Notes

• This is Kate's first blog since September 29, 2007. 28 Webisodes have been posted since her last one (Goodbye, Devon), and this one.

• The different versions of Kate in this video could represent the different aspects of her personality, which are at conflict with each other.

• The part of the video where she's laying on the table could be reminiscent of Bree during the Ceremony.

• Her painting of B (heart) K in the video some have suggested that it means "Be Kate", but she feels she cannot.
  • Upon closer inspection, Kate had actually painted her name surrounding the heart.
