ingrid is a spy?

Ingrid is the newspaper journalist who is working indirectly with Thomas Shaw, printing his leaks in the newspaper she works for.

Ingrid is not the asset that was recruited first by Gerald, who was exposed by Shaw and resettled in the US, then passed on to Daniel Meyer to be handled. You are thinking of the asset who worked at ASP, the tech company that offered protected servers to Ingrid for storing her Shaw information. She's the asset who was recruited when it was discovered that she had embezzled money from her employer, ASP. And she was forced to create that "Magic Date" with her boss, so that Meyer and Hector could get access to his laptop after he had been drugged and passed out. In any case, she was not a real spy. She worked for them only because they threatened to expose her crime to her boss if she did not help them. After the Magic Date, Meyer released her and gave her all the evidence--disks and photos--they'd compiled about her crimes.
