Hey, I didn't say news from the Senate hearing was THE nail in the coffin; I said it was an EXTRA nail in the coffin

. There were a whole lotta nails in the coffin where Michael and Kay's marriage was laid to rest

.
And even though the turning point when Kay was resolved to leave may well have been right after the Tahoe shooting, I don't think that automatically makes her immune to being horrified at anything she would hear later at the Senate hearings. When confronted with it out loud in no uncertain terms, I would not find it unusual for Kay to recoil in shock just thinking about what she had been involved in (as in, "Oh God, how could I have deluded myself for so long? ... I endangered the lives of myself and my children ... I have to face the fact that the young man I married has committed these monstrous acts ...")
