==Biography==
===Season 1===
She is suffering from post natal depression at the beginning of the series. Her condition is acutely worsened by the sudden death of her daughter Alice. Kelly blames herself for the death, having taken a prescribed sleeping pill on the night Alice died. She attempts suicide, slashing her wrists in the bathroom of her home. Joel returns home early and finds her. He breaks the shower door to feign an accident and calls an ambulance. Teresa Ortiz responds to the call and saves Kelly's life.
Kelly slowly recovers from her depression with the support of her family, including her sister Susan. She is incensed when Internal Affairs Detective Richard Trumper tries to indict Joel for taking a second autopsy report about Alice's death out of her file. Officer Tom Turcotte from Joel's station helps the family to sidestep the charge. Joel hires psychiatrist and lawyer Dr. Michael Hirsch to represent them. Hirsch helps them to finally overcome their grief by revealing to them that Alice died from a brain aneurysm rupture; her death was unavoidable.
===Season 2===
Joel investigates crime boss John Donatoni, leading the mobster to threaten Joel's family. Joel has Kelly and Willie stay with Susan until he has Donatoni behind bars.
She is home safely by Joel's birthday, buying him a shirt and treating him to an intimate moment before work.
