LOST Season 2: Ep.9 - "What Kate Did"

CHARACTER MODE

Some of questions that were left unanswered in Season 1 were why did Kate's mom yell for help when Kate came to see her? Also who was sending Kate money when she was on the run?

From the flashbacks we learn that Kate killed a man, by leaking the gas pipes and incinerating the guy along with the house. She later visits her mom and hands her money she got from the insurance claim which she signed on her mom's name. Instead of being glad, her mom calls the police on Kate and gets her arrested by the Marshall who we came to know from Season 1. While being sent to jail, in the way a black horse appears distracting the Marshall and crashing straight into light pole. Kate takes the opportunity and runs away but not before glancing at the horse which saved her. Flash forward in the future, we see Kate visiting a Army recruiting office where she meets an old man who she calls dad. She asks him why he didn't tell her that the man she killed was actually her father. He replies that he knew she would kill him instead because apparently he doesn't have murder in his heart. Back on the island, Kate sees the same black horse wondering in the jungle. At first it would seem that Kate is imagining but when Sawyer sees it too, we start to wonder if the island is playing tricks or is there something else beyond our comprehension.

STORY MODE
