Background

Margaret Hooper is a police officer for the Wheelsy Police Department in Wheelsy, South Carolina.

During the events of Slither (2006) played by Jennifer Copping

Trevor and Margaret are helping children cross the streets when Trevor wonders why Starla Grant married Grant Grant. Margaret tells him it was because Starla grew up poor and wanted to have a better life. Bill Pardy makes a comment about Grant not having a vagina and 'Gina Kid asks what a gina is and Bill tells him like the Ginese people.

Starla calls Bill's number and leaves a message. Grant sees her calling through the window and goes into the house and attacks her and attempts to infect her. Bill, Wally, Trevor and Margaret walk into the house and Grant runs away. Three days later, Jack MacReady complains to Tourneur and Bill about the city council wanting Grant found, as a Sad Drunk waits to be processed. Jack worries that Shelby is going to cause a hysteria when he hears Bill describe Grant as squid looking. Jack gets upset when Wally, Trevor and Margaret aren't taking things seriously and suggests Grant might just have lyme disease. Shelby tells Bill of another animal attack and he, Wally, Trevor and Margaret drive to the location. Bill has a meeting with the other officers, Jack, Charlie and Dwight. He tells them that he thinks Grant will next attack the Strutemyer property. Before they leave, Starla demands to go with them.

They drive to the Strutemyer property and wait for Grant. He eventually appears and kills a cow. Starla walks up to him and talks to him. Charlie points his gun at Grant and demands he show them where Brenda Gutierrez is and Grant uses a tentacle to cut him in half. Bill and the others start shooting at Grant and he slithers away. They follow him and end up at a barn where they find a severely enlarged Brenda. She tells Bill that she is hungry and then her body starts to tear apart and explodes. Thousands of worm-like things pour out of her. They go into the mouths of Wally, Trevor, Tourneur, and Dwight.

Bill tries to contact Shelby, but can't reach her. Starla, Jack and Margaret drag the bodies of Wally, Trevor, Tournier and Dwight out of the barn, and the bodies suddenly get up. Wally and the others start talking to Starla as if they are Grant. Kylie's family also get back up and tell her to join them. Trevor spits a yellow liquid onto Margaret which makes her skin burn and enlarge and she dies.
