I can see that, yeah. Honestly, her reluctance to have bad things happen to Anita's "sweeties" has been dragging the series down for a long time, because there's no tension. It's like watching a disaster movie with The Littlest Cancer Patient (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LittlestCancerPatient) - you know they're not going to kill off the sick kid who's there to tug at your heartstrings, so you're not actually worried about them.
