King of the Hill Gives Bobby a Surprise Romance Years in the Making

King of the Hill is back with a new season of episodes fifteen years after the original came to an end, and with its new season has given Bobby Hill a new romance that’s literally been years in the making. King of the Hill is back in action with a new wave of episodes taking place eight years following the end of the original series, and with it has introduced a whole new take on Bobby. He’s now a 21 year old chef working in Dallas, and figuring out this new phase of his life as other people his age opted to go to college instead.

Warning! Major spoilers for King of the Hill Season 14 to follow! The main focus of Bobby’s stories for King of the Hill Season 14 is seeing how Bobby’s figuring out his new life in adulthood while managing his social life around him. He’s never been afraid of potential romances in the original series, however, and it’s very much the same in the new era. Bobby has a series of flings throughout the course of the new episodes, but it all leads to an eventual fully confirmed romantic relationship with Connie Souphanousinphone years after the two broke up when they were kids.

King of the Hill Season 14 might be broken up into episodic stories, but releasing all ten of its episodes at once helps to highlight the serialized story that Bobby goes through. As Bobby adjusts to his new life of working as a chef in his own restaurant, he ends up reconnecting with childhood friend Connie for the first time in years. Bobby himself has had some success with his social life (as was apparent in the original), but it’s clear upon reuniting with Connie that he still very much holds a flame for her.

Through the episodes Bobby even briefly starts to date a new character named Willow, but he never loses interest in connecting with Connie. Though they spend a lot of time together as friends, Bobby and Connie soon realize that they still like one another and start dating in full before the season comes to an end. This comes with its own set of problems as well as the two of them have to get to know each other as adults despite spending so much time together in their youth.

What Happens Next for Bobby and Connie?

With King of the Hill Season 14 steadily bringing Bobby and Connie together in an official romantic partnership, it’s now time for the two of them to explore what dating is going to be like as adults. The original series had the two break up because they realized they were just too different, and were growing up in different directions. It’s the same kind of core issue now that they are adults, but instead it’s revealed that they appreciate those differences more now that they can see a much fuller picture.

Bobby was worried after hearing Connie practicing ethical non-monogamy, and the fact he didn’t go to college, would mean that he wouldn’t fit into Connie’s new life. But it’s then revealed that Connie appreciates the fact that Bobby always knew what he wanted to do and is actually making it happen. It’s a perspective Bobby hadn’t been able to see for himself, and if King of the Hill continues with new episodes we’ll likely see this pair develop even further.
