Congresswoman Catherine DeBlass is Sharon DeBlass's paternal aunt. Catherine appears to be a woman who admires her father and has followed in his footsteps. However, it turns out that Catherine is a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her own father. Catherine attempted to forget this abuse, to ignore its affects on her life. However, when Catherine realizes that DeBlass has been abusing Sharon and that he continues to have a sexual affair with her, Catherine can no longer ignore her own abuse. Catherine goes to the city to talk to Sharon about it, but Sharon calls her weak and refuses to accept her advice. A few days later, Sharon is dead. This causes Catherine to have a mental breakdown. Catherine finally calls Dallas and confesses the abuse, giving Dallas what she needs to break the case.
