Do you think Kate...
I know this might be a long shot but could Kate have actually been bitten during the attack on Prescott? I know the explanation we get in game for her condition is sepsis, but what if this is just a red herring to throw us off? If you think about it, she has all the symptoms of a bite. These include high fever and extreme weakness much like Lee near the end of season 1. Not to mention she said she was really thirsty just like Pete was back in season 2 if you saved him. Also, towards the end of episode 2 she seemed to be getting paler as well.
I looked up symptoms of sepsis and the only one she has which is apparent is the fever. If you analyze the timeline, the Prescott attack took place sometime late at night, and after they escape the sun started to rise. I'd say the drive to Richmond took a few hours, which puts them at the front gates sometime during noon. This is enough time for her to develop the symptoms but not enough time for her to turn just yet.
This could also explain why Eleanor left her behind in the car. Even if they didn't know Richmond was taken over, it seems careless for Eleanor to just leave Kate all alone like that, unless she knew for sure her death is certain. Maybe this could be a reason why things go bad between you and David. I don't think David would blame Javi for Mariana's death, but I'm sure he would blame you if Kate turns and kills a few of his men (even if you didn't know she was bitten, he probably wouldn't believe you). Like I said, I know its a long shot, but I just found the circumstances a bit too coincidental. So what are your thoughts? Did anyone else think this was a possibility?
Comments
I like to think Kate wouldn't just keep the knowledge of being bitten a secret. She's better than that.
I hope that's not the case but you never know
(R.I.P Double Post)
I don't think so, she could barely move during the escaping. I think someone would've noticed her being bitten.
I doubt it, That whole scene was just building to the kid being sniped
I think they mean during the attack on the community not the junkyard.
No...it is sepsis...and internal bleeding.
I think she may be bitten... I wish not...
If she was bitten, she'd have told Javi in the car during her "graceful exit" monologue. Either way, that's one dead woman walking if I ever saw one.
No she is not bitten, if she was bitten, she would have start spitting blood or, become unusually grey and she was but she got her color back,
Lets take a look! A quick google search shows the following:
Symptoms of Sepsis: Fever, heavy breathing, increase heart rate, confusion.
Kate only has the fever and hasn't really shown other symptoms. Now lets look at the symptoms of a walker bite.
Symptoms of Bite: Fever, fatigue/weakness, thirst, pale skin, fainting, coughing blood.
Kate has pretty much most of the symptoms of a bite. If I were to take a guess, I'd say we could have the beginning of walker. However, I'm sure she will turn regardless if she is bit or not. We'll have to wait and see.
Rando...trust me...she is not bit...it is sepsis. Remember there was a competent doctor right by her side. There were no bites on her. Sepsis can have all of those or some of those or even none of those symptoms. Plus the confusion is in the second stage of Sepsis ...severe sepsis...severe sepsis has the following symptoms..sudden confusion...decreased urine output breathing difficulty...abdominal pain and heart rate inconsistency. Third is Septic Shock...the symptom for that is low blood pressure that cannot be offset with fluids. Septic shock is 50/50 survival...she is at stage1...
But let's think, how could Kate have possible been bit without anybody noticing? She was with Eleanor the whole time.
No but she could turn into a zombie after her death.
Well, Eleanor herself doesn't know what is wrong. After all she said "Probably sepsis" while driving...not while examining her. Now to be honest, I don't think she is bit, but it is quite a coincidence that she has a lot of the bite symptoms. Maybe sepsis is facade for something worst? Who knows?
Maybe that is why Eleanor just up and left? I agree with Clem, I trust Tripp more than Eleanor.
True Eleanor can only make an educated guess based on training...but she was with Kate...rode in the back of the car with Kate when they escaped Prescott.
But If Kate was infected she would have been Grayish, she looked better than the day before. In fact I think she would have been a walker by this point.
True. Like I said, its not likely but it is possible. I did find it strange that she is pretty much ready to die, almost like there is no hope to save her. Kate seems like a fighter so it also doesn't make sense for her to just say "Well, that's that".
Let's not forget that she's also suffered blood loss, and is still bleeding internally, both of which can also lead to pale skin, fatigue, weakness, and thirst. And potentially coughing up blood, though that has yet to happen.
Lee lasted quite a while so I'm sure its still too early. I mean she didn't look too good but I guess she still has some color on her.
I doubt it. Though, I did think she was about to turn when they walked up to the gates of Richmond due to her losing consciousness and letting out a random exhale.
Agreed. I don't think Kate has been bitten either, and most likely, sepsis is an educated guess. (There was some additional dialogue between Javier and Eleanor shortly after the Eli incident where she mentions that she was an EMT and not an actual doctor.)
Lee didn't spit blood
But he was unusually grey though
I'm sure it's all just a coincidence. She'll be ok.
Could it be possible she doesn't know she's bitten? Especially if it's a small scrape/nick. She's numb from the painkillers and the general pain/exhaustion of the bullet wound.
I highly doubt that.
Idk, I hope she was though. Hopefully Gabe's next.
Why do you say that? Kate is a good person.
I hope not. I feel as though that would just add unnecessary shock value to an already shit situation. I think her slowly losing herself from a bullet wound is enough for now.
i don't think so. i'm pretty sure she would of at least opened up about it to javier or, at the very least, tried to.
lol idk I just don't like her. Again this goes back to the "no character development" argument. I don't really hope that, I just don't really care too much. But the "I need to get laid" comment was pretty cringe worthy.
Fair point. I'm not too invested in her either but I don't see a reason NOT to keep her around. On a side note, I thought the comment was pretty funny.
I wouldn't be surprised, but at the same time, I don't think she would. Sepsis can do some crazy things.
... It would be interesting though.
Guy kept passing out, he was losing color in his face cause of it.
EDIT: You'd get this from anything killing you I imagine, but people would definitely jump to look for bites.
That would be interesting, but I really hope that doesn't happen. I'm tired of characters being killed off. I understand that this is The Walking Dead, but I think that since this is a game that's supposed to be tailored by your choices then it should be possible to have people survive for the long run. I think we need a group that can survive multiple seasons if TellTale's Walking Dead isn't done for, if there's still hope for good writing and more seasons.
It's a rule since Season 1 that people that die turn into zombies whether they're bitten or not.
I just realized that I contradicted my own post within said post. My bad.
