Is she only allowed to have a storyline insofar as it is about her fatness? Would that be more interesting to you? Or is she just supposed to fade into the background and be The Fat Sibling with No Story Any Longer?

I get that you want her to lose weight by any means, but that's not happening. So in a narrative sense, what do you do with her character?

Why was Kate the only member of the family with a weight issue? It got much worse after her father died but why was she an overweight child and teen? Does she have an anxiety disorder as also evidenced by her fear of swimming? They all treat her with kid gloves—why? Because she is the only girl?

WATCH THE SHOW

I did so tell me the answers to my questions and stop shouting.

DP here... Rebecca also had some issues with weight/eating as she was growing up. Not to the extent Kate did, but there was an episode about it. Kate did not have a healthy way to deal with her emotions, so she ate. When she was sad or depressed, she ate. Its a disorder and no one helped her. She should have gotten help as a young woman. At this point she needs surgery to get a start.

Screw poor Miguel?

Ah, that's the mystery (to me, at least) of the game Beth had.

Well, either Rebecca is on her deathbed on the Big 3's b-day or Kate is in that room.

I actually think the writers have done this pretty well - obviously teasing that there could be something more to the ending than just Rebecca's death.

I am ready for tonight!

I want to go there! I figured I could never afford it, but it looks like the least expensive rooms are only $259 on weeknights.

sadly likely she won’t even remember that she ever married Miguel. Most times with Alzheimer’s you remember early memories but not much past middle age.

She won’t even remember Jack or her kids or her grandchildren.
