WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 3, episode 7
The Boys just made Kimiko and Frenchie's dynamic way more complicated — is this a love story, or something else?

Kimiko admits the kiss didn't feel "bad" but also concedes it was "weird." She ends by telling Frenchie their bond is "more than that" and describes him as "family."
