Charlie and Dani in the short term have opportunities (that they take) for anonymous sex.
Which, I must confess, I rather like - both that the sex is anonymous and that it isn't particularly meaningful/fulfilling. In most TV shows (except soap operas, and even them to some extent) protagonists are either celibate or monogamous and faithful, and the days of womanizing heroes have faded away with other sexist notions. But. Human sexuality isn't so simple and there's a certain lack of either realism or imagination in television when everyone acts the same.
But of course they need emotional (and intellectual) as well as physical connections and that's one of the reasons the relationship between Charlie and Dani is so much fun - however you play it. They can be on each other's side.
And the relationship between Charlie and Constance is fun because it's so sparky and charged and significant in ways that go infinitely beyond the sexual, and is still impossible.
Their boss interests me less (so far) but you're right, she is interesting, and I'm hoping she will come to defend Crews in the long run. Even if against her better judgement.
