Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Season 3 of Walker.

Following an interesting plot twist in the latest episodes of Walker, Anna Enger Ritch will seemingly be on the show for a little while longer — and be an asset to the team both on and off the books.

Playing the kidnapped reporter-turned-ally to Cordell Walker (Jared Padalecki) Julia Johnson, the actress has given viewers reasons to want her to stick around. It's unclear how long, but her role has been crucial for Season 3.

Because she's an investigative reporter, it's no surprise that Julia would be an asset to Cordell. The two characters teaming up is also a fresh take on a mystery, especially since the pair started out as strangers and kidnapping victims.

Their collaboration helped in figuring out what was behind their kidnappings, and how much danger Cordell is truly in. Unfortunately, the danger seems to be too big for him to handle alone. Based on how events are panning out, Julia could be there until the end.

Who is Julia on 'Walker'?

Julia was first introduced as a reporter who was clearly fearing for her life in the same facility that Cordell was taken to. After escaping with Cordell's brother Liam (Keegan Allen), she's not spoken of again until Cordell sees her at a luncheon. Her calmness was odd to the ranger, but after a heart-to-heart, the two were seemingly going to part on good terms.

Even though all was well, a mysterious package of energy drinks Cordell received changed everything.

Not only was Julia more than willing to help, but she seemed to be even more helpful after Cordell told her this would be an off-the-books investigation. She also hinted at more moles within the ranger station, which was surprising due to events from Season 2. It was later that the access she has to the Pentagon database helped in finding a pattern as to why Cordell was taken.

Although her "no fear attitude" is entertaining to see considering how she was introduced to viewers, Cordell was not too fond of it when confronting a member of his old army unit. Thankfully, it all worked out in the end, except for the increase in mystery. Based on the information the pair gathered, it was concluded that members of Cordell's unit are being hunted down, with multiple men having already died.

Julia seems to want answers as fast as Cordell, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get them.
