Kayla reminds Theresa it is her last chance at a fresh start . Theresa also strikes up a bad first impression with Jennifer 's daughter Abigail Deveraux ( Kate Mansi ) when Abigail smells pot on Theresa in her mother 's office . To continue to battle against Jennifer , she teams up with Anne Milbauer ( Meredith Scott Lynn ) in hopes of exacting her perfect revenge . In a ploy , Theresa reveals her intentions to hopefully woo Dr. Daniel Jonas ( Shawn Christian ) . After sleeping with JJ , Theresa overdoses on marijuana and GHB . Upon hearing of their daughter 's overdose and continuing problems , Shane and Kimberly return to town in the hopes of handling their daughter 's problem , together . After believing that Theresa has a handle on her addictions , Shane and Kimberly leave town together .
