She was coming back to form with her TDI self in TDWT, and the love triangle's outbreak brought us right back to the TDA days, where her attitude and role in that generally remain unpopular among the many other disliked elements of that season. She was far more balanced, edgy but clear-minded, and the triangle brought us back to the "constant flip out" mode of TDA. Which is easily where her character suffers most. No, TDWT was a false rerailment undone by this ridiculous and overwrought plot, along with Gwen's.

There's nothing to dispute here, TDA was derailment and TDWT was what looked like a rerailment that was quickly undone. I know what I'm saying, I'm not arguing over this point. It was a heinous ordeal for a lot of good characters (Duncan havin been one too) and I refuse to justify any aspect of it. Not happening.
