set: during episode 9, "seep"

Katherine Wellington was lost in her thoughts, weighed down by grief. First Thomas, then Richard, now this? Since the affair had come to light, she knew Shea would never believe her, but she was worried sick. What sort of madman went after an innocent child?

She saw the way the others looked at her, the other woman, the gold digger. If only they knew… but they didn't, and she wasn't about to tell them. So she left them alone, sitting in her chair in silence.

But not so quiet that she heard Henry's footsteps from behind her.

She never did.
