Renee Montoya could easily fill the role of one of Gordon's pals, what with her and partner Crispus Allen of the Major Crimes Unit apparently not playing ball with the rest of the corrupt GCPD either. Despite an early combative relationship, Montoya and Gordon were getting on fine towards the end of the season...besides sleeping with his fiancee.
