You know, before I ended up in Amphibia, I didn't care about right and wrong: I just did what was easy, I let people walk all over me. And I think that's because, I didn't love myself, not really. But meeting you three has changed all of that, and these months we spent together have showed me the person I really wanna be. Trap or not, I have to do this.

Anne later gets captured by an angry mob of frogs led by Mayor Toadstool (Stephen Root), but when two new giant mantises attack, she and Sprig work together to defeat them.
After beating the bigger of the two mantises, Toadstool suggests running Anne out of town. Sprig stands up to the mob, taking responsibility for her well-being. The Plantars take Anne as their own to everyone's chagrin. Anne now lives with the Plantar's until the valley clears up in a couple of months.
In the last scene, Anne pulls out a box that got her there in the first place and tries to get it to work. However, this time, unlike before, it doesn't work, making the box looks like a normal one. This troubles Anne, causing herself to resign to her current fate.

Abilities
Former Powers
Blue Gem Powers: After Anne was transported to Amphibia through the Calamity Box, Anne seems to have gained the power of the blue gem. It's first hinted in the pilot when Anne's eyes glow blue. Given the blue gem represents Heart, Anne's powers react to her emotions. This happened when she protected Sprig, risking her safety for a stranger, she utilized a lot more strength than she normally could, and again in "Handy Anne" because seeing the Plantar's house she promised to take care of was destroyed for a few moments she had a boost is speed, agility, combat prowess and courage, even to the point of yelling at Veggierobo. While the blue gem was recharging, Anne left and took the gem before it was fully charged when she heard her friends screaming thinking they were in danger, and following the events of "True Colors", Anne retained her powers of the blue gem. When King Andrias dropped Sprig to spite her, the grief caused by thinking her best friend Sprig had fallen to his doom allowed her to draw on the power within the Calamity Box causing both her eyes and hair to glow neon blue, twigs and branches left in her hair becoming permanent wooden horns, and having leaves flow around in her hair and around her. Anne's powers enhance her physical abilities, gaining strength, speed, and agility. In "The New Normal", Anne's powers take a toll on her after using them, given that she couldn't seem to control her powers, Anne was left greatly exhausted, and claims to feel "bad" after using them. Despite the loss of stamina after using them, Anne seemed to get better control of her abilities after each use as Anne could only manifest them as blue energy around her eyes and fists and damage part of the Cloak-Bot, while in "Anne-sterminator", she manifested them as a flaring blue aura of intense energy and kicked the damaged Cloak-Bot into low orbit before it self-destructed. Anne displayed some degree control of her powers as seen in "Escape to Amphibia" as she is able to activate them at will and with no sign of fatigue after using them. When not using her full power, her hair will take on a darker shade, jagged and inconsistently flowing style. Moreover, she released energy with greater intensity than the last two times she used them since her first return to Earth.
Enhanced Strength: Anne's exerts far greater strength to deliver more powerful strikes. She is able to land a punch on King Andrias, a new who is three times her size, destroy his Frobots, and break through Andrias' energy shield. She is also able to greaty damage Cloak-Bot, and than when she fought it again she kicked it so hard that send it into orbit before it self-destructed.
Teleportation/Flight/Enhanced Speed: Anne can move so fast than the eye could that it looks like she teleported as she can vanish and reappear within seconds when battling King Andrias in his castle along with being able to move rapidly while mid-air. Anne quickly dodged two Frobots' lasers that ended up destroying each other in the process.
Enhanced Agility: During her fight with Andrias' Frobots, Anne effortlessly dodged all of their lasers while in mid-air.
Energy Manipulation: Anne can generate multiple blasts of intense blue energy powerful enough to make Andrias' Frobots and castle pillars explode when hit. She can also create a blue aura that seems to act as a propulsion boost for her agility.
Energy Infusion: Using her raw power, Anne can power machines as she is able to strengthen and increase of the size of the portal to Amphibia. Ally and Jess describe Anne as being a human battery.
