## Biography

Katie’s an enigma, her life dedicated to serving one mysterious goal for a whole decade. So she’s built a lot of defensive walls and, though she’d never admit it, is actually quite lonely. Love – real love – hasn’t had a place in her life for a long time. But then she meets Stefan. Suddenly she has to ask herself – can she learn to live for something other than revenge?

In the series, Katie is about to marry Hugo Delaney. Her wedding gets interrupted by Stefan who tells her to marry him instead. After the whole Delaney family gets poisoned at the wedding, Katie disappears. While Stefan gets grilled at the station about the poisoning, Katie crashes into the police station and convinces Stefan to escape with her in the chaos of everything that's happening.

Stefan and Katie make their way to a village north of Edinburgh, where Katie is sure that the family black sheep, Fred Delaney, will help them. Stefan grows frustrated with Katie's lack of transparency about the situation and suspicious of Fred. He convinces Katie that Fred is not to be trusted and the two escape just as mysterious men in pest control vans arrive at Fred's home. The two escape on a fishing boat across the lake.

Stefan and Katie make their way to a lakeside diner. Angry with Katie, Stefan goes on a walk, only to return and find Katie in the middle of fighting the men who were pursuing them. Stefan manages to hijack the van they throw Katie in and the two escape, driving towards the men's base of operations -- a Glasgow nightclub. They get kidnapped by Katie's ex-husband, Conrad, who tells Stefan she used to go by the name Keira Dunmore.

Congrad questions the two about Katie's hen-do, where she convinced Stefan to accompany her to the Delaneys' casino in Las Vegas. Katie helped Stefan win at blackjack by card counting, knowing this would distract security enough for her to break in and steal a drive. To throw security off their tail they pretended to get married by a Prince impersonator. Conrad wants to turn them in to The Block but the police show up. Katie escapes while Stefan gets taken into custody.

A police detective later brings Stefan to Katie, who decides to turn herself in, but the group is attacked by the Block. Katie admits to Stefan that she had secretly edited her prenup to inherit the building built over her father's pub in the event of a divorce due to infidelity. The two plan to sneak into the Texas wedding, where Metts will be in attendance. They steal Metts' EpiPen, and withhold it long enough so she can confess to the murder of the Delaneys, which she had done on orders from the Block.

Metts tells Stefan that Hugo's father had received a double dose of poison, because Katie really had planned to poison him at the wedding in revenge for his role in her father's death. Stefan is appalled that Katie had lied to him about her innocence.

Katie kidnaps the bride, Mitzi, steals the deed to the building the Delaneys built over her father's pub, and drives away. Katie holds Mitzi hostage in an empty church in the Texan desert while admitting to her that she loves Stefan. Metts arrives with Stefan, pointing a gun at his head to force Katie to come out and surrender Mitzi. Finally, at the end, Katie negotiates away the rights to the building she wanted in exchange for their freedom.

She and Stefan are now dating and happy. In the final scene, Katie goes to get into her car but it explodes.
