Wow, Hensen's happy about it? That... actually helps a little. Not in show terms, but outside the universe I've also been ragingly angry that this fantastic actress lost her job for this piece of trite bullshit so TPTB could feel "edgy".
Which still doesn't change the infuriatingness of the retcon, the fact that of course the black character died first, and the fact that of course the woman's death was all in aid of driving a man's story. arrrgh.
And when they introduced her son's father with his PTSD issues, I thought there was another fundamental reason she would probably be telling herself never to get involved with Reese, respect him though she may have, she knew he could go off the deep end at any time.
Oh, that would have been such a good call! (Although I think it's fair to say that he's been off the deep end all along; he's just swimming along with the rope Finch tossed him, heading steadily for shallower waters.)
She seriously should have joined the FBI. That would have been fantastic, and would have let them shift her to recurring instead of lead if that's what they really wanted (but whyyy, she is amazing!), with Finch and Reese having a solid source inside yet another law enforcement agency. Win all around!
And oh my god, the poor Reese/Carter fans! WTF, what a terrible thing to do to them!!
