perfectly normal. Georgia panics that Kyle might not like the performance, but Kate replies that Karl has already given it the thumbs up. Kate then explains that she doesn't feel up to going to the gig. Georgia
is disappointed, but tells Kate she has done some more research on treatment options for Kate. Kate thanks Georgia, but persuades Georgia not to think about it, but to instead focus on the gig.
