I also don’t think he’s childish. He’s facetious and glib sure but not childish.

I think when it came down to it Kai was way more serious about coven and witch stuff than Jo.

She craved an “ordinary” life. She wanted to become a doctor and growing up mourned the life she’d feel she never obtain because her destiny was to die in the merge with Kai.

Despite him not being able to generate his own magic he was stronger than Jo because he spent a lifetime studying magic.

I imagine before the tension got bad they actually got along and were affectionate with each other as small children. But it later grew into a bitter resentful dynamic.

Jo resents Kai for feeling like she has to die for him.

Kai resents Jo for being the twin that had magic.

And the pressure on both of them was immense.

I also don’t think Kai felt “arrogantly entitled” to become leader of the coven. He actually spent his whole life preparing for it. He was a wizard, a walking encyclopedia of Gemini history and magic. He had to make up for being a siphon. He spent 22 years studying and preparing to finally become someone the coven respects.

So when he found out his parents secretly were breeding his replacements he flipped. He also found out Jo had known about this plan for quite some time. Feeling deeply betrayed by her he non-fatally stabbed her. This was the last straw for Jo. Any sympathy she had for Kai vanished when he stabbed her and killed their siblings. So without remorse or hesitation she agreed to help lock him away.

The coven actually originally wanted to execute Kai. But it was Sheila and Jo that suggested a prison world. With Kai gone and the merge no longer her burden, she went on to live the life she always wanted. Kai in his prison spent a lot of his time becoming even more of a genius.

So 18 years later there is a complicated tragic sibling relationship. Where there is bitter resentment, betrayal, and deep down under their trauma a soft spot for one another.

This is why I hate the wedding scene. I just feel like Kai at his worst could never kill Jo. Punish her, yes but not kill. It never made sense how we went from “you’re pregnant. have a nice life sissy” to “actually sis I want you dead.”

These are all my head canons of course. Kai and his family/coven were never explored properly, so it was all left for interpretation and fan theories. Which I love btw.

I love reading other fans POV and head canons even if they’re much different than mine. Kai, the Gemini coven, Bonnie, Bonkai all such wasted potential.

There were so many directions to take Kai’s character but the writers went no where.
