Background

During the events of Devil Fish (1984) played by Darla N. Warner
Dr. Bob Hogan calls the Paleontological Institute and speaks with Dr. Bates and asks her to bring her notes on proto-sharks. Dr. Bates gives a lecture on prehistoric sharks to Peter, Dr. Hogan, Dr. Stella Dickens, Cortez and Sheriff Gordon and she tells them she thinks the Monster Shark is a living fossil. Sheriff Gordon wants to kill the Monster Shark, but Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bates want to capture it. Peter, Dr. Dickens, Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bates go out onto the ship and Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bates catch an image of the Monster Shark and see that it has tentacles. The Monster Shark attacks the ship and Dr. Hogan is killed. Peter and Dr. Dickens return to the ship and find Dr. Bates still alive. Peter comes up with an idea to mimic a mating call to attract the Monster Shark. Peter, Dr. Dickens and Dr. Bates go back out to sea and try Peter's idea. Miller takes a boat out to Dr. Dickens' ship and attacks Dr. Bates and shoots her dead.
