Evil season 4 episode 10 kills off Sheryl from the series
With everything that happened so far, involving the Manager Demon’s death and Leland taking over the authority, Sheryl knew that her and her family’s safety, while Leland breathed, was impossible. After all her tactics failed from baptizing the Antichrist to framing Leland as an enemy to The 60, she resorted to destroying him financially and was also ready to kill him if the situation escalated.
Before she would embark on this one-way path, Sheryl met her daughter and warned her about Leland. However, Kristen didn’t want to hear anything her mother had to say and she was more focused on the storm that hit the city, making the people all around go berserk.

Sheryl encroached into the head office and through the company’s social media account posted fake news of Leland’s death to negatively affect the stocks. Sheryl met Boggs and they together witnessed a demon at the location. The latter was completely shocked to witness something that defied his belief and knowledge.
After somehow making it out of the office, Sheryl headed to Leland’s residence and infused his transfusion bottles with a huge dose of medicine that she stole from Bogg’s office. Despite Sheryl’s attempt, Leland managed to survive after the office demon intruded.
Although Evil season 4 episode 10 didn’t show how Leland and his demon helper hurt Sheryl, after she was brought to the hospital by the first responders, she was in a pretty bad state. Kristen received a call from the hospital and it was revealed to her that there were no chances of her surviving.
Sheryl apologized to Kristen and met her granddaughters for the last time. Before Sheryl passed away, David assured her that God forgave her of all her sins and he would accept her in his kingdom.
