Who is Liliana?
The eighth season of the show revolves around Daniel Charles’ attempts to steady the ship that is his personal life. He meets several therapists but he doesn’t find one that is suitable for him. Relationship-wise, he doesn’t date anyone either. In the ninth episode of the eighth season, Daniel spends an evening at a bar alone, enjoying a performance by a singer. Captivated by the performance, he introduces himself to the singer, who reveals that her name is Liliana. Daniel tells her that she seems so familiar, only for Liliana to reply that she is a cleaner who works at Gaffney. Daniel must have seen her while she was cleaning his office.
After the encounter, Daniel fails to forget Liliana. He starts to consider dating her but gets worried due to the fact that he is her superior. Daniel doesn’t want Liliana to feel that she is obliged to go out with him only because he is in a superior position. His concern regarding the existing power dynamics between them makes him reconsider his decision. Still, Daniel asks Liliana out on a date and she accepts.
