Gigi initially befriends Viki Davidson (Erika Slezak) in 2007 when both women are working at the Bonjour Café in Paris, Texas.

Gigi asserts that his father is a deceased war hero, a story Shane thrills to hear again and again, but is especially troubled when her old high school boyfriend Rex Balsom later appears at the Bonjour.

Brody shares an emotional goodbye with Shane and is admitted to St. Anne's mental hospital for treatment.

On March 12, 2009, Shane is diagnosed with leukemia, Gigi's sister Stacy (Crystal Hunt) later learns of a matching donor.

Rex and Gigi arrived in time to talk him down, and, not knowing what else to do, take him to the hospital to have him psychologically tested.

Bo (Robert S. Woods) and Rex stop Shane from shooting Jack, and they all go the police station.

Shane hires Neela to secretly record her conversation with Jack about being responsible for Gigi's death.
