I can't stand Katie. And yes, she has a habit of failing to point out blame and forget her part in things. HOWEVER, I can't believe that I'm in "wait and see" mode with her. After everything she's been through, I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in a padded cell by the end of the week. She has every right to be livid at Henry, whose greed put this in motion. Yes, she made a very stupid and fatal decision. But the decision she made wouldn't have even been in the mix had it not been for Henry. And we can't know for sure how safe Katie would have been even without her own stupidity. Ralph almost successfully burned both V and Katie to a crisp and Katie was just minding her own business.

I've never been a big Katie fan, but I can certainly understand her reactions to things today.
In the past few hours she has been kidnapped, stranded in a warehouse thinking she wouldn't be rescued, given birth alone and suffered the physical consequences of that, been held hostage by a madman who she though would not only kill her but also her newborn baby, and above all her husband was killed by his own brother in an attempt to rescue her.
Who wouldn't be slightly unhinged after all that?
I have no doubt that she will eventually get around to recognizing her own guilt in all of this. There will be lots of lonely hours to do some soul searching and re-thinking all the "what ifs". Yes, even Fluffy is in for some regrets and reality.
Again, I've never been a Katie fan, but the last scene with her curled up on the bed with Brad's shirt and photo made my heart ache for her, just a little.

I had several thoughts about Katie today. First of all, TC and MP were fabulous in their scenes when Jack told katie the truth about the shooting. I thought they both did such a great job, and I cried along with them. But...
Henry in no way, shape or form, told (or even ASKED) Katie to go strutting her pregnant self to a known mobster, threatening him with the speed dial on her phone. What a total idiot! Sure, Henry's greed got the wheels in motion for this mobster guy, but Katie should have just told the police (her great sister leaps to mind) to meet the guy on the rooftop. She had no business going there by herself. How stupid can one person be?! So yeah, while Henry may be reponsible for Ralph being in Oakdale, Katie can blame herself for being kidnapped and ultimately for husband dying.
Finally....I couldn't even imagine going home from the hospital without my baby. I would have absolutely taken the room next to the NICU or a cot in the hallway. I was shocked that she went home without him.
It is Katie's responsibility for putting herself and her baby in harm's way. Henry did not tell her to go to the warehouse and he was scared to death of the guy which should have given her a clue. She was an idiot to go over there but I doubt it will be adressed by the writers.
