Shelley, meanwhile, was proud of Dawn for finally being honest with her loved ones. They continued to have a sexual relationship, which allowed them to grow closer. Shelley told Dawn that going to the bible camp wouldn't be a bad thing, as long as she had a positive attitude. After Dawn left, Shelley told Andy that she hoped Dawn would be okay.

At the hospital, Shelley saw Helen and revealed to her what had happened to Dawn.

After Dawn was shot and lost the baby, Shelley supported her friend and told her to move back home so she could be closer to her parents.

A short time later, Shelley reminded Dawn of everything that they had been through together and told her not to throw that away because of a mistake.
