Of course the show abandons her, just like it abandons the headmaster who gets sent halfway around the world only to find that no one knows why he's there. Or, for that matter, the boss in this scenario, who'd probably going to come back and have his receptionist call the police the minute he walks in the door. Or the flight attendant in Mile-High Job, or the guy whose ID Parker lifts in Homecoming Job to get onto the floor of Congress. Or the cops in the pilot who got conned into releasing four known criminals--how are they going to explain that to their superiors? The Leverage team is all about the ends justifying the means.
