Nicholasandrewshalls does make a good point. However, I don’t see her choice to return as an insuperable plot problem. The character of the bartender in the long running U.S. hit comedy, Cheers (1982-1993), Sam Malone, was a recovering alcoholic. It added some interesting complexity to the character, created more opportunities for plot situations, but the role was written — and acted — in a way that made it credible.
So I can see her returning. It’s a weak choice, a bad choice, but isn’t it the nature of the dramatic character arc that characters make weak choices in Act 1, grow to make stronger choices later? As long as the bad choice is credibly motivated.
