Arc

She has news she meant to keep until the crawl was over: Beatrice is alive (ch. 17). She saved her to protect an investment and to blackmail Borant, and points Carl at what she once did to Mordecai (ch. 18). Her interview tells a story she knows is horseshit — 'Well played, Carl' (ch. 19) — and she calls them poor bastards (ch. 20). She had a warrant once and married the man who bought it; she was tried as a manager and pleaded down (ch. 42, ch. 43). Carl's next appearance on her show is after the next floor starts.
