnect, watching the instructions on her cell phone in a video. In the morning, Gina managed to light all the lights in the jail and began to shout with joy at having worked properly.
