Nah, she’s not being positioned for anything. She’s not coming back next year.
She was hesitant to take the role at all because one of the producers is “so conservative.” And conservatism isn’t tolerated in HW. But she took it because she was out of work and needed a job.
Sadly, the role doesn’t give her enough to do. SIGH. I guess we’ll have to miss out on her talents next season. /sarc
