It could be a representation of her heart. I could easily respect that read. But it felt like she had some kind of experience for the situation. If not with Steph, with someone.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I thought Katie knew the rules because Brit had briefed her before they walked in the door.
Because I just watched that bit: Katie arrives, and Hank says he needs a babysitter and tells her Steph is there. Katie's surprised by that, so she definitely wasn't briefed. Hank says, "You know the rules, right?" and she nods, and Hank & Britt leave. And then in the truck Britt's all, "There's rules, man, for your sister?"
I'd be inclined to handwave it as unimportant but I feel like all the "2 years ago" and "it's been a year" and "543 days of sobriety" signals that there is a fairly definite timeline to the backstory. But see above re: crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ah, thanks for filling in the details of that scene. Hm.

Wow. I first was mildly confused about the show's timeline, but that was OK. Now I'm just confused by your posts.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Heh. I'm the opposite of Shir. Strega's post made things clearer for me. It's interesting to see which things overlap. I had wondered how Gretchen knew Brit and Katie so well that she wanted them at her wedding.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, no, I think you're right, Strega. I mean, on another show I would figure it was handwavey, but this is the kind of show where that detail would come back to pay off. I definitely got that impression initially, that Katie knew Steph.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't think it's possible to overthink continuity where Shawn Ryan shows are concerned.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Something occured to me today. As pissed as Brit is going to be that Hank knew about Katie's indiscretion, he's not going to be real happy finding out that Hank used Brit's half of the Bearer Bonds also to pay for Steph's assisted living. That hasn't hit the fan yet either.
