When she is/was eighteen, Shannon's father dies in a car crash. He did not have a will prepared, so all of his money and property goes to his wife. Sabrina refuses to help Shannon financially, despite Shannon winning a prestigious yet non-paying internship to the
Martha Graham Dance Company in New York. Unable to come up with the money herself, Shannon moves to France for a short time to work as an
au pair.
[2] Shannon later forms a plan to con her stepbrother,
Boone Carlyle, into giving her some of the inheritance she rightly deserved/deserves.
