Kate Mc Gregor (character) - Season Three

Season Three

Romantic tension grows between Mike and Kate throughout season three.

In the first episode 'Catch and Release', the whole crew is distraught to lose one of their own. This grief strengthens Mike and Kate's bond, both offering support for the other.

In episode three 'China Dolls', Kate finds herself getting attached to a baby born on board the ship, his mother dying during childbirth. With technical help from Robert (RO), Kate attempts to trace the baby's aunt, who is already in Australia.

In episode four 'Guns', the Hammersley crew rescue an Ex-Navy Sailor in a storm. When he reveals to Mike that he knows about his and Kate's relationship at Watson's Bay, Mike and Kate are forced to deal with their feelings.

In episode eight 'Red Sky Morning', Kate leads a steaming party along with Buffer, 2Dads and Cliff Bailey. After Cliff, Buffer and 2Dads all go missing, Kate finds herself alone and at the mercy of Nathan Talbot, a man the crew on Hammersley now know to be an escaped psychopathic prisoner with five random murders already on his record.

In episode nine 'Pearls Before Swine', Kate is furious to hear that 2Dads has started a rumour that she and the ship's Buffer are in an illicit relationship, but not as furious as she is when she finds out Mike believes the rumour.

In episode thirteen 'Red Reef', Kate comes face-to-face with ET's murderers and finds herself in a fight for her life with one of them after the pumping station they are in bursts into fire, leaving only one to survive – in the arms of her C.O.
