However, I agree with Shire that the scene she cites is one nearing that apogee because Michael did it himself and gave no thought to its affect upon his children.
Excellent point, Oli. Michael could not rest with the knowledge that an adversary had survived. He was too far gone at that point.
Now, I seriously doubt that he ever would have physically hurt Kay, sans the slap in the face in the, "it was an abortion" scene.
However, you make an excellent point about him not caring about the effect slamming the door in her face would have on his children.
