[ She's as careful as she can be, and like— obviously, given Wynonna's current state. Kate might not be able to really see how she's been injured with the fight. But there's no hiding the pain from it. And if a man was able to knock a grown man with a single punch then— yikes.

Still, she hugs like she means it. Which she does, one hand gently petting Wynonna's back. Like how she wishes someone could have just hugged her, back home. Like how she hugged her sisters, the last time she saw ever them. ]

I forgive you.

[ And she means it, of course she does. She's hurt by it all. She's frustrated and upset — with Ruby getting shot, with Lieutenant Little getting knocked out, with Wynonna making these choices. And she's worried that Wynonna's going to get herself killed and then— well, what a waste. What a waste of someone so special.

But Wynonna's sorry. And of course Kate forgives her. ]

I just... I want better for you, Wynonna. [ Wynonna has her ways. The blasé too-cool, not super serious vibe. Kate's seen it. But Kate's seen the other parts of Wynonna too. She's brave and good. There's the secret soft center to her, of a girl who was once called 'Nona'. ] And.. I know this place sucks, but I know in some ways it can be better for people.

[ She doesn't understand, though. If I die, it all falls on Waverly. Kate frowns. She wants to ask, she's not sure if she should. ]

Then you've gotta work on keeping yourself in one piece to get back to her, right?
