Kate McReary (born 1980) is a potential love interest of Grand Theft Auto IV protagonist Niko Bellic. She is the sister of Patrick, Francis, Gerald and Derrick McReary, and the daughter and youngest child of Maureen and Mr. McReary. At first, Packie tells Niko to stay away from her, but later encourages Niko to go out with Kate. She holds traditional values, and according to Patrick, "she won't put out". Despite this, you are still given the option to try and join Kate inside.
According to Patrick, Kate witnessed several bloody fights between her brothers; seeing Gerry beating Francis was a traumatic childhood experience for her. Over time she has apparently become accustomed to living close to violent crime, liking Niko despite disapproving of his lifestyle. She plays a pivotal role at the end of GTA IV's story.
Kate is a bit more complicated to date than the other girlfriends. She prefers Niko to wear clothing from Modo, despite many people believing that she prefers clothing from the Russian Shop. Her activities are also limited as well, seeing as how she does not like to go bowling, or see a show at both Perestroika and Split Sides. And as stated before, no matter how many times you try to "try your luck" at the end of a date, you'll never be invited inside because she only considers Niko to be a friend.

Katherine Anne Austen, more commonly known as Kate, is one of the middle section survivors from the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 in 2004. Kate was born in Iowa to an abusive father whom she eventually killed when she was finally of age to run and take care of herself. Kate was pursued for three years by the U.S. Marshall and was in his custody when she crashed on the Island. On the Island, Kate formed strong bonds with Jack and Sawyer, becoming an integral member of the survivors' new society. Resourceful, quick-witted and mysteriously reclusive, she participated in many missions while hiding her troubled past from the rest of the survivors. After her past as a criminal was revealed to everyone by Sawyer she was looked upon differently but eventually was still an important member of the survivors' group and was given a clean slate. Kate helped Jack and Locke blow open the Hatch, helped Claire travel to the Staff with Rousseau and was captured by the Others, along with Jack and Sawyer, as part of Michael's betrayal. While with the Others, Kate and Sawyer were used as leverage to convince Jack to perform surgery on their leader, Benjamin Linus. After Jack called the freighter, Kate and five other survivors managed to escape the Island by using a helicopter, although they were forced to leave everyone else behind when Ben moved the Island. Upon returning, Kate had to take responsibility for Aaron Littleton, pretending he was her son and was forced to deal with her very public trial for murder and other charges, to which she agreed to 10 years' probation. Kate and Jack grew closer and were temporarily engaged until Jack's depression, addiction, and jealousy over a favor she was doing for Sawyer, drove them apart. Kate later confessed the lie to Carole Littleton, telling her about the crash, Claire's pregnancy and disappearance, and to whom Aaron really belonged. Kate wanted to return to the island to find Claire and bring her home to Aaron so, with Jack's help, she boarded Ajira Flight 316 and returned to the Island. Stranded in 1977 with her friends, she worked for the DHARMA Initiative as a mechanic, and was responsible for saving a young Benjamin Linus's life. After the detonation of Jughead by Juliet, she time traveled to her original timeline of 2007 having survived the blast.
Born in 1977 (possibly in Canada, as she states in "Tabula Rasa" that this is her nationality) and raised in rural Iowa, Katherine Anne Austen was raised by her mother, Diane, and Sam Austen, who Kate believed was her biological father. However, her actual biological father was a man named Wayne.
In 1982, aged five, Kate became a child of divorce when Diane and Sam separated. Diane got custody of Kate and married Wayne. Diane began to suffer from domestic abuse, but she still professed that she loved Wayne.
A few years later Kate and her friend Tom Brennan attempted to steal a lunchbox from a small convenience store. She was caught on her way out the door, and the clerk threatened to call the police and her parents. Suddenly a man entered the shop, revealed to be none other than Jacob. Jacob offered to pay for the lunchbox, which satisfied the clerk. Jacob then made Kate promise to never steal again. She agreed and Jacob touched her nose, telling her to, "Be good Katie." ("The Incident, Parts 1 & 2")
In 1989, Kate and her childhood sweetheart Tom Brennan made a time capsule out of the lunchbox and buried it. It contained a recorded message, a toy airplane and a baseball. ("Born to Run")
Kate mentions letting her feet being sunk under the sand by the waves at the beach with her mother when she was a kid. ("Raised by Another")
While making a scrapbook for Sam's birthday, Kate discovered from pictures that Austen couldn't be her biological father as he had been away serving in Korea during the period when she would have been conceived. This horrified Kate as she realized that Wayne was her biological father. Kate decided to take drastic action. After taking out an insurance policy on the house, she orchestrated a devastating gas explosion. On that day, Wayne had returned home and Kate tended to him in a far-from-loving manner. She expressed nothing but contempt when he made advances toward her. Leaving him drunk and asleep in the house, she left as the gas explosion tore the house apart, killing Wayne.
Kate then visited her mother at the diner where she worked. After a conversation where Diane showed her dismay at Kate riding a motorcycle, Kate commented about an injury on her mother's hand that Diane claimed was caused by a shelf in the kitchen (although it was clear to Kate that this had actually been inflicted by Wayne). Kate then handed her mother the insurance policy and told her that she was protecting Diane. Fleeing the scene, she warned Diane that she wouldn't see her for a while and left - forcing Diane to question "What did you do?" After discovering her husband's death, Diane called the police to report the crime and gave her daughter up.
Kate then attempted to flee Iowa, unaware that the authorities were already tracking her and that U.S. Marshal Edward Mars had already been assigned as her primary law enforcement figure in her pursuit. As she attempted to leave for Tallahassee, she engaged in an uncomfortable conversation with Mars, who eventually revealed himself and arrested her for murder as she tried to flee the scene - revealing that her mother had given her up. As the Marshal escorted her to imprisonment, he questioned why she chose to kill her father now but Kate refused to respond. However, the car was forced into a pole as a black horse ran out into the road. With the Marshal unconscious, Kate made a break and began her life on the run.
Kate then went to see the man who she believed to be her biological father at a recruitment office, much to Sam's shock due to the fact that the U.S. Marshals were searching for her. Kate, however, questioned him as to why he didn't tell her about her true lineage, recalling the story of how she discovered Wayne was her father. He recalled that he didn't tell her because he knew she would kill him. He then warned her that he would have to call them and Kate asked for him to give her an hour. He obliged and she fled the scene. ("What Kate Did")
Kate evaded the law for roughly two months before she tried to initiate contact with her mother again. Kate went back to Iowa, but her car broke down from a bad fan belt before she could get to Diane. The mechanic took her to the local repair station, where Kate witnessed Cassidy Phillips trying to sell fake jewelry to local people. When one man threatened to call the police, Kate interrupted and purchased one of the fake necklaces. After the men left, Cassidy thanked Kate for her help. However, she detected that Kate didn't want police attention herself. Cassidy offered to take Kate into town to buy her a drink, which Kate accepted. ("Left Behind")
At the bar, Kate told Cassidy of killing her father, her escape from the marshal and how her mother had told the police. Cassidy offered to help Kate get a meeting with Diane, due to her own betrayal by a man who conned her and stole all the money she had. Kate questioned why Cassidy wanted to help her, and she replied that one of them deserved something good. Wanting to test how much security was around Kate's mother, Cassidy disguised herself as Kate and knocked on Diane's door. Believing it was Kate, many agents attacked Cassidy. Down the road, Kate observed the situation through binoculars and realized it would be a challenge to meet with her mother. ("Left Behind")
Hours later, Cassidy returned to a motel, where she and Kate were staying. Angered by her half-hour questioning, Cassidy demanded to know what Kate did. She confessed that she killed Wayne, her father, by blowing up his house, but took out an insurance policy on it beforehand, which would have set up her mother for life financially. The reason why Kate wanted to meet her mother was because she wanted to know why Diane had betrayed her, when she only tried to help. Now knowing the whole story between Kate and her mother, Cassidy agreed to continue helping her. The next day, Cassidy ordered a meal from the diner where Kate's mother worked and purposely spilled her meal on Diane. She remained polite and went to clean up in the toilets. Diane found Kate there, and she asked her mother why she had reported her. Despite Wayne's abuse, Diane defended him, claiming that you can't help who you fall in love with. Kate stated she wasn't sorry, and Diane warned Kate if she ever came near her again, she would yell for help. She left the tearful Kate in the bathroom to herself. ("Left Behind")
Later that day, Cassidy gave Kate a lift back to her fixed car. She thanked Cassidy for all the help but asked her for the name of the man who conned her. However, Cassidy revealed she was pregnant and he was the father. Kate still advised her to call the police. Before parting ways, Kate told Cassidy her real name. ("Left Behind")
Later, Kate learned via a letter that her mother was hospitalized and dying of cancer. Though she had sworn never to return to Iowa, she sought the help of her childhood sweetheart, Tom Brennan, who was also a doctor at Diane's hospital, to gain access to her mother before her death. Before visiting her mother, Kate and Tom dug up their time capsule and retrieved Tom's toy airplane from inside. When Diane saw Kate, she kept her word and screamed for help to the nearby security guards, forcing Kate to attempt another escape. Against Kate's objections, Tom insisted on going with her in his car. Tom was killed in the subsequent shootout between Kate and the police. Kate fled on foot, leaving behind Tom's cherished toy airplane. ("Born to Run")
Still on the run, Kate attempted to assume a new life by relocating to Florida under the alias Monica. She fell in love with a police officer named Kevin Callis. Callis did not know her true identity, or anything about the life she was living. At some point during the relationship, Kevin proposed to Kate. Believing she was truly happy, Kate accepted his proposal. On her wedding day, she was visited by Suzanne Callis, Kevin's mother. After commenting how beautiful Kate looked, she presented her a precious locket that had been passed down through the family. However, since she had only sons, Suzanne thought Kate should have it. A few hours later, Kate and Kevin married.
After settling down with Kevin, Kate realized this was the life she wanted. So Kate called the marshal and begged him to stop chasing her. He guessed she was married and told her it wouldn't work, due to her nature of running out on people if life got difficult. Although she hated Edward Mars, Kate realized he was right, the relationship couldn't continue because her past would eventually catch up with her.
One night, during dinner, Kevin surprised Kate with an overseas honeymoon to Costa Rica, which would require a valid passport, which Kate didn't have. Soon after this, Kate detected that she may be pregnant. After revealing a negative result on the pregnancy test, Kate decided to confront Kevin. Kate presented him with a spiked lemonade and joked about being a fugitive, she then turned serious and told Kevin how she blew up her abusive father and it would only be a matter of time before he found out. He was left speechless and didn't know if it was a joke. Kate told him about the pregnancy and how she couldn't do regular things like have a "taco night". When he tried to calm her down, he called her Monica. Kate snapped that this wasn't her real name and began to leave. Kevin collapsed due to the spiked drink. After tearfully revealing some of the truth about her history, Kate left the unconscious Kevin and took up life on the run once again. ("I Do")
In a later attempt to taunt Kate, Mars informed her that he had Tom's toy airplane in a safety deposit box in a Ruidoso, New Mexico bank. Kate then traveled to New Mexico, took the name "Maggie" and joined up with a group of bank robbers. She became romantically involved with one of them named Jason, and convinced the gang to rob the bank where the toy airplane was stored. ("Whatever the Case May Be")
The heist started with Kate (as "Ms. Ryan") applying for a loan to a senior employee named Mark Hutton. He asked Kate what brought her to New Mexico. She told him she was a photographer, taking pictures of old theaters in small towns. After talking for some time, Jason and the robbers invaded the bank. They shot all the security cameras and made staff and customers, including Kate, stay down on the floor. After pondering what to do, the robbers demanded the security key from Hutton. On the floor, one of the bank-goers told Kate he thought he could take one of the robbers. The man disarmed a robber, whose gun then slid along the floor, towards Kate. She picked up the gun, stood up and aimed at the robbers. The man instructed Kate how to use it but she claimed to have never used a gun before. However, when she attempted to fire, the gun would not. Jason then grabbed Kate by the neck, and took her to the office.
Once in the office, Jason and Kate kissed. After discussing what they would do next, Jason smacked her across the face, to make it look like there had been a struggle. He then took Kate to Hutton, and told him if he didn't give him the key, Kate would be killed. After counting to three, Hutton handed over the key. The three headed into the vault, where Jason told the manager their plan, and how Kate was responsible for the whole thing. Jason then pointed the gun at Hutton. However, Kate never intended for anyone innocent to get hurt and grabbed the other gun. She aimed at Jason and made an ultimatum that if he shot Hutton, Kate would shoot him. After Jason made to shoot Hutton, Kate did shoot him in the leg, as well as the two other robbers. With the robbers injured the manager gave Kate the key to the safety deposit box. She had the other key to go with it and she opened the box. It contained a small toy airplane, which previously belonged to Tom Brennan. She left the other members of the gang behind and escaped the scene. ("Whatever the Case May Be")
Kate then fled to Australia, where she stayed at a farm owned by Ray Mullen for nearly three months. She was planning to subsequently travel to Bali, Indonesia. ("Hearts and Minds") Mullen eventually noticed Kate's wanted poster at the post office, and attempted to turn her in to Edward Mars for a reward of $23,000 dollars, which he intended to use to pay off his mortgage debts.
Kate discovered the plan, but when her escape attempt endangered Mullen's life, she chose to save his life rather than make her escape. Mars consequently captured Kate and prepared to extradite her to the U.S. aboard Oceanic Flight 815. ("Tabula Rasa")
During the turbulence that preceded the crash of Flight 815, Kate's captor, US Marshal Edward Mars, received a head injury caused by falling baggage. Kate unlocked the handcuffs securing her by stealing the keys from the unconscious Mars before the plane crashed.
One of Kate's first acquaintances post-crash was Jack, who had just finished tending to the injuries of some of the other survivors, and needed Kate's assistance in stitching one of his own wounds. This meeting was the beginning of her involvement in what would become the core subgroup, composed of herself, Jack, Locke, Sayid, and Sawyer, who later were to participate in the most significant adventures of the survivors.
Kate's first island adventure, with Jack and Charlie, was the quest to retrieve the cockpit's radio transceiver, in the hope of obtaining rescue. During the expedition, they were attacked by the Monster for the first time. Kate also showed for the first time her habit of going back for fallen comrades.
Once the transceiver had been obtained, it needed to be repaired, then brought to higher ground for better reception. These needs led to her meetings with Sayid, who had technical expertise, as well as Shannon, Boone, and Sawyer. During their hike they were charged by a polar bear, which Sawyer killed with a pistol. Kate was suspicious, demanding to know where the gun came from. He replied that it had come from a US marshal, and she was quick to seize the gun while he was momentarily distracted. She feigns ignorance of how to handle a gun, fooling Sayid who tells her how to dismantle it, but not Sawyer, who grabs her wrist and tells her that he "knows her type". She listened, later on, to the chilling distress signal that appeared to have been running for sixteen years. ("Pilot, Part 2")
On the return hike and after a dispute between Boone and Sawyer, the group opted to let Kate carry the gun. She was clearly reluctant, but since the group trusted her, she accepted the responsibility. This would later cause trouble with Hurley, who had seen Kate's mug shot, and further deepened his paranoia of her. Later she went to see the dying Marshall, who attacked her, which aggravated his already severe internal injuries. Jack interfered, saving Kate. At her suggestion that the Marshall be killed out of mercy, rather than let him suffer a slow death, Jack revealed that he has seen her mug shot, then spat out that he was "not a murderer". Kate was shocked, but made no attempt to defend herself or deny any wrongdoing. Later she talked with Sawyer, who remarked that he was grateful that she had taken the gun, relieving him of the burden of using it to put the Marshall out of his misery. Ironically enough, she later asked him to take the gun and do just that, and he agreed. Later Kate spoke with Jack, saying she wanted to tell him what she had done, but he refused, saying they all deserved a chance to "start over".
Later, when Kate set out on a mission to triangulate the distress signal, Jack asked Kate if she was going on the mission to catch boars. To which she replied "I'm a vegetarian". She later helped and injured Michael back to camp, and broke the news to Jack that they had lost Locke to the Monster. (though later Locke would turn up just fine and with a boar for dinner)
After the discovery of the caves and its dead inhabitants, Jack and Kate disagreed about moving the entire camp to the caves. Kate told him, "I don't want to be Eve", alluding to two of the corpses found, and she stayed behind with the group at the beach.
A few days later while out gathering plantains, Kate encountered Sawyer on the beach. His crude comments were a quick turnoff, however, and she left. Later on she tried to talk him into handing over Shannon's asthma medicine, he became angry and ordered her to read his letter, apparently written to Sawyer by a child whose parents had died in a murder-suicide, to which he was directly linked. Despite this she protested Jack and Sayid's decision to torture him into giving up the medicine, and finally she accepted Sawyer's request for a kiss in exchange for the medicine. Later as he recovered from a knife wound (courtesy of an enraged Sayid), Kate re-read the letter and came to the startling conclusion that it was Sawyer himself who wrote the letter. He told her the truth of his tragic past, and the murder of his parents. When she seemed inclined to be compassionate, he abruptly became angry and ordered her out of the tent. ("Confidence Man")
After Claire and Charlie were kidnapped by Ethan, Kate and Jack went together in pursuit of them. They had a short confrontation with Ethan, then discovered Charlie hanging from a banyan tree, apparently dead, although Jack managed to revive him after an extended resuscitation attempt, during which Kate broke down into tears and pleaded with him to stop. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")
Later Kate was out fruit-gathering in the jungle when she became aware that she was being followed. She responded by hurling a rock into the bushes behind her. Sawyer limped out, swearing and protesting that he was only protecting her. As they walked through the jungle, they discover a waterfall with a large swimming hole at its base. They discovered a pair of bodies under the falls, still strapped to the airline seats. As Sawyer checked the bodies, Kate discovered the Marshal's Halliburton case, and Sawyer helped her free it. As she tried to open it without success, having no key, Sawyer quickly deduced it wasn't hers, and she allowed him to take it. Later that night, Kate attempted to steal the case from his tent as he slept. She headbutted him and escaped his grip, but was unable to grab the case. Frustrated, she demanded he give it to her, and he refused.
She later managed to snatch the case as Sawyer attempted to break it open by dropping it from a height onto a rocky outcropping. A chase ensued with Sawyer managing to outwit Kate, catching her. After a brief struggle(during which Sawyer was headbutted again) he offered to give up the case if only she revealed its contents, but she refused. Kate then told Jack about the guns, and recruited him to exhume Edward Mars's body to recover the key to the case. Kate tried to hide the key and lie to Jack, but like Sawyer she underestimated him, and he discovered her duplicity. Jack was able to retrieve the case from Sawyer, who warned him about Kate's dishonesty. They opened the case in the caves, and Jack discovered Kate's toy airplane. When she refused to tell him about it, he became angry and forced her to reveal the truth, and she cried out that it belonged to a man she loved, and killed. Jack left her sobbing miserably.("Whatever the Case May Be")
Some time later Kate helped Sawyer track a rogue boar, which had seemed to have taken a particular interest in his belongings. She doesn't help him without a price, however, asking in exchange anything from his stash at any time. They bonded over a drinking game of "I Never", during which they revealed quite a bit about each other, including the fact that Kate had been married and had "never had a one night stand". She pushed Sawyer too far, however, over the issue of his letter, and he forced her to reveal that she had murdered a man. He then indicated his own murder of Frank Duckett, and they shared a silent moment. The next day Kate witnessed Sawyer's confrontation with the boar, and his decision to spare its life. ("Outlaws")
Kate was present in the caves when Locke returned from an alleged hunting trip with a severely injured Boone. Jack sent her back to the beach camp to retrieve Sawyer's alcohol stash, which he readily handed over. On her way back she discovered Claire, who had gone into labor. Torn between staying to help the young mother-to-be and completing her vital errand, she shouted for help, alerting Jin at the beach. He took the supplies to Jack while Kate stayed behind, giving Claire the encouragement and help she needed to deliver her son, Aaron.
Her relations with Sawyer became strained when she tried to wheedle her way into getting his spot on Michael's raft. Sawyer angrily confronted her and threatened that if she persisted, he would reveal her secret fugitive status to the group. Undeterred, she smugly responded "I want your spot, I'll get your spot." After Michael accused Sawyer of poisoning him, Sawyer seized Kate's backpack, upending it and showing the group Kate's stolen passport, accusing her of the deed. Kate stood up for herself, admitting she was indeed the Marshal's prisoner, but passionately denied poisoning Michael. While everyone might have believed this, the knowledge that she was a fugitive from justice made everyone distrustful of her. Later it was revealed that while it really was Kate's idea, it Sun who was behind the actual poisoning, but Jin had been the intended target. Kate and Sawyer had a somber talk by the main campfire in which they seemed to come to a mutual understanding. Kate gently wished him well, but they parted on less than friendly terms. ("Born to Run") Later Kate looked for Sawyer to say goodbye, but he had left to cut down bamboo for a new mast. Likewise he looked for her at the raft's launching, but she had already left on the mission to the Black Rock.
At the Black Rock, Kate witnessed Arzt exploding. Kate and Jack disagreed on who was to carry the dynamite, but Locke intervened with the suggestion of drawing straws. Kate won out, but Jack deceived her and gave her the empty pack, taking the dynamite himself. On the way back to the Hatch, Kate threw dynamite down the hole in the ground to free Locke, who was being dragged underground by the Smoke Monster. She witnessed the dynamite exploding on the Hatch. ("Exodus, Part 2")
After the mysterious hatch was opened, Jack and Locke came to blows over whether the hatch should be abandoned claiming that they couldn't get everyone down the shaft due to the broken ladder, a claim which was not aided by Kate discovering "Quarantine" written on the Hatch door. The group decided to head back to the caves before making a decision, and while they traveled, Kate questioned Locke on why he wanted to go down the hatch so badly, but Locke reminded her of the unnatural tendencies of the island. Upon arriving at the caves, Locke decided to descend the shaft, and Kate told him that she was planning on doing so with him. Being the lighter of the two, Kate agreed to go down first and after she was harnessed in by Locke and his contraption made of cable she started the descent (reiterating 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as she did so. However, the cable came loose forcing her to drop to the bottom, as a florescent light emitted up the shaft. In order to find her Locke, and later Jack, came down the Hatch. ("Man of Science, Man of Faith")
In the hatch Kate, and later Locke, are discovered by the man living in it - Desmond Hume. Instantly suspicious of the two, he ordered Kate to tie up Locke upon his arrival. However, Locke used his knowledge of Kate's past to their advantage, telling Desmond that she was a fugitive and more dangerous. Therefore, Kate's hands and bare feet were tied up and she was locked in the Swan station's pantry. Inside the pantry, she freed herself using a knife that Locke had slipped her and escaped the room via the air vents where she witnessed Jack's entry into the Swan as he came face to face with a man from his past. ("Adrift")
The distraction of Locke was enough to allow Kate to drop from the air vents and into the armory where she armed herself. She approached Desmond and hit him with the butt of her gun, forcing him to the floor, but not without firing a bullet before he did so. In this mêlée the Swan computer was damaged, a computer which Desmond previously explained must have The Numbers entered in it every 108 minutes in order to save the world. Not wanting to test Desmond's beliefs, Kate raced to find Sayid to fix it. After assisting in the reparations of the computer, it became a shared secret between the survivors with Kate being a key feature in it's running. ("Orientation")
The following day, Kate and Hurley were on shift in the Swan and she awoke him from his slumber as the time to enter the numbers approached. She reminded him of the numbers, which were written on a post-it note, unaware of the irony of the situation. Later, an awkward moment ensued between Jack and Kate when his and Sayid's explorations of the Hatch led him upon a towel-clad Kate following her sulfur-odored shower. That night, as Hurley distributed the food, she and the rest of the camp enjoyed a decent meal. ("Everybody Hates Hugo")
Kate's bond with Sun developed as she helped her in searching for her wedding ring. An attempt to reassure her everything would be alright forced Sun to confess about the message bottle that Claire found. Upon digging up the bottle, Kate began siphoning through the messages, but was stopped, but professed that she never got to say goodbye to Sawyer, but soon noticed Sun's ring in the sand. ("...And Found")
The next morning Kate, Charlie, and Hurley played golf on the beach, one of Kate's hits nearly striking Jack as he gathered water. He challenged her to a round on the golf course, to which she agreed. As she followed Jack into the jungle to find a missing ball, she was shocked to see Eko come out of the trees with an injured and unconscious Sawyer strewn across his shoulders, after his gun shot wound from one of the Others on board the raft. After rushing him back to the Hatch and its supply of medicine, Kate helped Jack stabilize Sawyer. After Sawyer fought Jack's attempt to give him a pill, she held him and was able to coax him into taking the medicine. As the Tailies and the Rafties joyfully reunited on the beach, Kate stayed by the side of a seriously ill and delirious Sawyer, comforting him and saying "You're gonna be all right. You're home".("Collision")
Kate watched Sawyer, depriving herself of rest in her efforts to tend to him. Jack finally had to convince Kate to go into the jungle to get fruit for Sawyer to eat, where she saw a black horse, similar to the horse that allowed her to escape Edward Mars. Confused, she returned to the Swan to tend to Sawyer while the rest of the camp went to Shannon's funeral. Jack tried to convince her to go, but Kate insisted that she was well enough to keep watch over Sawyer. As she prepared a fruit mash for him, Sawyer began to mumble in his sleep. Thinking perhaps he was coming out of his delirium, she leaned in to talk to him. He suddenly seized her by the throat and shouted "Why did you kill me?" Kate fled the Swan in terror and confusion, leaving Sawyer and the Hatch unattended.
After a brief conversation with Charlie, a disturbed Kate was found by Jack and he angrily confronted her for leaving the Hatch, and scoffed at her apology. Kate fired off an angry retort and tried to leave, but Jack physically restrained her, and she unexpectedly kissed him. Shocked over her actions, Kate fled into the jungle, leaving a baffled Jack in her wake.
After a conversation with Sayid over whether or not the two of them were crazy for seeing things that shouldn't be there, Kate then returned to the Hatch to face her demons. She approached Sawyer, then began to speak to him as though she believed that Wayne was somehow manifesting through him. She alluded to killing him because she hated him, not because he abused her mother or that he had made advances on her, but that he was a part of her and that because of that, she would never be or have anything good. She then angrily went on to say that his memory now tainted her thoughts whenever she looked at, and felt something, for Sawyer. Then "Wayne" was gone, leaving Sawyer who wryly remarked "That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard, but who the hell's Wayne?". Though relieved and happy, Kate was still rueful when she told him that they were still stranded on the island. Later Kate helped Sawyer walk outside for some air, and after some light flirting, Sawyer and Kate both saw theblack horse. As he looked on, Kate approached the horse, and shared a silent exchange as Kate made peace with her past. ("What Kate Did")
Unaware of Michael's discovery on the computer the previous day (when Walt communicated with him), Kate agreed to swap her shift with Michael at the computer. Later, she gave Sawyer a well needed haircut. ("The 23rd Psalm")
A few days later, Kate went with Sawyer to the Hatch so Jack could tend his bandages, where they found Jack and Locke, imprisoned by Michael before departing for The Others' camp to find his son. After freeing them, Jack told the group that he planned to initiate a hunting party, to which all four of them agreed to go on. With unexpected anger, Jack told Kate to stay behind when she asked for a gun, saying that someone needed to stay and man the button. They left without her. Determined to help, and possibly to prove herself, Kate tailed the group of three, but was soon caught by Pickett and taken hostage.
During a confrontation between the hunting Party and the bearded Other, both Michael and Kate were held (Kate unaware Michael was there due to the bag on her head.) Kate was gagged and her hands were tied up. In order to force the group to surrender their guns, the man ordered "Alex" to bring her out (however Alex refused to do so and Pickett did instead.) Jack was incensed at Kate's apparent disobedience, and for a tense moment it looked as though he might let Kate be murdered. At the last second, however, Jack relented, and Tom shoved Kate towards Sawyer, who freed her from her bonds. Jack barely spoke to Kate afterward. After the group returned, Jack left Kate at her tent without a word as he went in search of Ana-Lucia. Sawyer was sympathetic, telling her he would have done the same thing himself.("The Hunting Party")
After Charlie apparently kidnapped Aaron proclaiming he needed to save him, Kate stayed with a worried Claire and warned off Charlie when he tried to approach them, telling him that seeing the child probably wasn't the best idea. She later watched the confrontation between Charlie and Locke as he tried to save Aaron once more. ("Fire + Water")
Kate was by Sawyer's side to help with his physical therapy. During one of these sessions, Sawyer could not help but point out that Jack was now seemingly inseparable from Ana-Lucia, while he was still giving Kate the cold shoulder. ("Fire + Water")
She later came by to lend Sawyer a show of support after Jack ransacked Sawyer's tent looking for a bottle of pills that he had taken for himself. They heard screams in the jungle and rushed to investigate, finding Sun knocked unconscious, after an attempted abduction by an unknown assailant(later revealed to be Charlie). Kate and Sawyer took it upon themselves to investigate the scene of the crime. They hunted for clues and Sawyer reported that it wasn't The Others who kidnapped her, as Ana Lucia had theorized, due to the use of different bags. He asked her who would have the motivation into scaring 46 people into joining an army? They returned to camp, and as Sun awoke, Kate watched on believing this to be a ploy by Ana Lucia to get the guns and form her army.
Tensions between Jack, Locke, Ana Lucia and Kate came to a head as everyone theorized over who was behind the scam as three warning shots were fired. Sawyer then revealed that the whole elaborate con had been his doing(though for whatever reason the assault on Sun was never linked to Sawyer's theft of the guns or the medicine). Kate later approached Sawyer and angrily reproached him for playing everyone, and using her. He replies "You run, I con. Tigers don't change their stripes." She tells him that she knows it's not about the guns, it's that he only wants people to hate him. He responds that it's a good thing she doesn't hate him, but she gives him a parting glare that indicates otherwise, leaving Sawyer to wonder if he'd alienated her after all. ("The Long Con")
Later, when Claire began having memory flashes from the time she was kidnapped by Ethan, Kate took it upon herself to help her find Rousseau. After finding her, Rousseau agreed to help for her own reasons. They find the station, and while Claire and Rousseau search for vaccines, Kate made an odd and important discovery: several lockers, containing the Others' trashy costumes, and a fake beard. Kate does not reveal this information to Jack, still angry from his prior rejection. ("Maternity Leave")
The following day, after Sun suspected herself to be pregnant, Kate sat with her while waiting for the results to become clear. During this wait Sun asked Kate if she had ever taken a pregnancy test and Kate admits that she had. Their discussion was interrupted when the time had elapsed and they discovered Sun to be pregnant. After consulting Jack, Sun made them promise to keep it a secret and they agreed, but Jack warned her that she would tell Jin the whole truth. He then left for the hatch, irony in his words as he himself had not told Kate the whole truth and she remained blissfully ignorant about the situation in the hatch. ("The Whole Truth")
Kate participated in a friendly game of Texas Hold 'Em with Hurley and Sawyer, but she pulled out of the game, preferring to watch, when the competition heated up as Jack and Sawyer decided to "put their mangoes where their mouths are." Later, Kate caught up with him on his trek back to the hatch. She told him she wanted to take a shower at the hatch, but Jack told her that a pipe had burst, providing no running water. Kate had little time to question this as a flashing beacon in the distance grabbed their attention. Eventually, they both came across a large pallet filled with foods. Further more, they were interrupted from their discovery when Sayid, Charlie and Ana Lucia returned from their journey with the truth about "Henry Gale". Kate joined them in the hatch as they confronted the prisoner, this being the first time she had heard of or laid eyes on the man. ("Lockdown")
Kate was forced to hold her questions as she helped Locke deal with his injuries following the Lockdown procedure. She then left for the beach to collect some crutches for Locke where she ran into Sawyer after the beating delivered to him by Hurley, out of revenge for all the nicknames he had adorned on him. She was concerned, but also amused that someone has finally knocked him down a few pegs. ("Dave")
The following day, Jack asked Kate to join him in a journey to "the line", where he planned to force a trade with the Others, Ben for Walt. During the trek, Kate thanked him for asking her along, to which he responded "I only asked you because Sayid wouldn't come." When Kate saw a baby doll in the jungle, despite Jack's warning, she picked it up triggering a net trap in which Jack and Kate were both caught. The situation became increasingly awkward as the two tried to disable the trap. Her attempt to shoot the trap failed, but Jack succeeded, as they both fell to the jungle floor.
As night fell, the two continued their trek and Kate confessed to Jack of the discovery of the Staff station during her trek with Claire and Rousseau and also told him of what she found inside (such as the ragged clothes and the fake beard.) Jack, annoyed, asked why she had kept him from this, to which Kate responded that she had been left out of the circle, as they had captured one of "them" and decided not to tell her. Their discussion was interrupted as they arrived at the line. As night fell and as they waited by a fire, Kate apologized for kissing him, to which he replied "I'm not.". Then a rustling in the bushes caught their attention and eventually Michael emerged, dazed and delirious. ("S.O.S.")
Following his arrival, Kate attempted to check Michael for injuries, but Jack began to push into the jungle, searching for any pursuit. Kate tried to insist that he was alone. The two slung Michael's arms over their shoulders and brought him back to the Swan where they enlisted Locke to help them (Locke, however, was slightly distracted by some ominous news from the prisoner.) Kate remained at his side until he awoke some time later, and she listened as Michael informed that that "they could take them." Deciding a confrontation with the Others was the only way to survive, Kate, Locke and Jack left the hatch to get the guns from Sawyer, unaware of the deadly aftermath leaving Ana Lucia and Michael alone with the prisoner would bring. ("Two for the Road")
After attempting to get the guns back from Sawyer, it was discovered that Ana Lucia had stolen his pistol. The three quickly made tracks for the Hatch, Kate breaking up an argument along the way. However, they were too late as Michael stumbled out of the hatch with a gunshot to his arm. They all rushed inside to find Ana Lucia and Libby dead, and "Henry" escaped following the day's events.
Kate proclaimed Ana Lucia dead, but she was forced into action as it was revealed that Libby was still alive, but in shock. As Sawyer volunteered the heroin in his stash to aide in easing Libby's pain, Jack ordered Kate to go with him in order to find out the whereabouts of his stash, and therefore the guns. Despite the awkward situation in which Jack had put her, Sawyer allowed her to accompany him. As they trekked to retrieve the heroin she questioned him on how Ana Lucia had gotten his gun, but received no answer. Kate is shocked, and impressed, to discover that Sawyer's stash had been hidden all this time under his own tent. They bumped into Hurley on their way out, and Kate broke the heart-wrenching news to her friend. ("?")
Unaware of Michael's traitorous intentions to help the Others, Kate agreed to join the squad of five survivors, that he had suggested to rescue Walt from the Others. Along the way Kate warns Sawyer off a doll, which was bait for one of Rousseau's traps. This leads to the pair discussing the actual meaning of "caught in a net", and when Sawyer said he thought Jack meant "something else", Kate asked with some incredulity when he and Jack had started talking about her.
Later Kate spotted the Others tracking them along their trek. She quickly recruited Sawyer and they opened fire on the trailing party, with Sawyer killing one. Kate was ready to track down the surviving Other, but then Jack revealed that he knew of Michael's plan to betray them. Despite knowing the truth of their quest, the five kept moving, and Kate later spotted the capsule dump, where they were ambushed and captured. They were taken to Pala Ferry, where after Michael exchanged his own friends for his son's and his own freedom. After Hurley was freed to take the message back to the castaway's camp, Kate and her friends were taken away as prisoners of the Others. Kate and Sawyer looked to Jack before bags were put over their heads. ("Live Together, Die Alone")
Kate's first experience as a prisoner at the Others' base was awakening to find a bandage on her arm from an apparent blood sample. Tom then told her to shower. She was then made to wear a sundress, and was taken to eat breakfast with Ben, during which she demanded to know where Jack and Sawyer were being held, then she was told that the next two weeks were going to be very unpleasant.("A Tale of Two Cities")
Kate was then imprisoned in a large animal cage, across from a similar cage holding Sawyer. She is at first terrified, but Sawyer makes an effort to reassure her, and willingly shares food with her. Kate and Sawyer were forced to work daily in inhumane conditions at a quarry, overseen by a belligerent Pickett. During their work, Sawyer kissed Kate then turned the tables on the Others when they tried to separate the pair. A successful escape attempt was near at hand, only to be foiled by Juliet, who held a gun to Kate. ("The Glass Ballerina")
Later Kate and Sawyer were witness to the return of Colleen Pickett's ill-fated mission, during which she was fatally wounded. Kate was appalled at Sawyer's pleasure that one of their people had committed murder on an Other, but he told her it was "every man for himself". Pickett, bitter at Colleen's death, came out to take his grief out on Sawyer. As Pickett beat him savagely, he angrily asked Kate if she loved him. Distraught, she attempted to shield Sawyer as best she could. ("Every Man for Himself")
Juliet persuaded Kate to try and convince Jack to perform surgery on Ben, warning her that Pickett intends to murder Sawyer. She was taken to his cell, and after a brief reunion, Kate told Jack that he had to perform Ben's surgery or Sawyer would be killed. He became incensed, and flatly refused in spite of her tearful pleas.
That evening, Kate and Sawyer argued over her decision to tell Jack to operate on Ben in order to save Sawyer, and fed up with his disinterest in escape, she climbed out of her cage and broke the lock on his, entering the cage. Sawyer then revealed to her that they were on a different island than their own, and that escape was virtually impossible. The two of them had sex.
The next morning, Pickett and Jason came to execute Sawyer. They attempted to fight back, and Sawyer managed to pin Pickett, but Kate was overpowered and held at gunpoint. Pickett ordered Sawyer to give up or Kate would die as well. Kate desperately pleaded for his life, but Pickett was determined to carry out his revenge. At the last moment, Pickett was interrupted by a call from Tom on his walkie-talkie. He ordered Pickett to allow Kate to speak with Jack. Jack was holding Ben hostage during surgery, and told Kate to take Sawyer and escape. ("I Do")
Kate and Sawyer both overpowered their captors, and after locking them both in Sawyer's cage, they fled the Hydra station. Once they reached the beach and saw the main island, they realized they would need a boat. Their salvation came in the form of Alex, who rescued them from Pickett and his team. In exchange for Alex's boat, she asked that they help free her boyfriend Karl, who was being held captive and brainwashed in a complex nearby. Their gun out of bullets, Kate came up with a plan to fool and overpower the guard at the door. They freed Karl, but not before Kate had to snap Sawyer out of a daze, who was becoming mesmerized by the brainwashing effects of the room. Before leaving, Kate spoke to Jack on a walkie, who told her never to come back for him. Kate tearfully pleaded with Jack to no avail. With that, Sawyer and Kate set off back to the main island, accompanied by Karl, who faced death if he stayed with Alex. ("Not in Portland")
As they rowed back to the mainland, Kate became agitated, insisting that Jack should not be left behind a prisoner of the Others. Sawyer flatly refused to go back, then rowed into shore despite her assertion that they should continue til they reached camp, so they could tell Locke and Sayid what had happened. When they found Karl after he had disappeared, she wanted to comfort him over his loss, but Sawyer gently refused and spoke to Karl himself. After he allowed him to go free, Kate became upset with what she saw as a tactical blunder, saying Karl could have led them to the Others so they could free Jack. Sawyer became angry and accused her of only sleeping with him out of pity, an accusation that clearly hurt her. The next day as she tended to an injury on his foot, she tried to smooth things over, give them both a clean slate, but Sawyer refused to apologize.
Adamant that Jack be rescued, Kate left the camp soon after her return. Later in the jungle, Sayid and Locke caught up with Kate as she searched for Danielle, who was also successfully recruited. Kate told her of the teenage girl, Alex, who had helped her escape, stating that she was certain that she was Rousseau's long-lost daughter. ("Tricia Tanaka Is Dead")
Traveling north they found the Flame station, inhabited by Mikhail Bakunin who told them that he was the last member of the DHARMA Initiative. Sayid and Kate were suspicious of him, and after a fight she knocked Mikhail out with the butt of her rifle. After the unintentional destruction of the station by Locke, Kate and her group took Mikhail prisoner and continued their mission. ("Enter 77")
Using maps found by Sayid at the station, the team made it to a sonic barrier surrounding the barracks. Locke pushed Bakunin into the barrier to his apparent death, to Kate's horror. After this, they used a chopped-down tree to surmount the barrier and proceeded to the barracks, with Kate being the first to get to the other side. Reaching the Barracks, Kate saw Jack running towards them and tried to catch his attention, but was held back by Sayid. They were astonished to find Jack was playing a friendly game of football with the Others. ("Par Avion")
That evening, she sneaked into Jack's house where she found Jack playing the piano. Jack told her to leave, warning her that he was under surveillance. Too late, the Others stormed the house and captured her and Sayid while Jack stood by and watched, refusing to help. Jack came to see her, admitting that he'd made a deal with Ben to escape the Island with Juliet. Kate asked why he would believe them, and he responds, "because you told me to." She discovers that he knows about her and Sawyer. He told her that he wished she hadn't come back for him, but then leaned in close to her and whispered into her ear that he will come back for her.("The Man from Tallahassee")
Still in the Others' captivity, Kate was dumbfounded after she heard that Locke was leaving with the enemy. Later, she was gassed unconscious by a canister thrown into the rec room in which she had been imprisoned. When she woke up, she found herself in the jungle, handcuffed to Juliet. Decisive to go back for her friends, Kate led Juliet towards the Barracks once more. On the way, the two physically fought, culminating in Kate dislocating Juliet's shoulder. Their fight was interrupted by the arrival of the Smoke Monster, which they escape by hiding in a Banyan tree. Juliet snidely told Kate that Jack had seen her with Sawyer, telling her that she had broken his heart. At this, Kate roughly popped Juliet's shoulder back into place. After another encounter with the mysterious black smoke, the two made it back to the deserted Barracks. There, Kate found Jack, and tearfully apologized for preventing his escape from the Island. ("Left Behind")
As they journeyed back, Kate and Sayid shared suspicions over Juliet as well as Jack's irrational protective behavior of her. Later that night, Kate found herself defending Jack against the Losties' anger over Juliet, in spite of her own suspicion. Then when Claire became mysteriously and gravely ill, Juliet came to Kate, telling her that she knew why Claire was ill because she was the one that made her sick. Juliet explained to Jack and Kate that pregnant women die on the island, leading Kate to become concerned about Sun too. ("One of Us")
One night after attempting to flirt with Jack, Kate was stunned to see him having dinner with Juliet. Upset, she went to Sawyer at his tent and seduced him. ("Catch-22")
Sun sought Kate's advice after Jack asked her some odd questions about her pregnancy, and Kate told her about Juliet's research with pregnant women on the island. She then tried to calm Sun as she confronted Juliet. Later, they learned that the Others had taken an interest in Kate, as Juliet spoke of obtaining a sample from her. ("D.O.C.")
A few nights later, Kate and Sawyer try spending the night together, but she becomes restless and leaves for her own tent. Later that day, Kate found Sayid and Hurley attempting to fix the satellite phone, and Sayid told her everything about Naomi. Despite Sayid's request to keep the information a secret, Kate told Jack of this, later telling Sayid that this information should not be withheld, and that Naomi was seriously injured and needed a doctor. Kate warned him that no one trusted him anymore because of Juliet, who implied that there was something Kate should know. But Jack refused to tell her before heading off to help Naomi, leaving Kate confused. ("The Brig")
The next day, Kate was among the group of survivors who gathered together to listen to Sayid talk about his distrust of Jack and Juliet. As Jack arrived with Juliet, she ordered Sawyer to play the tape that Locke had given him, in which she mentions testing Kate for a possibly pregnancy. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")
Kate was in the group led by Jack and Juliet into the jungle, where they learned of the plan to rid themselves of the Others. However, Karl arrived on the beach to warn them of the Others' change of plans.
Later while in conversation with Jack, he told her that Sawyer refused her because he was trying to protect her, and that he, himself, had done the same back at the Hydra. When Kate asked why Jack was being so nice to Sawyer when he would never do it for Jack, he responds by telling her he loves her. Kate looked on in shock and awe, then guilt at having never been able to believe it before. ("Greatest Hits") ("Through the Looking Glass")
Kate, like the rest of the survivors, was elated by the prospect of finally being rescued. But when Naomi disappeared, she found what she believed to be her trail. Jack, however, intended to follow a different trail found by Rousseau, and brushed off Kate's suggestion that it could be a dummy trail (once again dismissing the fact that she is a trained tracker). He told Kate to take the rest of the survivors back to the beach. Kate appeared to agreed and gave Jack a hug, but this was a ruse to steal Naomi's satellite phone from Jack. She headed off to follow the other trail.
She was correct about the trail, and after a short conversation with Minkowski on the phone, she was attacked and by Naomi, who believed that the survivors wanted to kill her. Kate managed to convince her that Locke was acting alone in attacking her, and when Naomi talked to Minkowski on the phone, she did not disclose how she was injured.
After Naomi ultimately died of the stab wound inflicted by Locke, Kate met up with the rest of the survivors in the jungle by the cockpit of the plane. When Locke led one group back to the abandoned Barracks, Kate was dismayed when Sawyer chose to go with him, as she wanted to leave the Island. Later at the wreckage of the Flight 815 nose section, Jack and Kate talked about Charlie for a brief moment, remembering when they went on their first trek to the cockpit. They heard the sound of a helicopter overhead, and, following the sound, she and Jack witnessed a man parachute onto the Island, apparently a member of the "search and rescue" team from the freighter. ("The Beginning of the End")
Kate and Jack agreed to help Faraday find the other members of his team, who were forced to bail out of the helicopter when it experienced mechanical difficulty. The first person they found was Miles, who initially appeared dead, but surprised Jack and held him at gunpoint, demanding that Kate tell him where Naomi's body was. After learning that Naomi had used a code to communicate that she was in trouble, Kate told Miles that Naomi was killed by Locke, but stated that he was not with them anymore. After being taken to the body, and apparently somehow communicating with Naomi, Miles accepted her story, but still regarded Jack and Kate with suspicion despite Daniel's insistence that they were "good people", and wouldn't put his gun away.
Kate and Jack were ultimately saved by Sayid and Juliet, who surprised Miles and Daniel by firing shots from the jungle, and disarmed them. Kate was also present when the group discovered that Locke was holding Charlotte, another team member, hostage, and when they found Frank Lapidus, the pilot of the helicopter and final team member. She and Daniel carried Naomi's body back to the helicopter. ("Confirmed Dead")
As Sayid and Lapidus arranged to get Naomi back from Locke's group, Kate wryly commented on Jack's not being allowed to go. With Jack's assertion that Sawyer would protect her from Locke, Kate joined with Sayid and Miles as they went across the Island to the barracks. ("The Economist")
Upon reaching the barracks, Kate heard a muffled shouting coming from inside one of the houses. With Sayid and Miles, she investigated the noise, to find Hurley tied up in a cupboard. He told them that Locke had gone crazy and that he tied him up and was going to leave the barracks after shortly stopping at Ben's house. The group headed to Ben's house to investigate, and while Kate was searching Ben's bedroom, Sawyer entered and closed the door, motioning for Kate to be quiet. She would not betray Sayid's trust again and shouted a warning to him, but it was too late. Sawyer and Kate talked about staying behind, with Sawyer pointing out how well off they were there, and that all Kate had to look forward to in the outside world was prison. She asked him with some contempt how long they could "play house", and he replied that they could find out.
After the exchange of prisoners, Sayid left with Charlotte to return to Jack and Juliet's group. The next morning, Sawyer tried warming up to Kate, but she was still angry with him over abandoning her, and she sent him away. Later she approached Locke for permission to speak to Miles. He flatly refused her, but, undeterred, she tricked the information out of Hurley. Reassuring him she wouldn't tell Locke, she set out for the boathouse, where Miles was being held captive. Kate demanded that he tell her what he knew about her. Miles agreed, but in exchange, wanted to talk to Ben first. Kate turned to Sawyer for help in her plot, to which he was happy to agree. As he distracted Locke with a game of backgammon, Kate broke Miles out and took him to see Ben, where she witnessed Miles blackmail Ben for 3.2 million dollars. Miles then revealed that he and everyone else on the freighter knew all about Kate and her criminal record. On their way out, they were intercepted by Locke, who ordered Kate back to her house. She left after a warning glance from her accomplice. After an argument with Locke, in which he ordered her out of the Barracks by morning, she went to Sawyer and Hurley's house, where he apologized for ratting her out. He scoffed at Locke's banishment, telling her she could stay with him, and that he'd protect her. In the morning, they had a tense moment where Sawyer became too pushy about sex and the fact that she'd turned him down the night before, then expressed a near-ridiculous show of relief that she wasn't pregnant. She became angry and announced that she was going back to the beach. Sawyer, exasperated, angrily remarked that in a week she'd have a reason to get pissed off at Jack and bounce back to him. Kate slapped him hard enough to send him reeling, then after the couple exchanged angry glances, she left.("Eggtown")
On the walk back, Kate encountered Daniel and Charlotte making their way to the Tempest. After she caught them lying, discovering their gas masks, Charlotte knocked her unconscious. Jack and Juliet found Kate shortly after. While Jack tended to Kate, Juliet sneaked off ahead after Daniel and Charlotte. Following Juliet to the station, Kate told Jack that she stayed with Locke's group to find out if the people on the freighter knew about her status as a fugitive, and that they did. They later reached the Tempest after Juliet had controlled the situation, and Kate decided to see if Charlotte's story checked out by following them into the Tempest. ("The Other Woman")
Following her return from the Tempest, Kate grew ever more suspicious of both Juliet and the Kahana crew. With the prospect of rescue too much of a gamble to take, she remained on the beach but expressed her doubts to Sun, and they were reciprocated. Kate later drew Sun a map to the Barracks when she decided she and Jin would defect from the beach camp. ("Ji Yeon")
A few mornings later, Kate discovered that Jack was taking painkillers, over which she expressed concern. They talked for awhile until they heard Bernard's cries for help. They found Dr. Ray's body washed up on the beach with his throat slit. They asked Faraday who it was and he informed them that he was the freighters' doctor. Later that night, Kate was present when Jack found out Faraday and Lewis have been lying to them about what the freighters' intentions were. She attempted to aid Jack when his stomach bug started to act up. ("The Shape of Things to Come")
When Jack's "stomach bug" turned out to be a case of appendicitis, he demanded that Kate be present during surgery. He wanted to stay awake so he could talk Juliet through it, and needed Kate to hold a mirror so he could see the incision. But the pain became too much for him, upsetting Kate, and Juliet ordered her out while Bernard smothered him with a chloroform-soaked rag. After the surgery, Kate went to see Jack, finding Juliet stitching up his stomach. They discuss Juliet's kiss with Jack a few days' prior, and Juliet remarks that she was certain that he was trying to prove he was "in love with someone else". Kate thanks her for saving Jack's life. ("Something Nice Back Home")
Kate was present at the beach camp when suddenly, a helicopter was heard in the distance. As the chopper overflew the camp, a satellite phone fell from it. ("Cabin Fever")
Jack, after an argument with Juliet over the possibility of burst sutures, recruited Kate to track the chopper into the jungle. After a lengthy trek, they ran into Sawyer, Miles, and Aaron making their way back to the beach. Kate and Miles returned to the beach, while Jack and Sawyer continued on towards the chopper. Upon arriving at the beach, Kate delivered the news to Sayid, and they decided to go after Jack and Sawyer.
Some time later, Kate came running out of the jungle toward Keamy and his men, claiming that she was being chased by Ben's people. After telling Keamy her name, she was ordered to put her hands above her head and stay beside Ben. She gave him a meaningful glance, which he appeared to understand. As the Others took out the mercenaries, Kate and Ben ran for cover, pursued by Keamy. After Richard shot Keamy and saved Sayid's life, Kate cut Ben's bonds. Ben told her and Sayid that the helicopter was theirs and they were free to leave the Island.
When Kate and Sayid were joined by Hurley, Jack and Sawyer at the helicopter, they lifted off and headed for the freighter. When a fuel leak was discovered, Kate and the other survivors tossed things out of the helicopter to reduce weight. As Lapidus shouted that they needed to lose a couple hundred pounds more, Sawyer turned to Kate and whispered something into her ear.
Upon landing on the freighter, Kate told Sun to get Aaron on the helicopter and that she would go and get Jin, who was still below decks. As Kate searched for Jin, Jack tells her he's not leaving her and takes her back to the helicopter. The chopper ran out of fuel and ditched in the ocean, but Kate and her friends survived and managed to get to the life raft deployed by Sayid. After being rescued by Penny aboard the Searcher, and plotting their lie to the world about the Island's whereabouts, they set out for the island of Membata, and eventual rescue. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")
Sometime later, Kate landed in Hawaii with the rest of the Oceanic Six and from here she professed to being Aaron's biological mother. She found that none of her family and friends were waiting for her when she stepped off the plane holding Aaron. At the press conference, she was questioned about giving birth on the Island, and being pregnant at the time of her arrest in Australia. A reporter that seemed suspicious asked about the fact that she would have been six months pregnant at the time of her arrest based on the time that she indicated she had the baby. Karen Decker interrupted this reporter and informed him that Kate's legal issue was off the table for questioning.
She attended Christian Shephard's funeral, where she met Carole Littleton who complimented Aaron, and stood by while Jack talked to her about Claire being his sister. At the time she did not seem aware of Carole's relation to Aaron, but it would become apparent later that Jack must have confessed. Later, Kate attended Hurley's surprise birthday party, holding Aaron, where she stated that Jack was running late, but soon would be there. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")
Kate went to visit Cassidy and Clementine to help give them financial support as Sawyer had requested, and to tell Clementine that her father loved her and cared about her. Cassidy was happy to see Kate alive and well, but was decidedly contemptuous of the fact that Sawyer was still alive. She scoffed at Kate's notion that he jumped to save them, instead putting forth that he was trying to "get away" from Kate. She was sympathetic, telling Kate that she had the same look as she did when Sawyer dumped Cassidy. Also, amidst all of the information about the Oceanic Six lies, Cassidy correctly guessed that Aaron was not actually Kate's baby. When she asked why Kate had lied about Aaron, she responded, "Because I have to." Kate and Cassidy continued their friendship, paying each other visits over the next three years. ("Whatever Happened, Happened")
Kate went on trial for murdering Wayne and numerous other crimes committed during her time as a fugitive. When Jack appeared as a character witness offering false testimony about Kate, she angrily rejected his help and requested that he be removed as a witness. Her mother was brought in as the "star witness" against Kate. But she was weakened by a terminal illness, and in a private meeting with her daughter she explained that she did not want to testify, that Kate's "death" changed her mind, and she would not testify if she was allowed to see her "grandson". Kate refused, not wanting Diane anywhere near her "son", but Diane decided she would not testify, regardless. ("Eggtown")
After this development, the prosecution offered Kate a deal: 10 years of probation and confinement to the state of California. Having accepted the deal, she left the courthouse where she ran into Jack, who told her he was lying when he told the judge he didn't love her. He asked if they could go get coffee, but Kate declined because of Jack's rejection of Aaron. She told him that until he could accept Aaron, there would be no "me and you going for coffee." She told him to come and see them when he changed his mind. Kate returned home to Aaron, who greeted her as his mother. ("Eggtown")
Shortly after her trial, Jack seemed to have changed his mind about seeing Aaron, and became romantically involved with Kate. He moved into her home, and appeared to take a paternal interest in Aaron, reading him bedtime stories. Eventually he proposed to her, and she accepted. But Jack, plagued by visions of his father, turned to alcohol and drug abuse, and one night Kate came home late find him drunk and alone with Aaron, having sent the babysitter home. Despite her pleas to let it go, that where she was had nothing to do with them, he demanded to know where she was. To this she would only admit that she was "doing something for Sawyer", and said that he wouldn't want Jack to know about it. He became irrational and mocked Sawyer's sacrifice, and she angrily told him she would not have him acting like this around Aaron. She went to comfort the boy as he appeared, frightened, in a doorway, and said nothing as Jack walked out. ("Something Nice Back Home")
John Locke visited Kate sometime after this, and told her that she needed to go back to the Island. She told him no, she had a child to think of, and sadly told him that he only wanted to stay originally because he had no one that he loved back home. ("The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham")
About a month later, after getting a phone call from Jack, Kate agreed to meet him at the end of an airport runway. Once there, it was apparent the two haven't spoken in some time. Kate is surprised at his appearance. After a brief, simple exchange, Jack - who was deeply addicted to drugs and alcohol - told her that they were never supposed to leave the island, and that he was attempting to return. Kate, saddened by Jack's condition, said that she had to leave and return before he started wondering where she was. Kate left, while Jack was remained standing on the runway calling after her, yelling "We have to go back, Kate!" ("Through the Looking Glass")
Kate reversed the car and stormed back, angrily rebuking Jack for wanting to go back to the Island and for harassing her with constant phone calls while he was stoned on his pills. Jack revealed that his reason for believing Jeremy Bentham was because it was the only way to protect her and Aaron, whereupon Kate slapped him - venting her anger and resentment for him abandoning them. She then left him to his own devices, returning home to Aaron.
Later, Kate had a dream in which she received a phone call from an unknown voice. The person's message sounded unintelligible to Kate, but it was actually a man speaking in reverse(the message being "The Island needs you, you have to go back before it's too late.) As the phone went dead, she heard a sound coming from Aaron's room. She grabbed a small handgun from her closet and crept to her son's room. There was someone leaning over Aaron in his bed, and she ordered this person away from her son. The person turned around, and she saw it was Claire. She warned Kate not to bring Aaron back to the island, saying "Don't you dare bring him back, Kate." She then woke up, frightened, and ran to his room. She held his hand as she cried quietly, apologizing to him. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")
Later, Kate was at home watching cartoons with Aaron when she was visited by Dan Norton, an attorney working for an unknown client. Norton claimed to have a court order to conduct a test to determine if Aaron was actually Kate's child. She refused to allow the test and told Norton to leave, which he did, saying that he would be back with a sheriff. Kate frantically packed a bag, grabbed an envelope of cash and a gun (which were hidden in her room), took Aaron and left saying that they were going "on vacation."("Because You Left")
Shortly after leaving, Kate pulled into a gas station. Not knowing what to do, she contemplated phoning Jack, but thought better of it. Her phone began to ring however, and she answered it. She expressed relief that the person was in LA, and they agreed on a place to meet. When Aaron asked where they were going, Kate responded "to see a friend."
Kate took Aaron to the penthouse of a large hotel, where they met Sun. Sun showed Kate pictures of Ji-Yeon and stated that she'd like Aaron and Ji-Yeon to play together. Kate told Sun about the lawyers who came to visit her asking about testing her and her "son." Sun told Kate that they weren't interested in exposing their lie, they just wanted Aaron. Sun told Kate that she needs to do what she must to take care of Aaron. Kate demanded to know what kind of person Sun thought she was, which led Sun to allude to the events on the freighter that led to Jin's death. Kate, shocked and saddened by the implication that she was responsible for his death, tearfully apologized, but Sun responded that she didn't blame Kate. She then asked Kate how Jack was, who looked disgusted. ("The Lie")
Shortly after, Kate, with Sun watching Aaron, paid a visit Norton at his office, during which she attempted a deal as a way to find out who Norton's client was. Norton refused her offer, telling her that it was no use and that she should brace herself with the reality that she would lose Aaron. Kate, resolved in finding out who has discovered her lie, initiated a stake-out to follow Norton, in the hopes that he'd lead her to his client. She was briefly interrupted by a call from Jack, who implored her to tell him where she was so they could talk. She agreed and told him where she was.
When Jack arrived she told him that somebody knew about the lie and that she was not Aaron's biological mother. Jack accompanied her in tailing Norton to a motel, where they saw that Norton's client was Carole Littleton. Kate was horrified, and believed she was there to take Aaron away. Jack offered to talk to her, and it was revealed that Ms. Littleton in fact had no knowledge of Aaron. Kate was left wondering who was really looking for Aaron, and why.
When Jack and Kate arrived at the marina, Kate was disturbed to see Ben. It was then that Kate realized the truth- that Ben was the one after Aaron, and that Jack was working with him. She demanded to know why he wouldn't leave her and "her son" alone, to which Ben replied, "Because he's not your son."("The Little Prince")
After an angry Sun appeared to hold Ben at gunpoint, Kate retrieved Aaron from her car. Upon realizing that Jack was trying to trick her into returning to the Island, she became incensed with him and drove away with Aaron. ("This Place is Death")
As they drove away, Aaron asked to stop to get some milk to drink. She stopped at a supermarket, only to find he'd changed his mind and wanted a juice box instead. Kate was distracted by a phone call from Jack, which she ignored. As she put her phone away, she discovered Aaron had disappeared. Kate was terrified and frantically searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found. She finally found Aaron just as she asked a worker to close off the store. Aaron was walking with a blonde woman who bore a resemblance Claire. The woman had meant well and was simply taking him to the front to ask the manager to make an announcement. Kate hugged Aaron in relief.
Badly shaken, Kate took Aaron to Cassidy's house, where Clementine, Sawyer's daughter, answered the door. Kate discussed the events in the supermarket with Cassidy, and said that as scared as she was, she was not surprised that Aaron went missing and that she knew it would happen someday. Cassidy told Kate that this was only because she took him to begin with. She also asserts that Kate only took Aaron because Sawyer broke her heart.
That night, Kate checked into a hotel a few doors down from Carole Littleton and went to go talk to her. Carole said that she knew who Kate was and mentioned her visit with Jack. Kate, in tears, came clean about the lie cooked up by the Oceanic Six and told Carole that Aaron was her grandson, and that Claire was still alive. She told Carole that Aaron was in the other room, and that when she was ready, Aaron was waiting for her, as she would be the one to take care of him while Kate was gone. She let Carole know that she had filled Aaron in on the situation. When Carole asked Kate where she was going, Kate declared that she was going back to the Island to find Claire.
Kate left and went to go say goodbye to Aaron. She broke down and quietly wept about leaving Aaron behind. She gave him a kiss, and tearfully walked out of the room after saying goodbye one last time before she went to the Island. ("Whatever Happened, Happened")
Later that evening, Jack came home to his apartment and found Kate strewn across his bed, clearly distraught. She asked if he still meant to go back, and when he said "yes", she said that she was coming as well. Jack, confused, asked why she changed her mind so suddenly, and questioned after Aaron's whereabouts. Kate, visibly upset, told him in no uncertain terms that if he wanted her to come back, he must never ask about Aaron or mention his name again. Jack agreed and Kate began to kiss him. The next morning, presumably after having sex the previous night, Jack eagerly made breakfast for a somewhat bemused and distracted Kate. She questioned after Christian's shoes, and Jack explained them. In relation to his story, she asked him "Why hold on to something if it makes you sad?", but before he could answer, the phone rang, and Kate quickly took the opportunity to leave.
At the airport, Kate seemed intent on avoiding Jack's presence, giving him a wan look at the ticket counter. Later, on the plane, Jack came over to sit by her, remarking on how strange and crazy it was that all of the Oceanic 6 were together again. Kate commented that just because they were on the same plane, it didn't mean they were "together". Jack had little time to dwell on the double meaning of her words, as they were both startled to hear Frank Lapidus on the intercom. During the crash, Kate was transported out of the plane into the past, along with Jack, Hurley, and Sayid, disappearing before everyone's eyes. ("316")
After the supposed crash, Kate was discovered by Jack and Hurley, unconscious on the edge of the waterfall pool. They revived her and explained that they were really back on the Island, though no one remembered crashing. Kate asked with some concern about the other passengers, in particular, Ben. She and the other two then heard music nearby and saw a DHARMA van coming to the side of the lagoon. The van stopped, and a man in a DHARMA suit stepped out with his rifle. The group was astonished to see that it was Jin. ("316")
The group was taken to the "North Valley" to meet with Sawyer, where he and Kate had an affectionate but reserved reunion. As Sawyer anxiously ordered them to stay put while he devises a way to smuggle them into the Barracks, Kate stopped him to ask who else is with his group. (presumably wondering if Claire might be amongst them) Later Sawyer drove them to the processing center, where he put a lei on Kate's neck as he explained to them what would happen. As Kate waited for her name to be called for work assignments, she was approached by Phil, who became suspicious when he could not find her name on the sub manifest. Kate managed to stall until Juliet arrived and feigned to meeting Kate for the first time. Kate was relieved, but gave Juliet a wry glance as she went along with the charade. ("LaFleur")("Namaste")
The next morning, Kate was clearly not happy about Sawyer and Juliet being together, but she opts not to interfere. After an frustrating encounter with Sayid, Sawyer approached Kate at her house. When she answered the door, they had a brief, awkward moment before Sawyer asked to know why she had come back. She hedged a moment before firmly telling him that she only knew why she had come back. But before she could tell him, they were interrupted by the sight of a burning van hurtling past them (part of a ruse by young Ben to free Sayid), and Kate rushed to save the occupants while Sawyer sounded the fire alarm. She later had a conversation with a janitor, with whom she commiserated over being thrown into jobs which they had not expected to be given. She gave him a slightly malicious smile when he introduced himself as Roger Linus, Ben's father.
Later, down in the security station, Kate approached Sawyer to find out what was going on, when Horace arrived with Phil, Miles, and Jin. Horace was suspicious of Kate's presence, but she and Sawyer successfully conned him into thinking she was simply there for questioning. Kate, Jack, and Hurley were put by Sawyer under house arrest as a safety precaution while the situation was being cleared up. Kate defended Sawyer's decision when Jack became exasperated. After Sawyer failed to recruit Jack for help in surgery with Ben, Kate became angry with Jack and left to to do what she could for Juliet and Ben.
She showed up at the clinic and offered to give Ben blood, as she was a universal donor. She and Juliet talked for a moment, during which Kate revealed she and Jack had been engaged. Roger came in to check on his son, where he told Kate that he knew Ben stole his keys and admitted that wasn't the good father that he was initially hoping to be. Their conversation was interrupted when Ben started to crash, and Juliet stabilized him. Outside, she told Kate that Ben had no chance of survival and was in a medically unsolvable situation, but at Kate's refusal to give up on Ben, she suggested that the Others may be able to help.
Juliet wanted to go with her, but Kate told her that she didn't want to mess things up for her and Sawyer, and if she got in trouble she would see to it that all the blame was on her. Juliet told Kate that she would have to tell Sawyer what was going on, but that she would try and give her a head start. Kate took Ben in a DHARMA van to the Sonar fence, where she stopped to check on Ben. Sawyer drove up behind her, and Kate told him she understood that he was going to stop her. But he told her he was there to help her, not to stop her, and they head out into the jungle. As they stopped to rest and give Ben water, Kate told Sawyer about his daughter Clementine. Before they could continue, the Others arrived to take them captive.
Sawyer quickly took charge, and demanded to be taken to Richard if they wanted the Truce to be upheld. The Others complied and escorted him and Kate into the jungle. Richard appeared and asked about Ben, to which Kate answered and asked if he could help. As Richard asked who she was, Sawyer became protective and firmly told Richard that Kate was "with him". Richard explained to Kate that if he took Ben, he would lose his innocence, never be the same again, and "always be one of us." He asked her if she was sure that was what she wanted, and Kate agreed to hand Ben over. ("Whatever Happened, Happened")
Kate arrived back at the hospital and filled Juliet in on the situation, when Roger came in and discovered that Ben was missing from the hospital. Juliet desperately tried to come up with a cover story, but Roger didn't listen and raced out to go to security. Kate later attempted to comfort Roger, but he became unexpectedly and irrationally suspicious instead. ("Some Like It Hoth")
The next day, after their cover was blown, Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, and Hurley met in Sawyer and Juliet's home to discuss their options. Sawyer suggested they either leave the Island by submarine or head into the jungle to "start from square one." They were interrupted when Miles and Daniel arrived asking where he could find the Hostiles. Sawyer angrily rejected Daniel's plan, and asked Kate to come with him and the group to the beach. Juliet, however, was clearly annoyed with the obvious affection that still remained between the two (especially at Sawyer's use of his pet name for Kate), and pointedly gave Kate the access code to the sonic fence. Taking the hint, Kate left with Jack and Daniel.
When Kate, Jack and Daniel went to the motor pool to arm themselves, they are interrupted by Radzinsky and two other DHARMA workers. When Radzinsky saw their weapons, he accused Daniel of lying about the group's intentions, and a firefight ensued. They made their way to the Jeep, when Jack covered them by opening fire on a fuel tank, causing a tremendous explosion. When they got to the sonic fence, Kate enters the code provided by Juliet and they made their way into the jungle. They stopped by a stream and Kate hears Daniel reveal his intention to set things right by detonating a hydrogen bomb in an attempt to negate the catastrophic energy release, thereby preventing the events that led to Oceanic 815's crash. Jack believed this plan would work but Kate was uneasy. They arrived undetected at the Hostile's camp, when Daniel decided to go in alone. Jack tried to stop him but Kate told Jack to let him go as they watched him enter the Hostiles' camp. ("The Variable")
Kate discussed their options with Jack while hiding behind bushes at the Hostiles' camp when suddenly, a gunshot was heard, and they watched Daniel collapse to the ground. As they were about to run away, they were surrounded by Charles Widmore and another Hostile riding horses. Widmore knocked out Jack with his rifle's butt and the other aimed at Kate. They were brought by Widmore into the camp where Eloise ordered that they be taken to her tent. While captive, Jack told Kate that this plan would work and that they could erase all of the miserable things that happened to them but Kate protested, saying she didn't think it was all misery. Eloise entered and assured them that she'd believe whatever they said, because she just killed her future son.
Kate and Jack were taken by Eloise, Richard, and Erik to the bomb. They arrived at a creek and are told this is where they'll swim under to the tunnels. Kate didn't want any part of this and told Jack she's going back. Erik threatened to shoot Kate, and as a gunshot rang out it seemed he had carried through with his threat. But it was Sayid who had shot Erik, saving his friend's life. Jack filled Sayid in on the plan to change the future and he is convinced he has already done so by killing Ben, but Kate told him that she and Sawyer had saved Ben's life. She then left and made her way back to the barracks.
Kate was caught upon her return, and Horace ordered that she be taken down into the sub where she was handcuffed next to Sawyer and Juliet, who had arranged only for their own escape from the Island. They all gave each other awkward looks and the vessel submerged, leaving the Island. ("Follow the Leader")
With the sub on its way, Kate convinced Juliet and Sawyer that they needed to stop Jack from detonating the hydrogen bomb on the island. Sawyer was clearly unwilling, but Juliet had other ideas and backed Kate up, knocking out the guard and unlocking their cuffs. They then forced the captain to surface so that they could leave and instructed him to continue on his course. When they arrived on the island, they met up with Vincent the dog, Rose, and Bernard who had been living alone for the past three years. Rose and Bernard attempted to discourage their mission, saying that the only thing that mattered was being with the one you loved. At this, Sawyer glanced at an oblivious Kate, something that did not go unnoticed by Juliet. On Kate's request, Rose pointed them in the direction of the Barracks and they left. Kate, Sawyer, and Juliet intercepted Jack and the rest of the survivors on their way to the Swan site.
After Jack's fight with Sawyer (and while Juliet was confronting Sawyer for looking at Kate), Kate tended to Jack's wounds and eventually changed her mind about helping Jack, when he convinced her she would be helping Claire. From her position in the van, Kate helped lay down cover fire for Jack as he attempted to reach the drill-well. When the bomb failed to detonate and the drill hit the EM pocket, Kate desperately tried to save Juliet from being dragged into the well by chains entangling her legs. She was able to buy enough time for Sawyer to grab Juliet's hand and try to pull her to safety, but this was to no avail and Juliet fell. Moments later the bomb presumably detonated and she survived. ("The Incident, Parts 1 & 2")
Kate woke up high in a tree with her hearing temporarily affected. She climbed down from the tree and ran into Miles. They walked to the Swan site and realized that it has been obliterated, just as it was after the discharge of 2004. She then saw Jack and Sawyer unconscious on the ground and went to Jack's aid. He soon regained counsciousness and she informed him of the dilemma. Sawyer then kicked him into the hatch hole, telling him he was wrong. Kate held Sawyer back.
Kate, Hurley, Jack, Jin, and Sayid made their way to the Temple. They entered via a hole at the base of the wall and began to make their way through the tunnels. Kate wandered off and was captured by the Others. Her friends are soon captured as well. They are brought to the Temple proper and their leader, Dogen, ordered them to be shot. Hurley saved the day by informing the Others that Jacob sent him along with the guitar case. Kate watches as Dogen opened the guitat case, removed a wooden Ankh and smashed it. He took out a piece of paper, presumably another of Jacob's lists, and asked them all for their names.
Kate and her friends followed Dogen and his interpreter Lennon into the Temple, where a spring is bubbling. Dogen informed them that there would be risks if they tried to save Sayid, and Kate looked worried. Sayid is submerged in the spring. Sayid soon revived, but some Others held him down. Kate and her friends shouted out for them to stop, as they think the Others are drowning Sayid. Kate is shocked when Sayid's lifeless body was lifted from the water. Jack went over to Sayid and began to perform CPR on him. Kate asked him what he was doing and demanded that he stop aince Sayid was already dead.
Later, Kate gratefully accepted some food and water from Cindy, Zach, and Emma. Soon after, Miles and an uncounscious Sawyer are brought to the Temple, having been attacked and captured by the Others. Sometime later, Sawyer woke up and told Kate that he does not intend to kill Jack anymore, as he thinks that Jack should suffer on the Island along with them. All of a sudden, Sayid sat up, seemingly alive, and asks "What happened?". Kate is shocked. ("LA X, Parts 1 & 2")
During the flight, Kate is seated next to Edward Mars. She (most likely intentionally) stumbles upon Jack Shephard after leaving the lavatory, stealing a pen which was in his coat pocket.
Edward Mars passes himself and Kate through customs, at which time Kate asserts that she has to use the restroom. After making sure there is no one else in the lady's room, Mars tells her she has two minutes. Kate tries to use the pen she stole from Jack to unlock her handcuffs, but she arouses the suspicion of Mars before she can finish the task. After knocking him unconscious and stealing his gun Kate flees from the room and runs into an elevator. Sawyer is the only other occupant, and he indicates that he knows she is a fugitive, having recognized her from the plane. Two airport security guards enter the elevator, and Sawyer helps Kate to evade their detection. Kate escapes the airport through an employee exit, then fails to steal a cab from Neil Frogurt. Seeing Edward Mars rallying the airport security agents outside the airport, Kate panics and steals a different taxi, this time using the gun she stole to convince the driver to drive. When the driver says he already has a passenger, we see that Claire Littleton is already in the car.
In "Par Avion", Mikhail tells Kate she is not on the list because of the fact that she is "flawed."
In "Left Behind", Locke tells Kate he made a strong case with the Others for her. But based on who she was and what she had done he could not convince them because "forgiveness is not one of their strong suits."
|License Plate
|Because she was a fugitive, Kate had a stash of license plates hidden within the trunk of her car
to use when adopting a new identity. Some of the license plates found in the picture to the left are:
Minnesota, Idaho, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, North Dakota, Colorado, and Wisconsin,
all holding a possible reference to the places where she might have been located while on the run.
This was Kate's birthplace, and where she was later temporarily reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Tom, while visiting her dying mother. In Iowa, Kate committed her first crime, by killing Wayne, and escaping after, which also makes it the starting point of her escape.
In "Born to Run", Kate changed her license plate from Nebraska to Ohio.
|New Mexico
In Ruidoso, New Mexico, Kate staged her bank robbery, to get the toy airplane from the safety deposit box.
Florida is where Kate married Kevin Callis, and lived with him for a while in Dade County, before escaping again.
In Australia, Kate lived and worked on Ray Mullen's farm, before he turned her in for the $23,000 reward.
Kate's license plate in "Left Behind" is 40N DVB

Ahead of the Westminster election on 12 December, James Mitchell explains how party competition in Scotland is shaped by interrelated questions of policy, competence, independence and Brexit…'
The borders of Brexit
'Together, these measures could reduce the political and economic significance of the border between Scotland and England, even in the event of an independent Scotland becoming an EU member state while the rest of the UK stayed out. How ironic that DUP intransigence may inadvertently aid the case for Scottish independence!'
Scotland be bold on climate change
Gaps between rhetoric and delivery reveal urgent need for joined up thinking in Scotland's plans for tackling climate change: 'Scotland must cut emissions to zero by 2050. Increase the 2030 target to 77% and, crucially, commit to actions on integrated policies to make that happen.'
Brexit and devolution….a primer
'If you believe that every power currently held by the EU should be devolved completely and immediately upon Brexit then, yes, you can describe the UK government as grabbing those powers. But, you'd then have to explain why you were previously happy for the EU to hold those powers.'
SNP must lead Scottish call for People's Vote
A strong stance from the SNP on a people's vote does not yet look likely. If Labour found its nerve on this, the SNP, it seems, would follow not lead. The big challenge on Brexit for the Scottish government is whether it can find its nerve on Brexit, as its MPs at Westminster have done, and lead not follow.
Brown's narrow win bad omen for Sturgeon
'The SNP leadership is performing a delicate balancing act, and finding it increasingly difficult to keep anyone happy. Whether Sturgeon can find a way back onto the front foot is going to be the ultimate test of her leadership in the coming months.'
Is small always beautiful?
'There is both and economic and a social case for expanded health care. As the Commission notes, inequalities of wealth and income are massive. Independent or not, Scotland will have to have a serious debate about taxation.'
Independence: growth, austerity, social justice or sheer magic?
"Pro-independence commentators on the Left are angry that (the recent Sustainable Growth Commission report) appears to reduce an "independent" Scotland to a "vassal state" (h/t JRM) of the Bank of England, Westminster/Whitehall and Brussels." Some comments from the right as well as the left on the Big Debate…
Growth commission: an answer to the wrong question?
The SNP hopes its Sustainable Growth Commission report will restart the national debate on independence? Richard Murphy describes it as disastrous, the Fraser of Allander Institute sees much for all parties to discuss (with or without independence in mind). Ray Perman thinks it will be forgotten fairly quickly.
Brexit and the coming break-up of Britain
Westminster and the three devolved governments should conclude a new constitutional settlement for pooling sovereignty within the UK, with fresh powers and competences given to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to control their people's destinies. Otherwise, it will only undermine the current devolution settlement and assume even greater central powers in the name of national (UK) sovereignty'.
