Kate Boyd is the lupus-afflicted partner of Zoe Dunlop, and the birth mother of Emma Boyd, who was enrolled in the same private Christian academy as her half-brother, Charlie Monaghan. While Kate suffered her autoimmune degeneration in a hospital bed, Charlie protected Emma from Sean Hamill, a kid hating Emma for her having two mothers.

Sean cut Emma's ponytail off, which led to Emma stabbing and paralyzing Sean with the scissors used for attacking her hair. Emma's abuse and harassment was revealed, as well as Kate's struggle with her lupus. Kate was met at the hospital when Emma was being taken into custody for aggravated assault. Zoe and her mother Deborah accompanied Emma to the precinct while Charlie stayed at Kate's side.

When Emma was released from custody, she cried on her couch and revealed Kate died at the hospital. (SVU: "Alien")
