In June 2011, Rex and Gigi plan to get married at the court but find out Gigi had been locked in a basement of an old house by Jack Manning and his friends with carbon monoxide leaking. Rex finds her and takes her to the hospital, but the doctors are too late; Gigi is declared brain dead. In late June–early July 2011, Rex gives Gigi's heart to Clint Buchanan after Clint turns everything he has to Rex. Rex and Shane move into the Buchanan Mansion. She urges Rex to re-hire Nigel after Rex tells her he fired him but to no avail. On September 9, 2011, former con artist Cutter Wentworth buys her beloved stuffed porcupine Morris when Roxy sells the porcupine at a flea market held outside in Angel Square. What Cutter does not know is that Roxy hid a gun that belonged to Rex. Echo told her to hide it there after Echo and Roxy thought that Rex murdered Victor Lord Jr.. Victor is exposed as an imposter of Todd Manning after the real Todd shows up in town. Victor's nephew is responsible for causing Gigi's death, and Victor had Jack not have any charges pressed on him for Gigi's death. Roxy tries to take back the v from Cutter, but Cutter refuses to give Morris back to her, even though Cutter had the gun still hidden inside the porcupine.
