Character Shift
When the character of Beth first appeared, she was kind and supportive. She acted as an advice-giver to Luis and Sheridan, although on separate occasions. It was known she had previously been in love with Luis, but Beth was not bitter about him moving on. After several appearances Beth was absent for a time. When Beth was 'reintroduced' a year or so later, her character was no longer sympathetic. Instead, she became a villain, primarily interested in stealing Sheridan away from Luis. For the remainder of Beth's appearances, she was implied to have psychotic tendencies ranging from kidnapping Sheridan to faking a pregnancy all the way to 'birth.'

“You’ve just fulfilled the first role of law enforcement. Make sure when your shift is over you go home alive.”
