I really hate it when shows do the whole "redeem the villains" trope because it's been so overused in the past decade, but it does work out for me in the end, most of the time. And in this show's case, Dottie is one of the very few villains I genuinely want to see redeemed. She's got great chemistry with the cast, and works well with them (albeit against her will).

And the most important part, she actually wasn't evil. She believed that Fenhoff's mission for her was a genuine mission from her higher-ups, and when she wasn't fulfilling any missions (such as her downtime at the hotel) she wasn't running rampant, killing people (aside from Otto Mink, but that was self-defense. The loon had a gun on her.) She was just laying low. Presumably, the same can hold true for the break between seasons, since she was hired to rob the bank, rather than do it of her own volition.
