Show was written in a time before streaming, before people could record TV. She was there to explain to the audience, who were assumed to not be aware of the previous episodes, who the bad guys are.

Good point! I had VHS tapes that had been recorded over too much…I often missed half an ep, because I set the timer wrong or I already had a good one and I tried to record a second on the same tape.

The stories which her empathy abilities are more useful don’t make it to the show unfortunately, they’re over too quickly. That’s my theory.
