Kim and Scott began a romantic relationship during this time, but it ended abruptly when Scott's family moved to Toronto. This event, along with Scott's handling of the situation, left Kim hurt and contributed to her cynical attitude.

In Toronto, she reunited with Scott and, along with Stephen Stills, they formed Sex Bob-omb. Throughout the series, Kim struggles with her unresolved feelings for Scott while navigating the complexities of young adult life, including difficult relationships with roommates and frustrating work experiences. Her history with Scott is complicated by both of their memories being altered due to interference from Gideon Graves, adding layers of confusion and resentment to their already complex relationship. She now has her own band called "SEX BOB-OMB."
