K.C.

**KC** is one of the main characters in *The I-Land*. She is portrayed by Kate Bosworth.

## Early life

K.C. was married to Rick and they had two sons together. She was a waitress at a bar, since her husband was too lazy to find a job. Rick was physically and verbally abusive towards her. At the bar one day she met Jordan, with whom she fell in love and had an affair. She went every day to meet him in his hotel room until the day he left town. She told her husband about the affair, explaining how any man was better than him. In rage, he waterboarded her, saying that she was going to get her divorce and never see her sons again. This caused her to have a mental breakdown.

Devastated, it sent her spiraling leading her to murder her sons, convincing herself that death was better than abuse. She drugged her sons with cold medication and drove the car into the ocean, after she got out. At home, she stabbed herself in the stomach with a knife in an attempt to kill herself, but Rick saved her.

K.C. was sentenced to the death penalty. At one point, she signed up for the redemption program and had her memories swiped.

## Throughout the series

### Season 1

#### Brave New World

K.C. and Chase are the first two people to wake up on the beach; K.C. wakes up next to a knife, whereas Chase wakes up next to a shell. Chase approaches K.C., asking her if she knows where they are. K.C. says that she doesn’t; the two then realize that they’ve forgotten their names. After showing each other their items, Chase notes that they at least have two supplies. K.C. disagrees, pulling out her knife. “Nope. *I* have something, and *you* have something.” She then tells Chase that she doesn’t know her. Chase agrees, suggesting that they could possibly be friends, to which K.C. retorts “or you might *not*.” Chase tells her to put the knife down since she isn’t holding it right, but K.C. wonders why she would know that. Chase then grabs the knife from her, ignoring K.C.‘s demands to return it.

When the castaways have grouped together, they go through the different possible scenarios. When someone suggests that there could be dead bodies floating in the ocean from a plane crash, K.C. notes that dead bodies don’t float at first - which creeps out Brody. She then sarcastically belittles Chase, before discovering that each of their names is on a tag on the back of their shirts.

Later, when Chase accuses Brody of trying to rape her, K.C. grins, implying that she doesn’t believe her.

She later is the first to leave the sign that Chase found.

#### The Gorgeous Palaces

After a particularly tense encounter in the woods between K.C. and Brody, with the group he brings up moving in-land again.

#### Many Goodly Creatures

Chase returns to the beach, tied up while the group discuss what to do about her following Brody’s murder. Still tied up, she tells the others what she experienced with the Warden but no one believes her. She warns them it’s going to get worse, leading K.C. to ask her if she’s got any proof.

With the group split over what to do, K.C., Cooper and Moses head off to the abandoned village where they find a group of huts. As Bonnie and Clyde smile from afar and mutter “let the games begin”, the various cohorts begin to have visions of their past life. As cracks begin to form in the group, Chase heads back to the abandoned hotel and begins looking around. Reminding herself this is all a simulation, she finds a bloody woman asking for help in one of the rooms; a woman who happens to be her Mother. As she keeps looking, Chase opens a door and looks on in shock over what she’s found.

#### The Great Globe Itself

K.C. awakens to a vision of Aidan burning the abandoned village she and Moses are sleeping at. She approaches the boy and reminds him she loves him but as it turns out, her son wasn’t actually there it was her doing the burning all this time. As Bonnie and Clyde laugh at the chaos consuming the group, more visions see the past begin to manifest itself. Ironically, the same word tattooed on Donovan’s chest.

As the visions become more intense, Chase questions the truth of these hallucinations and whether these have been planted in their memories or not. Meanwhile K.C. and Moses head out to the water where he holds her in his arms while the visions of the past show her driving into the water.

Meanwhile K.C. and Moses arrive at the abandoned hotel where they find Cooper and Chase. They decide to hear the them out, but not before Cooper experiences another vision. Here, we see Cooper kill Chase’s Mother and make it look like a break-in. As we see him pull the trigger in the vision, it turns out he actually shoots Moses in real-time too. As Chase looks set to hit him, Clyde arrives and tells her he’ll take it from here.

A dizzying action sequence takes place, with an abundance of quick cuts and disorientating shots as Cooper and Chase fight off Bonnie and Clyde. This sees Bonnie stabbed through the mouth, followed by Chase stabbed in the stomach. As Bonnie and Clyde both fade from the simulation, Chase stumbles off to the beach, leaving K.C. and Cooper as the only two uninjured cohorts left. As Chase blacks out, she awakens back in the prison again.

#### The Dark Backward

The Warden awakens on the island to find K.C. and Cooper, who welcome him to One-Land.
