Oh, this is so good! You do a great job writing both Juliet and Karen. We don't really see much of their relationship or interactions on the show, but this felt very in-character for them and I could easily picture this happening. Also loved the little moments of Lassiter supporting his partner/best friend through her trauma. And a nice explanation for how Juliet ended up at city hall in the next season. Very awesome story, I enjoyed it so much!
