During the events of Firestarter (1984) played by Moses Gunn
Andrew McGee and Charlie McGee are brought to The Shop where DSI Orderlies restrain Andrew while Dr. Pynchot tells Andrew that Charlie is okay. Dr. Pynchot introduces himself after Andrew tries to escape and tells Andrew he is at The Shop. Captain Hollister and Dr. Pynchot test Andrew's abilities and send in Albright to speak with Andrew. Andrew tells Albright to put ink in his water and tries to make him drink it, but fails. Charlie agrees to the tests and Dr. Pynchot has her set wood on fire as the first test. The DSI Technicians notice the intense waves as she conducts the test and how quickly she is able to make the temperature rise. After she passes the test, a DSI technician that was in the room with her runs out and leaves the door open. Dr. Pynchot worries that Andrew and Charlie might see each other again and that Andrew will have Charlie kill them all. Dr. Pynchot wants to do more tests, but Hollister and John Rainbird think they have tested her enough. Charlie escapes and kills Dr. Pynchot by firing a large fireball at him.
