Laurence: Miriam is Jack's protege who he unofficially officially gave her permission to go do some questionable things... as a result, she's disappeared, and nobody's seen her for a couple years.
Mads: so we bring her back, and it's quite scary what's happened to her and what's going to happen with her.

WOW, I don't get it: Is she still alive? Missing one arm? And this is supposed to be our Clarice-alike? I don't know if I like it or not. Probably that's the kiss and romance that's "unexpected" as Mads called it before..
And if yes, what does Fuller have in mind? Because obviously Miriam aka Clarice, cannot remain in the series for long. So, we get our "Clarice" for a few more scenes/episodes and that's it?? Meh.. that's lame..Me don't likey.
If that's the case, I tend to believe the series will never touch the novels canon. At least not after SOTL. Crap.

(But I told you so!! Hope I'm wrong though).
P.S. It would be interesting though to find out what happened to her. Just hope it isn't lame
