Quote #4
The most dangerous thing about W.W. Hale the Fifth was that, when he grew up, he really wanted to be her father. (5.29)
Creepy, much? Isn't there some kind of a romantic tension between Hale and Kat? And how much do we know about this Hale guy, anyway? We wonder if he's an assassin. Or worse: Donald Trump.
Quote #5
"Those of us who don't abandon our families are able to learn these things." (8.37)

Quote #6
Uncle Eddie seemed to be measuring [Kat] against her mother as a thief. [...] Her father seemed startled by her, as if his eyes had mistaken her for his long-lost wife. (14.26)
