"**Kathy Hate Everyone**" is the nineteenth episode of *Season 1*.

## Synopsis

When Benjamin ask why Kathy hates everyone in Mrs. Jewls's class. He and his classmate make Kathy like them as friends

## Plot

The episode begin with Kathy and Benjamin, writing letters to their parents in order to complain about them being neighbors and attending Wayside School, brought about by their parents. During the song, Kathy and Benjamin graphically detail their mutual and "unadulterated loathing" toward one another. As the song progresses, the students of Wayside side with Benjamin, expressing their admiration of the fact that she can even tolerate Kathy, and referring to her as a cool grouch.

The students rally around Benjamin and ally against Kathy, who is Wayside School despised. They claim they will maintain their animosity for their entire lives, stating that every little trait of Kathy's makes their skin crawl. Kathy makes the students aware that these feelings are reciprocated, although she does not reveal whether her hatred extends to all of the students, or is reserved exclusively for Benjamin. Benjamin asks Dana why Kathy doesn't like him, Dana stated that he are the stupidest person she doesn't know. She also thinks the he is the ugliest person she doesn't know, and she doesn't know a lot of people. She dislikes almost everyone, especially the people she doesn't know. She thinks D.J. smiles too much and hates John because he can't stand on his head. One of the few things she did like was Sammy, who was a dead rat. Her reasons for disliking each person in the class are often self-fulfilling.

After the introduction, the narrator talks about a time Kathy had a pet cat named Skunks. She was afraid he would run away, but Mrs. Jewls told her that he would stay as long as Kathy took good care of him, and remembered to give him plenty of food and water. However, Kathy thought Mrs. Jewls was wrong, and to keep Skunks around, locked him in a closet just in case, sometimes even forgetting to take care of him. One day, when Kathy was looking for her other shoe, Skunks ran out and never came back. Kathy bragged to Mrs. Jewls, claiming that she was right all along, and tells her that next time she gets a cat, she'll kill him so he never runs away. This is how Kathy started hating Mrs. Jewls.

Kathy has good reasons for disliking other people as well, since as far as she's concerned, each one of them was wrong about something. For example, one time Dameon was trying to teach Kathy how to play catch. Kathy complains that she'll just get hurt, but Dameon states that as long as she keeps her eyes on the ball, everything will be okay. However, worrying that she'll be hurt in advance, she closes her eyes and refuses to catch the ball, thus allowing it to hit her in the face. She claims that Dameon was wrong and she was right as she runs away sobbing.

Later, Maurecia thinks that if she is nice to Kathy, she might be nice to her in return, so she bakes her homemade cookie. Kathy, however, thinks it won't taste good, so she keeps the cookie in her desk. Three weeks later, she decides to eat the cookie, which is now stale and dusty, and as expected, she hates it. Kathy says that she was right about Maurecia's cookie, then the chapter cuts back to narrator, explaining that Kathy thought she had very good reasons for hating everyone in Mrs. Jewls's class, alongside a very good reason for hating the reader. Even though she doesn't know the reader, she knows that if they met her, they wouldn't like her either, and already knows she's right. The chapter ends with the narrator saying it's funny how someone can always be right and still be wrong.
