The most telling quote of this episode is "Because I didn't have murder in my heart." This is Kate's father's answer as to why he didn't kill Wayne.
Kate confesses, speaking to phantom Wayne inside Sawyer, "because I had you inside me". Not because Wayne beat her mom. Not because he looked at Kate that way. She killed him because he represented the evil inside Kate herself.
Are we supposed to like these people? Oh, I already was ambivalent toward Kate. After all she killed those bank robbers, her accomplices, pretty easily just so she could get her toy plane back. On the other hand she can be pretty likeable on the island, and she does have great physical appeal I can't quite put my finger on. And now we see that she is perhaps the worst character on the island. I'm pretty sure she continues to be one of the "protagonists" of the series.
The people on the island are an interesting mix. Sawyer appears to have nothing good in his character, but who knows what we will yet learn. Ana Lucia killed a man in cold blood. Justified? She certainly had motives to hate him, but is murder justifiable, ever? And she had just turned down the opportunity to let the justice system punish him.
Then there are the people who seem to be getting the unfair end of things. Shannon, Claire, Walt and Michael, and probably Sun.
It's popular now adays to glorify criminals and should-be heroes who do wrong thing in TV and movies.
