Theories about
Kate Austen

Theories may be removed if ...
Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Island Kate

Kate tells Sun in "Hearts and Minds" that she was actually heading to Bali, perhaps revealing that being in Australia was only an intermediate step. She had very little incentive to lie given that she did not believe Sun spoke English at the time.
Her true feelings lie with Sawyer, because when Sawyer told her to leave when they were in the cages she could not, and climbed back into her cage. However, when Jack tells her to leave she goes, because Sawyer is coming with her.
Cassidy sent Kate money and informed her that Diane was dying (after she turned Sawyer in, her money was returned to her).
In "Par Avion", Mikhail states that Kate is not on Jacob's list because she is "flawed". This may be a reason why Kate is not pregnant; she is unable to conceive, tying in with The Others "breeding" program.
She may have used the ticket Kevin got for their honeymoon, traded it in for a ticket to Australia. Then after she was turned in by Kevin they traced her fake name to the ticket and to Australia and that's how they knew she was down there and put up posters and a reward.

Kate agreed to not leave California for 10 years. This may interfere with her trying to get back to the Island in the future.
Kate will take Aaron off the Island when she is leaving because Claire will be dead or separated from Aaron.
Kate will meet Cassidy again before her trial.
kate is talking to cassidy and clementine about sawyer as the favor to him off the island. this is what she could not tell jack.
Kevin will show up, inform Kate that he never filed for divorce when she left, so they are still legally married, and demand half of Kate's Oceanic settlement.
- Since Kate married Kevin under the name Monica, not the name Kate, they are not legally married. Kate may have given half her Oceanic settlement to Cassidy for Clementine, as part of her promise to Sawyer.
  - Sawyer was oblivious to the fact the Oceanic Six will get a huge settlement from Oceanic.
