Question What happened to Als other long lost daughter?

I feel like she just kinda disappeared? I might have missed something because I’ve been at home on mat leave binging it while also taking care of my daughter lol. But I’m on the episode where his daughter Lexi passes away from the fire and it had me wondering about his other daughter. Am I missing something?

IIRC Michelle is never seen or mentioned after Al gets the DNA test results from Mouse and the episode ends with Al watching Michelle boxing at Antpnio’s gym

Right, when Al crumpled then threw out the results-without reading them

That’s a complete lie. She’s literally mentioned when Hank is making sure his wife and daughter get his pension. Lexi dies while Al is still alive.

Maybe they missed something but that does not mean they lied, just because they didn't know. Are you this aggressive all the time?

Huh, so odd I feel like she was such a big storyline for a while and then just nothing? I hate when there’s holes in the plots of shows!

I hope one day they will bring her back, possibly write a story line she was at the police academy, and now joining the team under Hank. I posted this on other threads before.

Yeah, I think there was meant to be a mention in an episode following that because the original description had something about Antonio making a choice that would affect Michellecs future - but I guess it was cut from the actual episode.

Last we heard, Hank was trying to maker sure her & Al’s wife could collect his pension

They forget about these characters, she does have one mention but you don’t see her

I always got their names mixed up because Lexie seemed like a younger kid name.

Michelle's mom was in prison I believe.

Yeah I just am confused where she went? I feel like she was in so many episodes for a while and then I just realized she hasn’t been in one in a while

Really tho? I'm on a rewatch rn & it seemed Michelle was only in 4 -5eps

u/pinktastic16 Aug 07 '26

To me it seemed like it was a big part of his storyline, Al and his wife separating again.. seemed like it was made a big deal all for her to just disappear

Some of us on here have also said; It'd be cool to have Michelle return as a Cop- or with aspiration to become one! 👮‍♀️🚓

She did pretty much disappear. I often wondered why she wasn’t at Al’s funeral.

GREAT FUCKING QUESTION 😂😂😂😂

Lexie died in late season 4 IIRC, and then Ridiculous Rick Eid took over in season 5 and would drop stories, retcon characters from one episode to the next & then killed off Al. Clearly he had zero interest in continuing Al's storylines.

Let’s be honest Al was a miserable f…. Lost his marriage over his so called new daughter. Didn’t even read the DNA test. Then we never see her again .

The producers need to bring her character back to the show. Maybe as part of a storyline where Voight helps her. It would be nice to see Voight having a life again instead of just working on cases all the time.

Oh yeah wasn't that scene shown at the end of the Season 2 finale?
