“What she learned throughout this season is: 'OK, I got what I wanted, I'm closer to home, but then what does it mean to be closer to home?' Because now I'm on these crazy missions during the day, but then I have to go home to my son and where is that decompression time? How do I make sure I don't take work home with me? How do I make sure that my family's protected, that these people don't come after my family?'”
