Well, Im not funny, but it is a great question.

All the major question words are covered, really.

Our elementary-school language-arts teachers would be so proud!

Whois Erin Carter?

Well, wouldnt you like to know.

The answer is twofold, my friends!

When she lifts the dying mans mask, he recognizes her but calls her Kate.

The series doesnt stretch out the mystery too long.

By episode four, theres a flashback in which we get the real answer to this question.

Abandoned by her mother at age 6, Erin/Kate/???

survives a childhood in and out of foster homes and winds up in the police academy.

Shes very good at it!

Oh, and she becomes Erin Carter.

Whyis Erin Carter … surrounded by truly the worst neighbors?

Yeesh, Erin Carter has a lot of bad luck.

Im real Team Penelope by the end of things.

It was the biggest twist of all!

Strings that include putting Erin in the crosshairs of very powerful, very bad people.

Be a better neighbor, Emilio!

Whereis Erin Carter … finding the time to still make lesson plans?

Administrators standing in the way of promotions!

Troublesome kids refusing to take a test and instead drawing dicks all over it!

Doesnt this woman have to deal with enough?

Talk about juggling it all!

Quite the small world, huh?

Suffice it to say, that particular parent-teacher conference is pretty awkward.

Whatis Erin Carter … doing with that shot of adrenaline?

No, seriously … what?

Remember that thing I mentioned about Erin getting shot in the mountains and incredibly surviving?

Well, theres several things happening all at once there, which is sort of Erin Carters whole deal.

Shes actually the one who shoots her and leaves her for dead in the mountains; isnt that special?

Meanwhile, Erin has to, you know, not die.

It does the trick!

Eventually, though, Lena tracks her down.

Now, Lena is no idiot.

They both want to keep Harper safe.

So what do these frenemies decide to do?

Oh baby, theyre teaming up.

Howis Erin Carter … making me cry right now?

Admittedly, Im an easy target, but still.

But here we are!

Erin offers herself up, but Lena wont allow it.

Even with Erins untraditional life plan, she can still do more for Harper.

And so Lena sacrifices herself and dies, taking out almost every one of Daniels minions with her.

Whereis Erin Carter … going now?

Well, its a real TBD.

Jordi is getting used to the fact that his wife is not your average substitute teacher.

Harper seems very well adjusted considering everything.

And then who should show up but good ol DI Jim Armstrong.

You never know what this guy really wants!

Erin turns him down, and hes basically like lol thats so cute and implies hell be in touch.

So,whois Erin Carter really?

They never once tell us her real name.

In the end, she tells her husband to keep calling her Erin.

Maybe it will be a little treat in season two if were good.
