Re: the transfer, my guess is that it had to do with being able to afford Amy Ryan as well as her other commitments. I think it's one thing to permanently add someone to the cast (e.g. Ed Helms), but Amy Ryan's an Academy Award-winning actress who probably commands a sizable chunk of the show's budget.

That said, I think she's definitely coming back in future episodes, no question about it. There's no real closure on her character and things were left pretty open-ended.
