[24] Gibson portrayed the avatar Emmanuelle on Caprica (2010), which accredited three episodes. [25] She then made a guest appearance as Palomino on Supernatural in the episode "Two Minutes to Midnight". [26] In 2011, she was credited in Rise of the Planet of the Apes as playing Alyssa Williams. [27] [28] Subsequent television credits included He Loves Me (2011) and Soldiers of the Apocalypse (2011).
