okay first of all let’s start with the fact she is almost obsessed with alison. kitty and thomas show similar if not the same level of interest into alison but people just don’t talk about it with kitty. she gets upset when alison pushes her away (something thomas also does) and-
-she wants to be around alison as much as she can (like thomas does). their relationship with alison is so very similar. now to get onto the next parallel i won’t ever shut up about
okay so basically kitty is so upset about alison leaving that the captain (who has been absent the whole episode) decides to go and talk to her. because he’s been there before. the captain has been there with havers before and even though he doesn’t know how he felt-
-towards havers he knows he felt a Certain Way and that kitty feels that same way about alison. and he gives her advice because he’s aware that it hurts when you lose someone you care about so deeply.
on the topic of kitty and the captain i think if they decided to make her sapphic in canon (which she pretty much is) their contrasting stories would be. so amazing. like one of them is repressed and then you have kitty who is very vocal about her feelings towards alison-
-and i think it would be great for the captain as well to see kitty being so vocal and see that maybe it would be okay for him too
anyway yeah that’s it
