* SkewedPriorities: Every agent in Graceland seems to have this problem during Season 2's investigation and operations against the Solano Cartel and the dirty cops, at least in relation to an end goal of bringing them down. Unfortunately, the obsessions each agent has makes the drama feel more like an IdiotPlot due to how much they're compromising the investigation for their own needs. One notable example is that Paige the ''DEA agent'' cares less about dealing with the actual ''drug-running'' part of the cartel, and more about the human-trafficking/sex slavery operation that turns out was heavily disapproved by the cartel boss. It gets to a point where she seemingly holds Mike to the same contempt as a human-trafficker for lying about [[spoiler:Lena's death]], without sympathizing with his own time in the traffickers' den.
Added DiffLines:
**Paige's increasingly personal obsession with the human-trafficking operation of the Solano cartel (and Lena, one of the girls she meets in the investigation) in Season 2. [[spoiler: She focuses exclusively on this aspect of the investigation, despite being a DEA agent that should presumably be focused on the ''drug'' part of the cartel's activities. She goes behind Mike's back and uses Brigg's cover to push the dirty cops into massacring the sex-traffickers, nearly killing Mike in the process when he learns that Carlos Sr. actually disapproved of the operation, enough to beat up Carlito (the real brain of that operation) and would have presumably shut it down himself. Despite Mike easily forgiving her for nearly compromising the investigation and killing him, she refuses to let him of the hook for incinerating Lena's body (without even asking for his side of the story). Despite every Graceland member working on the case or on some potentially violent loose end (Charlie seeking out Amber), she continues looking into an irrelevant lead of the cartel case. When she finally hears Mike admit that Lena is dead, she does even ask for details, and chooses to tell the corrupt cop, Markham, where Mike is hospitalized, giving him the opportunity to murder him. Perhaps the worst thing is that Paige's obsession was counterproductive, as the cartel is now led by a new violent and amoral leader, the cartel has a new method of moving drugs through plane drops, and Markham is not arrested and possibly murdered the lead investigator.]]
