Honestly surprised no one here guessed it would be Tony before hand. It was literally the first thing everyone thought of on the official forums.

If Tony's here... then maybe Kat is talking to him about making him a new working prosthetic hand. Or how to best make up with his daughter and improve as a dad.

Maybe she is telling him more about her likes and adventures and stuff so he knows how to connect with her. Because let's be honest, she knows his daughter better than he does.

Writer, or something. And... a button? 🖲️

Um.

Tony: doing awkward is his thing. <_< Annie: confused, mixed-up and awkward happens because Tony. -_-

She's gonna demand so many explanations from Kat.

But the basics is, Tony is actually getting along with other people... Maybe he's on the path to fixing himself.

Which, to Annie, probably means jack if he's not making the attempt with her.

Methinks that Tony getting along with Kat is more due to her efforts, rather than his. I wonder if Donald has had a word with his daughter after that dinner...

I doubt Kat would make any efforts. I doubt Tony would consciously try either. I suspect they're actually just compatible on a personal level.

Kat likes Annie, Tony has Annie stories— and in many ways, Annie and Tony are very similar people, personality-wise. Kat would pick up on that, and being sensitive and intuitive the way she is, plus being able to get some distance on that father-daughter relationship, might provide Kat with some insight that the two of them otherwise lack.

Tony's problem with Annie is intense guilt over what he thinks of as what he did to Surma, and I suspect that guilt is compounded by knowing that he's unable to be a better father. They're both barely holding it together whenever they're in the same room, and their defense mechanism is the same: shutting down.

Annie is so freaked out.

I wonder if she's so upset because on some level she felt that as long as Kat hated her father it was okay for her not to. That Kat was a surrogate for her anger.

That's entirely possible. Can't wait for the explanation Friday.

You're optimistic. I doubt we'll see more than Kat's reaction to Annie's comment by then.

Oh Kat, what did you think was going to happen? Did you think Annie would react well to this?

Sometimes it's easier to defend the people we love than to forgive them. Or something.
