She thought that him being unfaithful could ruin her career. Quinn (very different from Olivia and Abby in a creative sense) is working hard to maintain her stature while her husband is being tortured for an attempted murder crime that he did not commit. She is handles the stress and managing crisis management business quite well. In most media films, the woman’s role is more about their appearance and how they handle pain in their lives.
