1.08 A Mad Tea-Party

[Tim]

Well, looks like Kate has finally woken up to the fact that Alice is a lost cause. All it's cost her is the life of her stepmother, her father being accused of murder, and her stepsister now hating her. Way to go, Kate!

I see what some has been complaining about. Kate went to see Alice twice in this episode, and just left her alone both times.

I noticed that, when Jacob was arrested, he was not informed of what he was being arrested for, nor was he read his rights. Of course, Due Process doesn't seem to exist on Earth-1, so maybe that SOP there (in our world, an accused criminal could walk because of such an oversight).

This episode was a stark reminder you can't trust everyone.

Kate had two chances to stop Alice before anything happened but did nothing resulting in Catherine's death which Mary detested.

I'm sure she won't be happy when she finds out Kate's Batwoman and the opportunities missed.

Even though Catherine made a mistake and led Jacob and Kate on concerning Beth's bones she didn't deserve what happened.

At least she knew what Mary was doing with the clinic and was proud of her for it.

Sophie needs to sort out her feelings regarding Kate and what she wants because she can't keep stringing her husband along.

The plot between Beth and Kate reminded me of Smallville season 8 with Davis Bloome/Doomsday and Clark and how the latter wouldn't kill the former because he wanted to help him resulting in Jimmy's death.

Yeah,  if Kate had just stopped Alice earlier in the episodes, Catherine would be alive and Kate would not be estranged from Mary. 

This is on you, Kate.

I'm sure she'll feel guilty about it which will be pushed to one side when Crisis happens but be addressed once that's over of course.

No doubt they will.
