Kate’s mom: “I asked you what you are doing here”
Kate: “I want to know why you told them what I did to him”
Kate’s mom: “I thought maybe you came because you wanted to say you were sorry”
Kate: “I’m not sorry! He hit you, he treated you like a dog and you –”
Kate’s mom: “You can’t help who you love, Kathryn! And for good or bad, I loved him… and you burned him alive. You turned on the gas and you lit a match. You murdered him in cold blood!”
Kate: “I did it for you.”
Kate’s mom: “What you did, you did for yourself.”
I watched this episode of LOST last week. It sat at the back of my mind for awhile, mostly because it poses an interesting question… can you help who you love? Who was right in principle (aside from that tiny technicality of murder)? Could it really play out that someone you love may not be good for you?
What do you think?
