Kitty Draper was involved in a car crash with Ivy Shaw as her passenger in January 2024. As a car pile-up took place at a roundabout, Kitty's car beelined for the rocks and foliage in the middle of the roundabout. Ivy checked on Kitty, who had died in the collision, and stole her wallet before fleeing. Ivy then began using Kitty's identity as her own.
It was later revealed by Kitty in August 2024 that the day of the accident was the day that she and the real Kitty were en route to a women's refuge to escape the real Kitty's abusive boyfriend at the time, who was revealed to be Abe Fielding. Kitty realised that Abe was abusive to the real Kitty and quickly informed his girlfriend, Cleo McQueen of what he is capable of. Abe overhears this and demands Kitty leave. A shocked Cleo confronts Kitty the next day and tells her that she does not believe her and that they are no longer friends, as she continues her relationship with Abe.
