Evidence to the contrary 

Do you HAVE evidence to the contrary that you're just arbitrarily withholding? If you're arbitrarily withholding evidence that she's not being followed. What would you do if you had evidence she WAS being followed? I mean, you ran a rape-farm so I doubt it would be beyond you to lie. Would you 'Do what you thought was best?' If she was right? What excuse do you have not to tell her?
Dr. Rape Farm "Well, you know, I think it's best to, um, deflect to the peripheral elements of her life because THAT'S what I was trained to do. And if I'm wrong 1. I look stupid as fuck. 2. I would lose all of the money I make treating the misdiagnosis. Bet the psychological enterprise is TOO IMPORTANT for you acknowledge evidence to the contrary."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
