Paula was to be Amy's Maid of Honor at her wedding to [[Maurice 'Reese' Wyatt]], but was called away to the White House on important business and returned for the reception. (Not wanting to take away from Amy's special day, Paula didn't tell her that she had been promoted to brigadier general and selected to become the Deputy Director of [[DELPHI]], replacing [[Robert Bakeson]].)

She has instead elected to take the Dean's position at Tennyson, but still possesses an enormous amount of political and personal power (as the position she would have assumed is being held open for her).

In the [[Apocalyptic Daria]] universe, Paula was responsible for saving the lives of Amy, her family, and several of their close friends by deploying a DELPHI [[Gridrunner]] Mark II aircraft to Tennyson University and extracting them (and others) before Washington, D.C. was destroyed by a nuclear weapon. This is shown in the as-yet unreleased tie-in fic ''Twilight Friday''.
In the [[Daylight]] continuity of [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]], Paula saved the remaining members of the Barksdale family (Amy, as well as [[Tess Barksdale]] and [[Erin Chambers]], because she could reach them in time) by taking them with Delphi forces evacuating to another Earth. In '[[The Hope Mission]]',it is revealed that this Paula was promoted to the rank of a four-star general, and that Amy holds an unspecified position on her staff.
