In the 2002 film, Sue, apart from helping Carrie, also tries to befriend Carrie, feeling guilt for her role in bullying her. In the end, she revives Carrie via CPR after she is almost drowned by her mother, and then drives her away to Florida so the latter can start a new life.
In the 1999 film's sequel The Rage: Carrie 2, Sue is and adult and a supporter for Carrie's half-sister and this film's protagonist Rachel Lang. Unfortunately, near the end of the film, she is accidently killed by Rachel when she used her telekinetic powers to seek vengeance on her tormentors. However, this story doesn't adapt with the book and can be disregarded.
