Did you honestly think that brave, vacuous smile from the hospital bed would erase all of those things? Frogs may make good princes in fairy tales, but murderesses/adulteresses tend not to make good wives. If sheer volume and repetition were enough to change his mind, you two would be together right now. But Stefan does what he wants and he gets what he wants -- and he doesn't want you." Katherine says, "And you, of course. Mom, Dad, child, dog, a few bats in the belfry. Bobbie Spencer you could tolerate because you knew that marriage was just an inconvenience. But me -- I bet I'm the only threat you've ever really had." Alexis, trying to seem annoyed still, but her curiosity getting the better of her, asks "A threat to what? No. (quietly) It's poetic justice. You may have your accusation, Katherine, if that makes you feel better. It's instructive in a way." Alexis says, "Katherine, this has..... got to stop...."
