Kitty leans in for a kiss!

Yuri and Kitty have admittedly become a lot closer since the last episode, and now that Yuri has left her home and moved in with Kitty, things are a lot more intense. Kitty’s emotions are at an all-time high, and the more she tries to be away from Yuri, the closer Yuri gets. KISS has a talent show coming up, and Yuri offers to teach Kitty a Korean fan dance. Again, this means both of them are in close proximity. As the two of them get physically closer, Kitty is unable to control her emotions as she leans in for a kiss. Before the kiss can or cannot happen, the rest of the girls come in for practice. So that’s a mystery that gets overshadowed in the rest of ‘XO, Kitty’ Episode 9. This series really managed a mid-episode cliffhanger!

What’s in store for Yuri and Kitty?

If viewers were hoping for the ‘almost kiss’ to get resolved later in ‘XO, Kitty’ Episode 9, that’s not the case. Yuri and Kitty both have far too much on their plate and after Yuri finds out that Kitty has been keeping secrets, their friendship might just have reached the end of the tether. As Yuri leaves with her mother and newly found half-brother, Alex Finnerty, Kitty is left sobbing on her own. Kitty does try coming clean to Dae, who turns a deaf ear and makes his own assumptions. Is this enough for Kitty to go back to America, away from all the drama?

You can stream all episodes of ‘XO, Kitty’ on Netflix from May 18, 2023.
