She sits in Lord Boreal’s car observing the people around her.
It’s obvious that she’s using him for her own ends: getting Lyra back.
She swears they will get them, and this leaves Will shaken when he needs confidence most.

Taking his car keys, she leaves as her daemon watches forlornly from the window.
She pretends that Lyra talked to her and wants to apologize in person in case she was a nuisance.
Malone said she wasn’t and that it was the most interesting conversation she’s had in ages.
When Malone turns to make her coffee, she runs off.
Coulter is in a foul mood and asks Boreal for a drink.
Talking about Malone, she notes that the woman was impertinent and intelligent but also free.
Still intent on romancing her, he says no, and that she needs to take a breath.
She laughs cruelly and the doorbell goes off, revealing that Lyra has come.
As Lyra runs downstairs and Boreal locks the door behind her, she’s shocked to see her mother.
Boreal goes after Will and the knife as Lyra and Coulter have a mother-daughter face-off for the ages.
Will eventually gets the upper hand on Boreal after the latter taunts him about his mother.
Will confirms that Coulter was her mother and says he’s never seen Lyra like that.
He can’t imagine having to be scared of his own mother the way Lyra is.
But before they can make it to Cittagazze, Dr. Malone makes it there first.
