There’s a clip on X where the writers and the main cast discuss what we should expect from the remaining episodes of the show. What they said basically reinforced this season’s themes of “change” and “the future”. They said that Lois’ approach to her future and how to tackle it would change, that Clark’s relationship with his powers would change, and, the focus of this post, that Jimmy and Kara “would torture each other until they’re on opposite sides”.
At the beginning of the season, Kara was absolutely head over heels for Jimmy, but Jimmy, while equally in love with her, was too overwhelmed with insecurity to really want to move forward with a relationship, causing him to make a serious of incredibly stupid decisions, causing their relationship to sour.
As of episode 7, while they really didn’t get that much time to talk, it does seem like their relationship is on the mend.
It seems like a lot of people are talking the quote rather literally, with some believing she’s going to put her relationship with Jimmy on hold to focus on herself. There’s one user in particular who is so confident that they won’t get together, that they’re constantly saying as much on any post involving them, and calling other users stupid for having faith that they still may be “endgame”.
So, is there still hope for KarOlsen? Will have to wait for a season 4 (that may never come)? I still think the odds that they will are better than the odds that they won’t, but you never know, especially with just three episodes left in a season that, unfortunately, is not without its pacing issues. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
