The Detective is a pleasant surprise.
He is ready to solve this on his own, to pursue it until the very end even if the police is so ready to write it up as a consequence of her drug problem. Just because she made a mistake she doesn't deserve scrutiny and dismissal. If no one else will honor her with the truth, then he will.
Instead he gets to work with this woman, who takes everyone's dismissal and throws it out of the window. She is a breath of fresh air with her tenacity and stubborn drive, and unlike the others she continues to investigate even after the case seemed to be solved.
The best part? His power isn't working on her.
Well he was getting bored anyway.
