Taking to X - formerly Twitter - fans speculated about what could be yet to come for the potential lovebirds.
One fan said: "I have the feeling it will be Kim & Cain that has the affair."
Another added: "Kim is attracted to Cain and tried to get him to sleep with her a few years ago. Will the writers revisit this? Cain & Kim affair before year is over?"
