Kate and Jakob drink cocoa at Willow Cottage. Kate hopes her dad’s getting some sleep. Jakob looks at a photo of a younger Kate at a road protest, which Jennifer had framed. He thinks Kate looks amazing; her mum must have clearly admired her stance to have kept the photo. They laugh over photos of Kate as a schoolgirl, just before she got expelled. This is news to Jakob. Kate counters that Erik was news to her – Jakob hadn’t give her much information about him at all. Jakob comments he’d noticed that wine was missing from his house, but was gratified to find the place tidied almost to his standard when he returned. Kate confesses this might have been Rex. Kate acknowledges through all her troubles her mum never stopped being there for her. As Kate talks about her mum’s life and potentially missed opportunities, Jakob hypothesises that Jennifer perhaps wished she could be more like Kate. Kate cries; she wishes she’d been able to thank her mum.
