The Love Haters

SWET training is pushed back several days, but when the morning finally comes, Katie fears it far more than her phobia of swimsuits (which Rue continues to buy for her). Though Rue had been continuing to try to force Katie into bright colors, she also bought her a flattering plain black bathing suit, which Katie is surprised she doesn’t feel terrible in. When Hutch sees the swimsuit before SWET training, Katie is shocked when he scolds her for being “too sexy” and tosses her into the pool before anyone else can have a proper look at her. Katie is terrified as she prepares to undergo the training, but Hutch’s calming words help her. On her first try escaping from the simulation helicopter, things go well until her bathing suit gets caught on a bolt and the seat of it tears off. Hutch gives her his shirt to cover the exposed area, and Katie is mortified.

Katie successfully passes her SWET training while Hutch continually laughs at her swimsuit mishap the rest of the day. When she gets home, Rue greets her with another gift of clothing. Rue says she wants to help because Katie reminds Rue of her younger self.
