InDesign Tables breaking across pages for no apparent reason

Running into this behavior throughout a catalog I'm working on. When there's more than enough room left on the page, it keeps kicking the last row of the table onto the next page. If I highlight all cells and go to Cell Options, Rows and Columns, and tick "keep with next row," it throws the entire table on the next page, leaving a huge gap on the page where it could've fit the whole thing. What option do I inadvertently have selected that's making this happen? See image

do you have perhaps, after the last row one paragraph return with option "keep with previous" enabled, as in my screenshot?

OK, that DOES seem to have been the case...no idea how that happened! It was just on those two returns, which should've been no different than any others throughout the catalog. Now I want to try and figure out how that happened but as usual, I don't have time lol. Thanks Vladan
