Kevin then confronts Kate about the rut she’s currently in and hints towards the night their father Jack died.

“Where are you at? Are you still sitting in your car eating fast food staring at where the house used to be?” Kevin says. “He’s gone, okay? And he’s not coming back. Even if you sit in the exact same spot you were when he left, he’s not coming back.”

This alludes to the fire Jack died in, and indicates that Kate was sitting outside as her father went into their home and perished.

From that revelation, Kevin then tries to inspire Kate using their father’s memory.

“He wouldn’t want you to stay, not if there was nothing for you there,” he says. “You know what’d he want for you? Everything.”
