Where did that happen in DCF?
My sense is that the AC resistance got organised largely by accident after Thanh and scruffy walked in at the right time, almost despite her involvement, and I tend to give Celia primary credit for Roy's return ticket.
My memory is fuzzy, but wasn't Sabine about to kill her around that time?And since Haley's distress was mostly caused by her own character flaws rather than any actual threat from Nale, I don't think describing her as a Damsel in Distress is especially accurate either, though Elan certainly envisioned it that way.
