Plot help... which one of these do you think is best?

Out of the three, I like the third the best. It shows she's no coward, really, and eventually she'll have to learn about it and that could definitely make an interesting scene. Also, I believe that because the antagonist has taken over while she is gone, that would be an upper hand advantage for him. He could turn the whole city or something against her, make them believe things that aren't true etc. etc. Maybe not as cliche as that but good enough. =P
