Shelley became Angel no. 5 in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels for its 4th season. Shelley was already a Supermodel when she joined the hit TV series and was known worldwide as THE Charlie Girl in those fabulous Revlon Charlie TV commercials and print ads. She auditioned, went though a screen test, and even a personality test; but what really got her the part, it seems, was the headline "THE Charlie Girl becomes Charlie's newest Angel" which was going through Angels executive producer Aaron Spelling's head as he was choosing TV's latest cherub. Also, Shelley had good rapport with her new co-Angels Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith; plus, the three photographed really well together. When Shelley's debut episode "Love Boat Angels" aired, it topped the Nielsen ratings.
Tiffany has been having the same nightmare for a week about an old mansion and a mysterious lady in a wheelchair being pushed down the stairs to her death. At the office, she mentions this in passing to Kelly, Kris and Bosley... but then, she's also excited about her upcoming vacation to see her newly-married heiress friend Erica, who recently married a clothing manufacturer named Clifford Burke. She had invited Kelly and Kris to join her so they could meet Erica and Cliff; and the two will be flying over a day after Tiff leaves. And while the Angels will be enjoying their time off (there will even be a costume party at Erica's), poor Bosley will be staying at the office, going through a mountain of paperwork (just like he did in "Angels on a String," the 15th episode of season 1). When Tiffany arrives at Erica's house, she is surprised that it's exactly like the mansion in her nightmares. But upon seeing Erica, her mood changes, and the two have a happy reunion. Later, Erica confides in Tiffany that she isn't comfortable in her house, which is actually owned by Cliff. She tells Tiff about the strange things she notices in the house... footsteps, voices, things moving around, drafts, and the smell of perfume. She feels like someone or something doesn't want her there. That night, Tiffany wakes up, goes downstairs, and finds the mansion filled with people, filled with party guests. On her way back upstairs, she sees the mysterious lady in a wheelchair from her nightmares; and the woman is about to fall from the top of the stairs. But in a blink of an eye, the woman and everyone else suddenly disappear; and Tiff finds herself alone. The next day, she fetches Kelly and Kris from the airport and tells them about what she saw the night before; and the two are perplexed. Later, they meet Erica; and, over tea, Erica tells them about Tiff's interest in the occult and her psychic abilities. Kelly and Kris tease Tiff about it. When the three Angels are alone, they have a serious conversation about what Tiff really thinks is happening at the house. Later, Kelly and Kris begin to notice the strange things for themselves. Everything culminates at the costume party where the truth about the house and the mysterious lady is finally revealed.
