35.313 - 37.214 Ashley

Hello, friends. Hey, guys. Hey, it's Jack.

38.49 - 41.292 Jack

What were you just doing? We just had lunch.

0

41.832 - 44.795 Chris

And Sterling literally just finished this episode.

0

44.815 - 50.759 Jack

Did you even finish it? I'm close. I'm like five minutes from having the whole thing done.

50.899 - 55.842 Chris

All right, we'll wait. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no, go ahead. It's time to go. No, we'll just look at the camera.

55.862 - 63.588 Rebecca (Producer)

It's time to go. Oh, you guys, there are lots of questions being answered in Katie Girls, right?

63.608 - 63.708 Chris

Yeah.

63.928 - 90.549 Rebecca (Producer)

I mean, I think we could just jump right into how the episode starts. And it's sort of a flash, flash, flashback to the 50s with a doting wife and a husband who just comes home from work. The wife is just like... putting dinner on the table, pouring a drink. Little girl sort of posted up in front of the TV and then clocking the dynamic between her parents, right?

Chapter 2: What challenges does Kate face during her surgery?

1453.839 - 1467.247 Rebecca (Producer)

But it's like he's not, it's not like he's welcoming a guest with open arms and how you would sort of like not roll out the red carpet, but you would at least, you know, feel like, oh, this person who I have this connection with, we just went on a date or whatever. I don't know.

0

1467.267 - 1467.607 Ashley

Right.

0

1467.808 - 1481.677 Rebecca (Producer)

But he just sort of leads her to the kitchen to do dishes. Yeah. And they have this like... They just sort of stand there in silence. And one washes the dishes and Rebecca takes them and dries them.

0

1481.697 - 1492.825 Kate

But it's comfortable. It doesn't feel... I mean, yes, there's things that are being unsaid. But the fact that you were able to be in each other's presence without having to talk.

0

1492.885 - 1494.626 Rebecca (Producer)

To say anything, yeah.

1494.746 - 1496.087 Kate

That's like another level.

1496.107 - 1515.95 Rebecca (Producer)

Yeah, it was sort of like... We don't have to have a conversation about anything right now. We don't have to address like the elephant in the room. Do we want to be together? Do we want to pursue this? We can just like, I just need your essence. Like I need to be around you. And I don't know why. And I don't have to answer that right now.

1516.03 - 1521.314 Rebecca (Producer)

But I'm comfortable enough to just stand here and help you dry these dishes. That's all I need.

1521.354 - 1523.055 Kate

But you did ask him a question, Rebecca.

Chapter 4: What insights do the characters share about family dynamics?

Chapter 5: How does Kate confront her younger selves?

Chapter 6: What role does nostalgia play in the episode?

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the fan trivia segment?

1.476 - 2.94 Kate

Thank you.

1538.988 - 1560.932 Kate

And he's like, he said, yeah. Let's go to Los Angeles. Let's go to Los Angeles. And you guys keep doing the dishes or what have you. But it's also... There was no balking at it. There was no like, you want me to just pick up and go to like, he's like, I will do what you want. Like, I think that is the clear message in terms of the arc of the episode.

1560.952 - 1564.075 Rebecca (Producer)

That was the answer she needed. It was like, this is how they got together.

1564.135 - 1568.218 Kate

Yeah. Because you said it before earlier, I'm thinking about going there and my man was like, ah!

1568.418 - 1571.26 Rebecca (Producer)

Only New York, New York, New York. LA's fine, but New York?

1571.34 - 1574.843 Kate

Yeah. Way better. And you said, I'm going to take a drive. I'm going to go to LA. He's like, yeah.
