Season 16
Cheyenne is shown supporting Brendan as he testifies against Christian Kelley in court and is pleased to hear that Christian is guilty on all charges. The following day, Cheyenne is preparing her students for a field trip to the science museum along with another 3rd grade class when Christian (who escaped from a prison van and stole a police officer's gun) kidnaps her at gunpoint and forces her on one of the buses.

After that, Christian forces Paul, the bus driver to drive the bus over to the hospital where Brendan is working. The whole ride to the hospital, Cheyenne is still held at gunpoint. She tries to keep calm and expresses her condolences for Christian's wife. As they get to the hospital, Paul attempts to radio for help, but when Christian catches him, he pistol whips him unconscious, leaving Cheyenne shocked and tearful.

When Christian demands that he wants to see Brendan, Cheyenne calls Brendan on her cell phone, telling him she has an emergency and needs to see him right away. Christian warns Cheyenne not to do anything stupid and threatens to shoot her if she does.

As Brendan steps on the bus, he is also held hostage on the bus along with Cheyenne and Paul. The police are notified and surround the outside of the hospital as they try to get Christian to surrender. Christian allows medical assistance for Paul and 30 minutes later, he releases Cheyenne off the bus and she collapses on her knees in tears. She is escorted by a police officer and taken to the ER to be examined.

Meanwhile, Brendan is still held hostage on the bus until the evening hours when Christian decides to release him. Just as the police are about to arrest Christian, he commits suicide by shooting himself in the head. Afterwards, Brendan and Cheyenne reunite with each other in the ER along with Adrianna.

Season 17
In the season premiere, it is revealed that Cheyenne, Corey and Riley have been spending the summer in Wilcox, Illinois, staying with Jamie and Francesca. According to Adrianna, Cheyenne needed to get out of Oakridge following the hostage situation. Brendan reveals that she has been having virtual therapy sessions with a trauma counselor to cope with the incident.

Throughout the summer, Cheyenne's mental health has been declining. She has spending the majority of her time in bed sleeping during the day, having nightmares and flashbacks, and feeling depressed and edgy. Adrianna becomes concerned when Riley tells her via FaceTime that Cheyenne doesn't want to do anything fun with her and Corey anymore, and has been isolating herself from others. Brendan tries to contact Cheyenne, but she refuses to answer her cell phone.

Cheyenne gets into an argument with Jamie and Francesca after she tells them that she is stopping her virtual therapy sessions, claiming that it hasn't been helping her and doesn't see the point in continuing with them. When Jamie keeps persisting that Cheyenne should give the sessions more time and brings up how she's been behaving lately, Cheyenne storms out of the house, gets in her car and drives off. She is shown aimlessly driving all over town, looking dishelved, distraught and frantic.

Towards the end of the episode, Adrianna gets a frantic phone call from Corey, who says that Cheyenne is missing and left her cell phone behind. She and Brendan become concerned when Corey tells them about the argument Cheyenne had with Jamie and Francesca. Cheyenne is seen running outside in the dark, barefoot as a voice asks her if she's okay. She screams at the voice to leave her alone and is shown falling backwards on the ground.
