Shalita Grant
What happened to her character and no, she did not get called to New Orleans !
shareSamuel (the black man who has had medical training in his past) helped her and her young son escape to the North, at the end of the first season. He plans to join them soon but that may be complicated, when he finds out that her husband, whom she hasn't seen in many years, has escaped either escaped slavery or was captured as contraband, is looking for her.
But maybe they should look in New Orleans :)
