She also has moments of kindness, such as her defense of Peggy to Mrs. Armstrong and her support of Jack's patent.

* DesignatedHero: George Russell is ''full'' of good qualities: he's a [[PapaWolf good father]] and [[HappilyMarried good husband]], but he is also a robber baron that is shown to be crushing (or attempting to crush) unions in Season 2 for challenging his riches, even though they're asking for very low adjustments. Then again, that dichotomy is part of his character; just because you love your family, it doesn't mean you'll care about people who are very far removed from you.
