Yes, but we could blame Karen for dismissing Urich's concerns and taking him to the nursing home under false pretenses. Even when he calls her on it, she doesn't back down.
(And don't tell me she didn't expect Fisk to be a murderer. She KNOWS he is, which is WHY she's pushing this. But Ben has been trying to mentor her since the beginning of their partnership on the *smart* ways to do this. She doesn't want to listen, because she thinks the info they can find is too important. So she lies to him. Yes, I can definitely blame Karen for endangering Ben, and dismissing his priorities, and LYING.)
And yeah, I get that that's a cornerstone of Karen's character: she *doesn't back down*, even after people think she's no longer a threat. (Just like Murdocks always get back up.) For good and ill.
But she's such a cypher this season that it's frustrating. Personally, I don't think Karen deserves to know everything she demands to know, particularly when she's trying to hide whatever is in her own history, and I would give a lot to have had more actual bonding moments between her and the avocadoes at law, because most of what you get are just really odd, tense dating/not-dating? scenes between her and Foggy, and lusty/flirty ones between her and Matt. (The drinking the eel night is the only exception I can think of, and about the only reason I can stand Karen at all.)
Also, I'm afraid for next season, because I think she'll take what could be a great character growth moment for Matt--him actually choosing to tell someone about the senses, instead of being backed into it by circumstance (as happened with Claire and Foggy)--and steal that from him by pushing, pushing, pushing. Because she's Karen, and her past is allowed to be a mystery, but nobody else's is. Also, because so far, she's a rotten love interest. I would be more comfortable with the character if they didn't go there.
(Incidentally, I love Claire for saying, nope, not happening. THANK YOU, CLAIRE, FOR BEING BOTH ATTRACTIVE AND SMART. THE KISS WAS GOOD, BUT THE WAY YOU DIDN'T ALLOW IT TO TAKE OVER YOUR BRAIN WAS EVEN BETTER. BUT THEN YOU STILL HELPED MATT OUT. YOU'RE AWESOME!)
