I don't know why they chose to have Karen sleep with Danny, but what a massive, disgusting mistake from both a character and writing perspective. I was so uncomfortable during that scene. She's twice his age, known him for his whole short life, he's still barely a child, and she's his boss. Karen crossed a major line that she can never get back from, and if her friends and family find out what she did, she should be rightfully shunned from polite society and divorced. She's a sexual predator now, not someone to sympathize with.
I don't know if the writers think they can come back from this, because based on the title of the episode, they knew exactly what they were doing.
