This happens when Kate gets really sick and Sara is so caught up in trying to get well that she is losing precious time that she should be spending with her family while she can.

She wanted to take her back to the hospital. Brian took the kids and went to the beach and said to Sara “Better come, if you don’t, I want a divorce”.
