She was in only 12 episodes. Far too few. Seems like a third were in that "junction box" basement office. I really loved it when gallant knight Sam went back upstairs and fired the two frat-rat thugs for harassment. And the whole Pinafore-Penzance contretemps and the "He is an Englishman" acceptance scene. Lovely, brief arc. Yeah, I'm crushing.
