Plus, as the other flashbacks showed - Kate always hated to take risks. She was content hanging onto her dad in the swimming pool instead of learning to swim. She didn't want to scale the fence in order to escape the pool. She complained about being stuck in Pittsburgh but she never did anything to better her situation like going to college.[/quote]

Right, and that was all preceded by Rebecca's exhortation to her adult children to live boldly and take risks and not be held back by consideration of her illness. So is Show suggesting that living boldly is taking a bigger job at the blind school and divorcing Toby? Because it seems to me that moving to San Francisco would be the bigger challenge/risk. That's where she'd have to really reconstruct her whole life. [/quote]

Giving up everything she cares about to save a marriage to someone who has none of the personality traits that first drew her to him seems like the cringing, submissive choice to me.

Crossfit techbro who's always on a call is appealing to some woman, but I can see why it doesn't do anything for Kate[/quote]

Well easy to see why she wouldn't have anything in common with a fitness buff who is professionally driven, true. But he's still sweet and funny outside of that. Look, I get that they're both very happy in their current cities, but something's got to give. Even if Kate gets "Janice's job" doubtful she'd make enough to support herself and two kids. In SF, she could do whatever she wanted courtesy of Toby's higher salary. And that includes continuing to work with blind children.[/quote]

I really liked the way Kate passed on cake at the retirement party and took a couple of macarons rather than a stack like the thin guy she was chatting with -- no because I care if she eats sweets but because that and her walk up the hill showed an effort (failed for a lot of DCUM posters, of course) that she is not someone who just wants to eat donuts on the sofa.

Weird how the brave thing is being defined as "living off a man"[/quote]

She's never had to support herself with FT work, ever. Her family, then her husband, coddled her. Good for her that she's now interested in FT work but my point stands she still won't make enough to support the three of them in LA. [/quote]
