What a pity. When first I read this I misunderstood: I thought she was to be introduced as a man cast member and she and the main character would begin a relationship. That is something I would certainly keep abreast of. But it appears it is simply that episode's storyline and nothing more.
When you think of it even HBO audiences might be turned off by the idea of the main character having a steady relationship with a transwoman.

Ok there might be some hope she'll be introduced as his girlfriend--next season. It's the last paragraph.
