(Tear Jerker)
Line 190:
* [[Mama Bear]]: Protective of her fellow officers, especially after two of them are murdered on orders of Antwon Mitchell. Even after finding out, for sure that Vic Mackey is corrupt and so are his fellow officers on the Strike Team, she cryptically tries to warn Vic "to be careful" during their final meeting.
* [[Team Mom]]/[[Team Dad]]: Has shades of this, team mom because she got much needed money for the barn due to the her seizure program and she fixed the men's bathroom. Team dad because she could really get stern with her subordinates.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Her final fate: she gets removed from her job as Captain for pissing off the Feds when she obtains evidence to invalidate Antwon Mitchell's immunity deal that let him get away with ordering the murders of two patrol officers. She is also told, point blank, that she can file for early retirement or be fired, with any chance of appealing her removal from duty moot as far as the LAPD telling her that the board will be in the pocket of those who want her gone. Oh and she finds out that not only does IAD have nice guy Curtis "Lem" Lemansky dead to rights for stealing drugs from a dealer, but that IAD (who she asked to look into Vic and the Strike Team to make sure they were not dirty) has plans to use Lem to bust the entire Strike Team for corruption charges, Vic Mackey included (a double whammy, as Vic had been her only ally who stuck by her no matter what). In the end, she is alone in her house, drinking a beer, knowing that her career is over and that her she has set in motion the downfall of the only ally she had left.
* [[Too Good to Last]]: Got a lot of fans in the Barn due to the fact she was getting money to fund the place and money to the community, some were sad to see her go.
** Especially on an acting level, as Glenn Close's presence on the show revived a series that came out of a dire third season. FX realized this, so they arranged to sign Glenn Close up for another series ([[Damages]]).
