After Bette's mayoral candidacy is threatened by one of her previous sex scandals, Shane gives Bette her support, and is initially against appearing on Alice's talk show to explain her side of the story and win back the people's faith, but relents.
The night before her wedding, Shane catches Gabriel cheating on his wife; Gabriel insists that he and Shane are alike and that they can never be faithful.
While there, she lived in a church shelter where, unbeknownst to her, Gabriel would come watch her at the church playground.
