Kimberly is impressed by the food that the Reverend Sloan orders for them in his hotel room. They come with their own miniature ketchup bottles. Seeing her joy in them, he makes sure to order additional bottles. She doesn't use all of them and takes them home to put on her window ledge where she can seem them.

At first, the bottles represent her feelings for Reverend Sloan, but then later, they represent the possibility of a better life outside of Underhill.
