leaving him feeling very unsettled. Several attempts are made by Annie to attract Corcoran to her charms. In their very first meeting in the pilot episode "Surviving Death", he gives her an egg to eat after saving it for a snack while he was on duty. She attempts to thank him by offering her services to "pleasure him" to which he replies no. She again tries to lure him in the conclusion to the episode, "In the Hands of an Angry God." In the evening hour, he finds her in his home and she makes more romantic advances towards him but he reminds her that he doesn't think of her in such a way. The young girl still tries to get Corcoran's attention in "La Tempete", during a formal party gathering hosted by Elizabeth Haverford. She asks a inappropriate question to Corcoran about being prettier that Elizabeth, even to go as far as saying "on the inside." After she is found, chained and escapes from her husband, Mr. John Reilly, she returns to Corky begging him not to let her leave his home. The detective, still seeing Annie as a troubled daughter figure, decides to allow her to stay in his home. Later in the episode, "The Hudson River School", Annie watches Corcoran and Eva having sex late in the night. Unfortunately, this doesn't change her feelings for Corcoran. She believes that she is in love with him. This could be due to her turbulent past of being forced into a life of prostitution early in her childhood and as a result has difficulty forming healthy relationships with adults.
