Kate

Kate was a pig that was at the center of a life-defining moment for both Brad and Zach Baskhi. The Bakshi brothers given animals to take care of during their  time in the 4-H club, and they approached the pig's terminal condition in different ways. Brad saw the animal as more of a pet who needed to be cared for in her weakening condition. Zach, however, saw the pig as something losing its utility. As Zach told Jo, Brad didn't have the strength of will to slaughter the pig. In the end, Zach ended up killing her so that she could at least be salvaged for her meat.

This experience was a metaphor for what Zach was trying to do with Mythic Quest Studios. Just as with Kate, Brad was, according to Zach, afraid to do what needed to be done -- to carve up MQ for its more valuable parts.
