"Maybe this could be a "set-up" by the FBI and everyone is
in on it except Luis (so that it looks realistic). Maybe this was the
FBI's way of getting the drug cartel off Sheridan's back so that they
will go back to smuggling their narcotics and they can catch them in
action. Everyone from the FBI, to Hank, to Sheridan, to Sam, and Eve, and
even the paramedics are in on it. The "blood" could be fake and
the "no pulse" could be part of the plan to make it even more
realistic to Luis." Val2003
November 9, 2000 marked the
day of the shot heard 'round Harmony. Hank Bennett pulled a gun and shot
Sheridan Crane while looking into her eyes. As she fell he shot her again in the
back. As she pleaded for his help to save her life, he looked on. As the life
ebbed from her body, he left the cottage feeling remorse for what he'd done, yet
doing nothing to save his dying victim. Why? Because the drug cartel had
threatened to expose his past to his brother, the chief of police. That threat
was enough to force Hank into turning a gun on a woman he once called a friend,
and a woman he could have loved if she had given him a second look.
On to the scene arrives Luis
Lopez-Fitzgerald. He had been on his way to Washington to wrap up the case that
had kept him guarding Sheridan Crane for months. Feeling that something wasn't
right, he turned around, arriving at Sheridan's cottage soon after Hank had left
for the docks. He held the dead woman in his arms trying desperately to give her
life. The FBI agent accompanying Luis had the unfortunate task of telling him
she was dead. The paramedics arrived and also tried to revive her finally giving
Luis the same news there was nothing they could do. Eve Russell, doctor extraordinaire,
arrives in her duties as medical examiner. She also has the same news to break
to Luis...Sheridan is dead. The distraught man refuses to believe there is
nothing to be done that would save the life of the woman he loves.
Passions fans
everywhere join Luis in the belief that there is no way that Sheridan can be
dead. If she is, they insist it's a setup to fool the drug cartel and that
she'll be revealed to still be alive. However, many concede that if she is dead,
the magic in Harmony will be instrumental for bringing her back to life. They
insist that if one of the two scenarios are not what happens, they'll stop
viewing Passions in protest. Some have even gone so far to sign a
petition to bring Sheridan back.
