Welp, this is a Kathleen episode so here we have a bunch. I really liked this episode and its subject matter. (If you don’t remember, this is the episode that demonstrates domestic abuse between Kathleen and her boyfriend Scott). I know Kathleen spouts off all the cliche victim-reasonings we’ve grown up hearing. But I think this episode is a great opportunity to see the cliches in context, in action. It helps them make sense a little more.

Kathleen’s style hasn’t changed too much over the years. It’s kind of bland, sensible, proper, modest. She doesn’t get too crazy with colors. Her hair has always been beautiful and we wears it clipped half-back these days. We still see remnants of summertime in many outfits of this episode. The final top we see here, in the dark brown, is unusual for Kathleen. Maybe it symbolizes her downtrodden state after Scott’s attack.
