Later, in episode 96, Vivian returns to Japan to find that Rachel finds out that Conan is Jimmy. Vivian pretends that she didn't know that Conan is Jimmy to lure Rachel away. Later, Vivian takes Conan to her friend's house.

Her personality is more that of a wild, over-confident teenager than of a mature woman; she is impulsive, a reckless driver (caught back in L.A. because of it), and likes to stand in the limelight (literally) whenever she has the chance. Because of her marriage to a famous detective stories author and her knack of involving herself in criminal cases from time to time, she has been publicly dubbed the "Night Baroness", after one of her husbands more notorious characters, the Night Baron.

A running gag in the series is that whenever Yukiko meets her son and they have to pretend not to know each other, in the original Japanese versions Shinichi (or rather, Conan) calls her "oba-san". This term, which means "old lady" or "grandmother", is often used by small children for women in their thirties and forties, sometimes even younger ones - a rather discomforting thought for those Japanese women who consider themselves in the prime of their lives. Yukiko also reacts rather unfavorably to it - she is "only" 37 years old - so Conan has to correct himself by calling her "onē-san" ("older sister").
