IIRC Jeanette's explanation about why she sued and why she supposedly assumed Kate's life were separate in that scene? Jeanette sued because Kate basically ruined Jeanette's life by outing her as someone who saw her in the house but didn't go to the cops about it. In the back and forth shouting over this, Kate then admitted that she was angry about her life being stolen while she was locked up in Martin's basement. Jeanette then elaborates on that saying, as you wrote, that she wanted to experience being in the 'sunlight'. This reasoning was only about why she assumed Kate's life and not why she sued her. Naturally she did lose all the perks of being "New Kate" once actual Kate returned, and this probably did make Jeanette angry, but, for all outward appearances, the law suit was based on the character defamation brought about by Kate's interview.

Exactly...totally agree with everything you've written here and in some of your previous posts relating to the 'anonymous tip' idea. For me, there is absolutely no suggestion anywhere that (1) the police were at Martin's house based on an anonymous tip (for reasons you stated) or (2) that Jeanette phoned in an anonymous tip. The exact dialogue was: Martin: The police came here today. Kate: They did? Martin: It's only a matter of time before they're back with a search warrant What Martin said about the search warrant can easily be viewed as him starting to unravel, realising that the current situation can't go on indefinitely and that, sooner or later, he will slip up or something will tip them off about him being a likely suspect. The whole 'Jeanette phoning in an anonymous tip' suggestion likely comes from people not wanting to accept that she was, in reality, a sociopath who reveled in being popular and having Kate's life...all of which were indicated throughout the ten episodes.
