New job, new drama.

After Kate’s new boss, Marin (Jami Gertz), hired her with the intention of guiding Marin’s overweight daughter, it was clear this plan had some kinks. And fans will see more workplace drama in episodes to come. “Kate will remotely be working for Marin [during the holidays], and so I think that maybe [Marin’s daughter] will be coming back,” Metz teases.

There’s more family conflict on the horizon.

According to Metz, the upcoming Thanksgiving episode will reveal some serious new family drama: “When families get together, everything bubbles up to the surface, and it’s all heightened because it’s the holidays. You’re supposed to just mind your p’s and q’s, but there’s a lot going on in the family that we haven’t really seen yet.”

Kate’s journey of self-discovery will continue to develop, leading to some tough choices. “I will say Kate’s going to make two very big decisions that are really going to affect her and will affect the family,” Metz says.
