I love seeing Katherine sabotage Bree’s cooking demonstration with such ease. She sets the stage by only answering the reporter’s when spoken to, and calmly yet effectively praises Bree for her cooking excellence, the exact opposite of Bree’s expectations given their previous exchange. Katherine then fakes a wrist injury with such precision that it speaks to Dana Delaney’s acting skills. She catches Bree of guard by asking her to make the spun sugar veil for the cake knowing Bree will fail. She slips in a few sly remarks, and watches as the caos ensures. Classic Katherine Mayfair at her best. She destroys her enemy by letting her destroy herself.
Same here. I find it surprising how much dislike there is toward Katherine from the fanbase, because I find her fascinating. She was Bree's shadow self and probably could've been written as her sister, if the writers really wanted to go that route (maybe cousin). Katherine knew Bree better than anyone else, and there's no doubt in my mind that she would've stood by Bree's side in Season 8 - through everything that happened.
