Escape in the Truck - who won?

RE: Escape in the Truck - who won?
This is a juicy one. Here's my take:

"Bickering" (Base Game) - is played on a space, not on particular Heroes. It says "Play this card at the start of the Hero Turn on any space with more than one Hero in it. All characters in that space lose their Hero Turn..." Obviously characters not in that space do not lose their turn. Here's the crux of the question: If a Hero becomes not in that space by any means does his Hero Turn return to him? Is the loss of the turn only conditional on him being in that space? Or does it mark that Hero no matter where he goes?

"I'll Cover You!" (Upgrade from BitF) - says if you hit a Z with a ranged weapon one other Hero gets to move outside of the normal turn sequence. I believe Sister gets to move out of the space because it's a move outside of the normal turn sequence (it does not require having a Turn in order to make the move).

Does she get her turn back? Being familiar with other mechanics and wordings in the game I fully believe the loss of the turn from Bickering is conditional on being in that space. Note that the card is played on a space and not directly on Heroes. Yes, it seems it has to be worded that way in order to capture the multiple hereos there, but it could have been worded something like "Play on any heroes in a space...".

More importantly though, if the effect was intended to be persistent regardless of the position of the Heroes after it was played, it would have been called something else. Thematically, you need to be in the same space with another person in order to bicker with them. If something outside of your control distracts you or physically removes you, you are no longer bickering. The card titles do have thematic meaning.

My take: Sister moves outside of her turn and gets her Hero Turn back. If those two spaces from "I'll Cover You!" got her to the truck she now has a turn to give up to fuel the truck. The Heroes win.

Sssshhhh...I thought I heard a feetstep...
