I felt as though I was watching the slow decline of Kate's character — Her bike is stolen, relationships didn't work out for her, she was downsizing to a smaller apartment, she was messy and sloppy in her living conditions and relationships (she didn't rush her friend to the hospital when he hurt himself helping her move), she was about to lose her best friend to marriage (where she would have no place), she was starting to sleep around with the guys at work, her job was
going nowhere, she was shallow, and if she continued to drink at the same rate she'd most likely incur health problems, lose her job and wind up living
under a freeway
overpass.
