Andrea and Frankie: the outside professional who reorganises everyone · AND-04
Privacy: entitlement against refusal
The outside professional's private life becomes the group's business, and the group's private lives become hers.
What this relationship type claims
mirrors the subplot of. A secondary strand corresponds while the A-plots differ.
Read from the other side, the same record says has its subplot mirrored by. There is one record here, not two. Chronology rule for this type: Source must predate target. Violation is a hard validation error.

The earlier side
S4E5 converts Lisa's private relationship with Dave into an office investigation precisely because Andrea believes friendship entitled her to know about it.
The research describes this side rather than quoting it, so no exact script anchor is attached. The episode link above still resolves.
The later side
Frankie says her sexuality is nobody's business and that she chooses not to make it part of her public role. S6E6 turns the group's curiosity into a literal betting pool, and Frankie refuses to confirm or refute their categories while insisting it is irrelevant to her job.
“The most important point is, are you prepared to make your sexuality, which is nobody's business, an aspect of your role in society? I know I'm not, so I don't.”

What changes on the way
This is the reversal the mirror exists to show. Andrea converts friendship into a claim on someone else's privacy. Frankie converts the same pressure into a boundary, and the show keeps the question unanswered across five episodes rather than resolving it.
The changed element is part of the evidence rather than noise. A function can move to a different character, a power relation can reverse, several sources can combine, and the same mechanism can produce a different result.
