Theory about the story arc
Spoiler:Spoiler:
"We've worked on a number of Bryan Fuller shows... 'Wonderfalls,' 'Pushing Daisies.' Many of his female protagonists have typically what you would call male names. Chuck was one. Jaye was another," Harberts said. "When we all sat down, of course, the idea was going to be that she was going to have a male name, or typically male name."
So what made it Michael? Harberts said he pitched the name after thinking of female columnist Michael Sneed, who writes for the Chicago Sun-Times, and The Bangles' bassist Michael Steele.

Where is Burnham? Oh she isn't here? Lets talk about Burnham. I refuse to call her Michael. Its stupid. Or am I stupid? Was it explained and I missed it?
