Katherine Bishop

Katherine Bishop is the mother of Maya Bishop.

Maya's Racing
Katherine's husband, Lane, openly preferred their daughter to their son. When Lane started ignoring Maya after she got second place in a race, Katherine just sat by and watched, even after he took a dish of mashed potatoes away from Maya and threw it at the wall after openly insulting both their children. ("Into the Woods")

Visiting Maya
A few months after Maya made captain, Katherine came to visit her, saying she felt it was time to visit her daughter's workplace. She then revealed that she'd left Lane and apologized to Maya for not protecting her from the abuse. Maya said she loved her dad and didn't believe he was abusive. She told her mother she was just being dramatic. When the team was called out, Maya left, but Katherine stayed at the station. Hearing Ben and Sullivan fight made her nervous, so she kept busy by helping set up the tables for that night's spaghetti dinner. When Maya returned, she was upset with her mother for coming into her workplace and taking over. She re-iterated that her father was the reason she won a gold medal and said that Katherine needed therapy, but she didn't think she did. ("The Ghosts That Haunt Me")

Romantic
She is married to Lane Bishop. After spending some time in therapy, Katherine began to understand how abusive he was to her and their children and decided to leave him. ("The Ghosts That Haunt Me")

Familial
She and her husband have two children, Maya and Mason. As adults, Maya is a fire captain and Olympic gold medalist while Mason is a homeless artist.
