She tries to keep it a secret, but falls in love with Toby (Louis Talpe) who also works at the police. He is in love with Mega Mindy and doesn't know that Mieke secretly likes him and is actually Mega Mindy. She tries to find a way to balance between work and being a superhero, but it isn't always easy.
Every episode has a new mystery that Mieke has to solve and one or more badguys who Mega Mindy takes down.

He does manage to claim responsibility for capturing a bad guy on several occasions because Mega Mindy can't reveal herself.
