The latest season saw Yuri navigating this big change in her life, as Garza said:''We left Yuri really heartbroken and realizing that she has a lot of personal growth that needs to happen...This season was about her reinventing herself, but in the process, she becomes somebody who is able to be worthy of that love and that relationship that she broke in the previous season.''More on this in our story.XO, Kitty Season 3: Exploring Yuri's growth in the latest season of Netflix's teen series View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe XO, Kitty Season 2 finale leaves Yuri in a pretty bad place. While her relationship with Juliana had taken a serious turn for the worse because of her complicated dynamics with Kitty, she also discovered that her family had lost their fortune in a lawsuit. This ripping of Yuri's financial standing and her identity as a wealthy heiress sets the stage for her character's growth in the latest season. While Yuri has always been defined by her social standing, she is forced to look beyond that image when that identity is compromised, even threatening her final year at KISS, until Kitty steps in and saves the day.XO, Kitty Season 3 showrunner unpacked how the latest season poses many difficult questions for Yuri:''This season was very much about that for Yuri, and she’s dealing with really huge things. She’s lost her fortune. Her parents aren’t in her life. She doesn’t know if she’s going to be able to come back to K.I.S.S...But she’s really working on herself and trying to figure out, “If I’m not Yuri Han, the heiress, who am I?”However, after a round of secrets, humiliation and contemplation around her social standing, she finally comes clean to her friends, reinventing and rewriting her narrative in the process.How does XO, Kitty Season 3 end for Yuri? View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe XO, Kitty Season 3 finale was a cheeky subversion as Yuri launched her own fashion line, 'Riches to Rags,' with the help of Juliana, Kitty and her loyal friends. Gia Kim’s character has served as a fashion inspiration throughout the series, culminating in a full-circle moment in the Season 3 finale where she redefined herself from the ground up, paving the way for a bold new journey in the seasons ahead.Elsewhere, while Yuri and Juliana had decided to remain platonic, with the former focusing on her business and the latter in a relationship with Praveena, sparks were still flying between the two.

It's interesting how Yuri only won another chance with Juliana in the XO, Kitty Season 3 finale when she was finally content in her reinvented identity and had stopped chasing after her ex-girlfriend. This suggests that the latest season was certainly of immense growth and lessons for Yuri and she reaped her much-deserved fruit in the end.As for Kitty and Yuri's friendship, the relationship between Kitty’s cousin and Yuri’s half-brother helped strengthen the characters' bond and they are closer than ever, as Garza revealed to Variety:''Kitty and Yuri are always going to be in each other’s lives. The journey that they’ve taken this season was very deep and very profound, even though it was platonic. At the end of the day, they are winding up being family...''XO, Kitty Season 3 is streaming on Netflix.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
