<p dir="auto">This week's episode revealed a lot more about the Butcher and her and the colony's back story and I'm confused.<br />
I don't understand why she is fighting so much for this land when she's a ghost and can't really interact with it and doesn't need it's resources. And when she kills people on it, they become connected to it, so the invaders end up staying for eternity.<br />
The character doesn't make sense, it just seems like a randomly uber violent menace to serve as an enemy.</p>

<p dir="auto">It's not about being able to use that land or not. They don't like trespassers. They still see it as their land.</p>

<p dir="auto">it shouldn't matter to the ghosts who lives on the land since they can't use it. Good point.<br />

<p dir="auto">She  and her colony are bound to the land.She  did have control leadership issues.KIlling more people  either gives her or gaga more power but it also gives them something to do.She is deluding herself into thinking she is protecting the land.<br />

<p dir="auto">She seemed a little "controlly" before she made the deal with Gaga, though. That's probably part of the reason Gaga saved her in the first place: she sensed a powerful control-freak of a woman, who she knew could use her power to keep people in line. Although Gaga was probably hoping Kathy would convert them all, not kill them</p>

<p dir="auto">I think the bitterness was more about being betrayed by her son and having a f_cking cage locked onto her head.</p>

<p dir="auto">She is very bitter about being not in control, as seen with her abandonment in the forest. She would do anything to be the queen of the land.</p>

<p dir="auto">Does she though? I don't think she wants to control people just to control them, I think she's committed to protecting the colony and exercises severe punishments to ensure its safety. I don't think she wants to have this control just to have it. It's a means to an end, but I feel there's something missing in her story about why she cares as much as she does about these people who reject her.</p>

<p dir="auto">Very well put! It's like she's trying to be the mother to the whole colony, but they're misbehaving so she's punishing them for their own good. Just taken to an extreme!<br />
