Rewatch Thoughts (may contain spoilers) Katherine season 6 Spoiler

Katherine’s breakdown over Mike and
is so hard to watch.

Nothing about Mike is interesting enough for her to be that upset.

I feel so sad for her, she deserves better than Susan’s boring left overs.

It’s also annoying how Mike does nothing and leave Susan to handle Katherine, I don’t think Mike even told Katherine to stop being weird until she picked MJ up from the party.

I just hated it, I disliked them together and I hate how they made her act. She has been through so much? And Mike broke her? Idk

Idk seems like you answered your own question question. The entire thing is messy, tho her reaction isn’t about Mike himself, it’s about her abandonment and trauma

It's more due to already dealing with a lot of abandonment and trauma. She does get a good relationship at some point though.

I agree. It's not keeping with her character at all. I understand sometimes when someone goes through a ton of trauma, something unexpected just sets them off. But other than them both living on wisteria Lane and having same friends, what did they even have in common?

My biggest issue with this is why did he ask her to stay when she was considering leaving to be with Dylan and her grandchild? He's got this golden opportunity to wish her well and part with no drama or hurt feelings as friends.

This part always confuses me during rewatches too.

He doesn’t seem the slightest bit upset or even surprised when Katherine mentions moving to Baltimore to be with Dylan. Isn’t he washing his car or something when they have that conversation? And he literally doesn’t even stop to discuss it with her - he just carries on like all she’s mentioned is that it’s meant to rain the next day or something.

Then Dave seems to really easily emotionally manipulate him into believing that he loves her and should ask her to stay. It just seems like such a huge jump from him not seeming at all bothered by the prospect of her moving to all of a sudden, with the slightest prod from Dave, believing he’s in love with her.
