Well, hell, maybe I'll go look and see when that happened. Honestly, I get the needed a story focus (Spader) and a foil (that girl), an adversary, someone that causes "conflict" to make life easier for the storytellers/writers, but for crying out loud! If you actually pay attention to TV these days, especially the 1-hr programs, the endless amount of ridiculous "conflict" is just...I mean, like cops. There are no cops left who interview like, say, Foyle (Foyle's War, which we've just started re-watching). Calmly, without putting the suspect's back up. NOPE, they're all aggressive, "in your face" and on the suspect from the moment that they get them in their power/custody, whatever. Who does that? Again, it's all to create dramatic "conflict" and it's vacuous and unbelievable.
I got to the point--whatever season that was, before we turned it off, it was fairly early on--when the endless blather about--what was it, her MOTHER?--was so damned annoying we'd fast-forward through it, lol.
Thanks for telling me!
