In regards to Kat vs Eva... I'm on both of their sides and also not on their sides.. and that's what makes their feud so interesting to me. Usually a feud involves an antagonist and an innocent victim... but here, both are have positive and not so positive traits.
Kat is 100 % justified in not wanting to have a relationship with Eva. While her instincts about Eva turned out to be valid, her initial view of Eva was a classist view (just like her aunt Dani). And while I think Eva sleeping with Tomas was a really bad move, the fact that she's instantly forgiven Tomas knocks her down a few notches in my book. It takes two to cheat, and he did lie to Eva that he/Kat were broken up or else Eva wouldn't have gone there with him.
Eva is trying to make amends in her own way over her mistakes, but sometimes a leopard doesn't change their spots and/or change takes time. It also doesn't help that Ted keeps encouraging her to reach out to Kat, but she's an adult and she should know that Kat hates her and all she's doing is poking the bear.
One of my favorite re-sets has shifted the feud from being about Tomas to being about Ted, their father. I do think it's interesting that Nicole is still kind of on Eva's side and I wish the show would explore that a bit. And no, I do not want a baby switch and/or it to come out that Eva is really Nicole's child. A skilled writing team can make the dynamics work without going the standard switched at birth route.
Tomas/Kat haven't had any stakes in their coupling since Eva was taken out of their orbit... but I have a feeling his being given a promotion by Bill to buy his silence will possibly play a part down the road between the two.
Eva/Izaiah also haven't had any stakes in their coupling, but I have a feeling if he witnesses another fight between Kat/Eva.. he'll see Eva isn't quite the victim she makes herself out to be and he'll start to recall the warnings he got about her from Kat, Jacob, and Naomi.
Time will tell.
