Fatal Bar Brawl[]
Quinn saw Frank Castle walk back into Lola's Roadhouse that night, and they greeted each other happily.

When Castle's fight with the mercenaries moved to the dance floor, Beth called over Ringo to intervene. The fight soon escalated, prompting Quinn to grab the shotgun under the bar.

"Pete. Okay? He said his name was Pete. That's all I know."
"There's something you're not telling me. I can see it in you, Beth. A vow before God is not to be taken lightly. Whatever happens, when I leave this room cannot be taken back. Do you understand? You owe this man nothing." - ―Beth Quinn and John Pilgrim[src]
Quinn was recovering at the hospital, but upon awakening she saw John Pilgrim at her bedside, reading over the many get well cards her loved ones had left for her, particularly the one by her Rex Quinn. As they conversed, Pilgrim asked for Frank Castle's identity, threatening her son's life if she did not answer.
Pilgrim reasoned that Quinn owed Castle no loyalty, being the person who nearly got her killed. Terrified and with great reluctance, Quinn revealed Castle's full assumed name: "Pete Castiglione." Pilgrim then caressed her face, promising to offer a prayer for her recovery before departing.[2]
