Sheila was pressed as she worked as a liaison between Brooke and the Forresters. And she was also a friend of Brooke´s. Eric felt he couldn´t trust Sheila and asked for a divorce. Sheila pleaded with him to reconsider. She asked him to go with her to Catalina to renew their union. He agreed. There, they ran into Lauren and Scott. Sheila pleaded with Scott to keep quiet while Lauren decided to tell Eric the truth about Sheila. But Scott called her in the last minute and begged her not to tell Eric, to give Sheila a second chance. Scott died that evening. Sheila felt bad for Scott, who Eric though Sheila didn´t know. He liked how compassionate she was to a stranger and cancelled the divorce.
