She simply proceeded to place it back into the bowl along with the other tomatoes and continued taking ingredients out of the refrigerator. You had been scared for a moment thinking that she would use you or something but luckily it seemed that wouldn't be the case for now... although it was very risky to transform at this moment so you decided to stay like that until you had a chance to escape.
After a while, Vicky's mother began to prepare the food, every time she approached the bowl you were in your heart stopped, this happened several times making you beg for her to finally leave, you didn't know how much time had passed but you should have about 6 more hours of the medallion left at most, more than enough to escape... or so you thought, because Vicky's mother after collecting some onions from the bowl you were in, with a simple "This recipe only needs onions and I already have tomato sauce, I guess I'll save these for now."

"No... NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO ME!" You screamed internally, terrified, you didn't know what to do, no one in this house would know what the medallion was, much less that you are the tomato next to it! A few more hours passed until Vicky finally arrived home and shortly after entering...
