When it comes to relatable storylines on our favorite tear-jerking series, This Is Us, Kate’s ongoing struggle with confidence takes the cake. A lot of those issues stem from her weight, but it’s made pretty clear in season one (and again in multiple later episodes) that another matter is tying Kate’s psyche up in knots: she feels awfully guilty about the death of her father, Jack. The exact cause for Jack’s heartbreaking demise are still a mystery at this point — although we’re closer than ever to getting an answer — but a fan’s recent theory offers up an explanation for both Jack’s cause of death and Kate’s guilt: did Kate play a major role in starting the fire?
