Dani attended the dedication of the new rescue robots with brothers Kade and Graham, however when they were called to the natural history museum to deal with a fire, she found her new helicopter was reluctant to fly very high or fast and thus arrived late. That night, they were further startled when their vehicles went off on their own to chase a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex. Dani used her helicopter to drop a metal cell on the dinosaur. It was only later that their father revealed that the four robots were aliens. Family of Heroes
Dani and Blades continued having problems working together. Cody interrupted Dani's rock climbing to try and assist, and eventually lured her, Kade and Graham to the bunker under the fire station in an attempt to get them to bond with their partners, but Dani's enthusiasm about flying just made Blades uncomfortable. When they subsequently had to deal with an active volcano, Dani had to cajole Blades into flying out of the ash cloud. When she later spotted that the lava was flowing into the tunnels leading to the bunker where Cody was, she managed to spur Blades into action so they could pick up a nearby water tower and dump it on the lava. Under Pressure
After feeling left out of a rescue, Dani went to Doc Greene and borrowed a scoop claw, which she attached to Blades.

She took Blades out on patrol, but when the Autobot was forced down after being struck by lightning, she and Cody were in danger of being baked by a forest fire. After a rescue by the rest of the team, Dani and Blades opted to put the claw in storage until it was really needed.

Dani volunteered to take the blame for the venture. When the Rescue Bots were called to a fire at the lab, Dani was contacted by Cody, and instructed the boy in landing Morocco's airship. Cody and Frankie had found evidence condemning Morocco, resulting in the team being reinstated. The Reign of Morocco
Dani and Blades were prevented from rescuing Haley by Kade, who wanted to do it himself so he could win Haley over and get a date.

They continued on without the three missing bots, and when there was a problem at the dam, Dani and Graham observed it from base, and Dani spotted that Haley's minivan was still blocking one of the overflow pipes. After the three Bots were returned to normal size, Dani had to clean the sewerage off Blades.
