The end of this article mentions a novel calledWhat Kate Did. Shouldn't this readWhatKaty Did - as in the Susan Coolidge book? --bUcKaRoO17:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The reference used to read Katy, not Kate, but it shouldn't be there at all (and has been removed previously, only to pop up once again): it is speculative, completely unconfirmed by the producers (who have stated that the title came from all the people who kept asking about "what Kate did", etc. There's absolutely nothing to link this episode to the Coolidge book. I'd remove it again, but am choosing not to edit the fancruft-laden single episode articles, since it's an exercise in futility, given instances like that. The core article is atEpisodes of Lost (Season 2). --PKtm19:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clearing that up. --bUcKaRoO11:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
PerWP:LOST/Episode guidelines, this page should be moved fromWhat Kate Did toWhat Kate Did (Lost), to make it consistent with the otherLost episodes atCategory:Lost episodes.

I am not certain that calling Sam "Kate's stepfather" is technically correct. Has it been established that Wayne Jansen is Kate's father of legal record, listed on her birth certificate or whatever? If not, I think it's more likely that, as far as public records are concerned, Sam Austen is considered her father. As I understand it, "stepfather" means a man who marries a woman who already has borne children by another man (before the marriage). I don't know what the correct term would be for cases like Sam, where official documents claim that he is the biological father, but this is not actually true due to infidelity by the child's mother. Can anyone out there shed any light on this matter?

I removed this info:The episode title is likely a reference to the famous children's bookWhat Katy Did. It's really interesting and seems plausible, unfortunately without a reference, it can't be included, but if any info can be found...
