Kate was speechless at Erin's accusations because she knew that her sister was not making it up, she knew that most of what Erin had said was true.

Kate felt lightheaded after Erin left her apartment. It was the combination of both physical and mental exhaustion due to all the events of the day plus she was pregnant.
