- She shows no remorse when she realizes that Aaron was innocent and was only concerned with trying to kill Ronald.
- Although she does express gratitude to Arnold Flass and Harvey Bullock for alerting her that Ronald was snitching to the police and states she will raise their salaries, she has no issue with blowing up the police department immediately afterwards which would have killed them, showing it's just a façade on her part.
