History
Annie Shan and Darren always got on well, but when the Cirque du Freak came to town she wanted to go instead of Darren, but she asked Darren to bring her a souvenir. After Darren had stolen Madam Octa, she came in Darren's room and saw Madam Octa and screamed. The Spider then bit Steve, paralysing him.

In the Movie
In the movie, no mention is made of Annie ever knowing anything about the Cirque until Darren's family is kidnapped by Murlough and Steve.
