By the time Dwight visited Kadie's to look for Marv, he hadn't phoned Shellie for six months, and she scolded him.
Blue Eyes
Gail visits her and tells her that Dwight alive hiding in Old Town and to watch out when then police come to ask about him.
She later complains to Josie about the cowboys who become restless waiting for the beers they ordered. Josie replied that the kegs are being changed.
A Dame to Kill For (continued)
Mort and Bob interrogate her about Dwight's whereabouts. She tells them about their affair.
The Hard Goodbye
Right after the cops leave, Shellie takes Marv's orders.
The Big Fat Kill
In the meantime when Dwight had left her, Shellie had a brief affair with Jack Rafferty who not only was married, but also was abusive. Once he hit her so hard that he gave her a large scar on her face; customers didn't flirt with her and she had no tips.
Then she reunited with Dwight and while he was in her home, Jackie-Boy invited himself and his buds in her apartment to have a party with her girlfriends. Dwight insisted that she opens the door but Shellie replied that he doesn't want to see Jackie's bad side. Eventually she opened the door when Jackie threatened to break it.
Once in the bathroom, Dwight attacked and humiliated Jackie who then took his buds and left. Dwight told Shellie that he would follow them to prevent any more troubles; as he jumped out of the window, Shellie shouted to him that he is a "cop".
