The article doesn’t mention it, but there was a big kerfuffle after Charlyne Yi (the actor who played Judy) spoke out about being abused and assaulted on set.

That’s why the character basically disappears half way through the season.

Keep an eye on that Kal-el Tuck kid though. The last time I was that delighted by a kid actor on television was Elliot Page in Regenesis.

Oh yeah I completely forgot that she never came back.

I was like "oh they're clearly setting up something here", but apparently not.

I agree. Fun name too.

Ah I figured it was a setup for season 2, but this makes a whole lot more sense since they didn't even show her in the later episodes.

I figured it was a setup for the finale or something, but that earlier comment just made me realise it never came, and now that season 2 is cancelled anyway? Bittelig will stay lonely, I feel like. :(
