What happened to Cat?


I remember watching an episode where Cat ended up in the hospital and in critical condition. What happened to her? I can't seem to remember the chain of events, but I do remember her almost dying.

She was raped by a boy she went to college with and went into severe shock. I think by the time someone found her, she had lapsed into a coma. I remember the boy who did it coming to visit her in the hospital and bringing flowers; and Teddy saying how lucky Kat was to have a friend like him. When Kat came out of the coma she couldn't remember who did it, and had completely blocked it out. For weeks the police tried working with her to trigger some memory. One night Teddy comes up behind her to ask her something, and taps her on the shoulder (which was what the guy had done) and she just completely breaks the eff down and remembers who it was and what happened. I remember those episodes haunted me for a long time after watching them. They were heartbreaking, and you just feel for Sela Ward, who is devastated and angry and feels so helpless, but has to be strong for her daughter. Gah! I miss that show!

Those episodes haunted me too, so much so that when the actor who played Kyle resurfaced in a guest-starring role on 90210, I couldn't get past the character he portrayed on Sisters.

...AAAND THIS WOULD MEAN; the guy who played 'Kyle' was a good actor!! (ive often heard, ANY STRONG EMOTION felt towards an actor means; they've done their job well. (?!?)
