After the death of her best friend, June, at the hands of a serial killer in Bikini Bottom, Katherine decides to embark on her own investigation into the man in order to take him down. This pursuit puts her at crossroads with Shadow, who she ultimately stops from murdering his father, Mayor George Coyne. Following Shadow's death in the mayor's house explosion, Vivian convinces Katherine to leave the scene and let her and George deal with the police and media. Vivian tells the media that a hero named 'Miss Appear' saved her and George from Shadow. Following these events, Katherine seeks medical help for her Clinical Depression, re-enrolls in High School to finish her senior year, and becomes a Detective for the Bikini Bottom Police Department. A year later, Katherine becomes haunted by hallucinations, which she initially believe to be Shadow's doing. Eventually. Katherine discovers that Shadow is not the person behind her hallucinations, but rather her brother, Michael Cross. Eventually, Michael traps Katherine in an hallucinated reality, but she comes to override this conditioning, convincing Michael to free her, Molly, Marilyn, Analise, and himself from the fabricated world. At the end of the Season 2 finale, Katherine abandons the 'Miss Appear' identity, embarking on a road trip with her now-girlfriend, Analise.

Analise Rogers / The Sightress 

(Recurring Season 1; Season 2 - Present) - Analise first appears in the third episode of Season 1, "It Should Of Been Me", where she is attacked by Shadow, but manages to survive after a rising sun disables Shadow's ability to kill others. Analise had apparently made headlines in Bikini Bottom by claiming to have the psychic ability to see the future, which is how Shadow found out about her. The character originated on another teenj12 show, "The Bikini Bottomen" , which was initially intended to take place in the Teenjverse alongside Miss Appear. However, after Bottomen was canceled, the show was severed from the shared universe, with Analise's history there being 'retconned'. Following her almost death, Analise is admitted to a hospital on a private floor. Shadow still manages to find her, rampaging his way through the hospital. Analise receives help in escaping him from Katherine Cross and Johnny Flaire. She is eventually moved to two different private facilities - one where Shadow attacks again, killing other powered patients. Once again, Katherine intervenes, and Rogers joins her and Vivian Coyne as they flee the facility. In the last quarter of the season, Analise joins Katherine's crusade in finding Shadow, which increases intimacy between the two women.

In Season 2, Analise and Katherine finally begin to admit their feelings for each other, but Katherine is hesitant to start anything due to the hallucinations that she is suffering (which she believes are caused by Shadow). Analise helps Katherine investigate the source of her hallucinations, with the two sharing their first kiss in the midst of things. In the fifth episode of Season 2, 'Killer M', Analise has a vision of Vivian and herself being cornered by an assassin. This leads Katherine and Analise to charge over to Vivian's home and attempt to rescue her. In the process, Analise is shot by Killer M (Mikey Merlin), and is rushed to the hospital where she begins to recover after a tough night. After Analise gets out of the hospital, she continues to be a source of support for Katherine, and even leads a search for the hero after Killer M had kidnapped her.

Johnny subsequently moves back to his home town of New Coral, after a tearful goodbye with Katherine.

Katherine harbors an intense crush on June, with it being revealed that the two engaged in sexual experimentation on June's prom night. June, however, does not return Katherine's feelings, causing animosity between them (with the added factor of Katherine's depression). June, who worked at the Krusty Krab, accepts a date offer from Shadow (who she didn't know was a serial killer in the making), after he had asked for her number during her shift. During June's date with him (a hike in the park), Shadow murders her, which sets the course for Katherine to investigate June's death, thereby kicking off the events of the entire series.

A year later in Season 2, Morley appears at Katherine's door on the anniversary of June's death. Katherine lets her inside and they have a heart to heart. Morley is now at peace with what happened to her daughter, and the revelation that her daughter was a metafish. She tells Katherine to keep in touch.

He tells Katherine that he is only a desk cop and looking to be promoted into the action. Near the end of the season, Katherine seeks an unwitting Gilbert out of help in finding Shadow. In Season 2, Gilbert finally gets a taste of being out in the field, but on his first assignment, he accidentally shoots and kills Jackie Merlin, the wife of Killer M. This event weighs deep on his conscience, as shown in "Time Doesn't Ease Pain", where he divulges his guilt to Katherine while the two are being held hostage by Patrick Peterson - a metafish with the ability to emit a knock out gas.
