[Kyle] Previously on Kyle XY...
When I knew that I would not always be here to guide you,
I knew I'd need a way to communicate,
and more importantly...
assure you that you would never be alone.
I wanna understand why you think the way you do.
You don't wanna get inside my head.
It's a scary place.
I want you to read Andy's mind.
I think I like her.
You make fun of me, you put me down,
and you always have to have the last word.
I thought that was... our thing.
We have a thing?
I got a letter from this conservatory in New York.
And I kinda got in.
Admit it, now you're having doubts.
I do have doubts.
There's something I really need
- to tell you about your-- - No!
I have doubts about everything in my life...
except how I feel about you.
So Madacorp sent some wicked-hot
mentally scrambled science experiment to invade your life.
Why?
I don't know.
It's like they've been watching.
Get her into their family's life.
- Emily? - Destabilizing the boy's support structure
will make him more vulnerable.
Her nutcase sister is the one who attacked me.
There must be a logical explanation for this.
Whatever she did to Lori,
I don't think Jessi's gonna flip out on Kyle.
I think I just read your mind.
My sister...
she shot me.
There's something I think you should know.
- What do you want? - I wanna know who I really am.
Kyle, they said you cou--
Please, just believe in me.
That's what Charlie always said.
I can't stress it strongly enough, Captain.
Jessi should be treated as a psychiatric case...
not a criminal one.
Thank you.
I'm worried about Lori.
She's angry at--
Are you okay?
[sighs]
Times like this, when the professional line
blurs with the personal, it's...
Difficult.
The hardest part is the guilt.
Guilt?
I'm the one who brought Jessi into this house.
No.
You tried to help her.
Tried.
[panting]
What's the matter?
[panting]
My head is...
I'm fine.
You need to get some rest.
You're exhausted.
We all are.
Why?
I'm too riled up to sleep.
Therefore I don't get to sleep either?
I spent all night scheming revenge against Jessi.
And what did you come up with?
Nothing good.
I need a diabolical mind in my corner.
And I'm said diabolical mind?
Exactly.
Good morning, guys.
Dad, do me a solid.
Go downstairs and throw some black into that pot.
Not quite sure what that meant, but we'll go with no.
How you doing, Lori?
What do you think?
I'm gonna go.
Now, I know you've been through a lot lately,
but your tone needs adjusting.
Oh, so we're going with stern, responsible dad now? That's rich.
I have dealt with your attitude because I know you're angry.
I know you're confused and you need to lash out against someone.
But don't you dare treat me like I'm some peer
you can cut down with some snide little comments.
I am your father. This stops now.
What are you doing?
Same thing as you.
Which is?
Pacing.
Continuous back-and-forth walking in an effort
to clear one's mind for mental breakthrough.
I got that part.
Why are you pacing?
Why are you?
There's some seriously toxic mojo going down in this house,
and I'm looking for a solution.
Me, too.
Well, good.
'Cause I could use some super brain enhancement
to help Lori figure out how to get revenge on Jessi.
Jessi?
Yeah. You know?
Brown hair, green eyes,
5 foot-- 11 personalities.
I don't think you should get involved in that.
Not get involved?
Are you crazy?
She deserves whatever we dish out.
Josh, there's a lot about her that you don't know.
Dude, are you defending her?
- No, I-- - Whatever, man.
I thought Lori could rely on her brothers to have her back.
[scoffs]
Josh.
[gasps]
[groans]
[Kyle narrating] My life was spinning out of control.
The fallout of my secrets had brought trouble
into the lives of the people I loved.
And I was powerless to stop it.
Hils, I'm talking hostile takeover of Jessi's reputation.
Declan, things are falling apart
and I need help figuring out what to do.
I'm coming over.
Fire up that G-Force. I need your mind working at it's best.
Hold on. Where's everyone going?
- I gotta go see Hillary. - I gotta go see Andy.
And I'm meeting Declan.
I don't think anyone should leave.
Jessi's still unaccounted for,
and we don't know what her state of mind is.
Sure we do. Six ticks past psychotic.
- Lori. - Too much?
So...what,
you're putting us on lockdown?
Until further notice...
yes.
- He survived. - Barely.
His brain function is still intact.
No residual damage.
I'd say the chair's retrieval system performed better than expected,
and I expected a lot.
You can't put Kyle in that chair.
Actually, I can.
At best you'll get 10 percent of his data
before you fry his brain.
- [door opens] - I'd settle for one percent.
- [door closes] - You called?
Where's the girl, Hollander?
In the field.
In other words, your mission remains incomplete.
I'll give the girl one more day.
But if I don't get what I want,
I'm strapping the boy into the chair.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Okay...
I've called in the Andy reinforcements.
Two diabolical minds at your disposal.
- Forget it. - Forget it?
Has your thirst for revenge been quenched already?
Never.
But I don't need to drag you down with me.
I'm supposed to be your bad-ass brother,
ready to serve a beat down on command.
Go have fun with Andy.
You guys have better things to do than get...
caught up in all my drama.
Okay, but we'll just be a room away from turning
our G-Force skills into real-life mortal pain.
Yeah, that's sort of exactly why
I'm keeping you out of it.
Probably for the best.
[doorbell dings]
Hillary.
Operation Vengeance in effect.
- I brought cookies. - Thank God.
- Amanda. - Is Kyle home?
I'm sorry I compared you to Charlie.
You don't need to be sorry for anything.
I'm the one who should apologize.
- It's just what I saw-- - Was confusing.
I know.
But I promise nothing physical was going on.
I wouldn't lie to you.
I know you wouldn't.
And I do believe in you, even if it doesn't seem like I should.
Thank you.
Maybe if you told me why you were so drawn to her.
She's lost.
Troubled.
And you wanna help her?
This is what I get for dating a do-gooder.
You're still mad.
This isn't what I came over here to talk about.
What did you come over here to talk about?
I'm leaving.
- You just got here. - No, I mean I'm leaving town.
Leaving town?
For how long?
For the rest of the semester.
I got accepted to a music program in New York.
I leave in two days.
Two days?
Kyle, usually the whole multiple-question thing is cute,
but I'm really struggling here.
Why are you strug--
You're struggling because you're not sure if you wanna go.
It's a dream come true, but--
You're afraid you're using it
as an excuse to run away...
because you have doubts about us.
What do you think I should do?
I think it's your decision to make.
I'm just so confused.
I need to clear my head.
Don't bother with pacing. It hasn't been working for me.
I'm gonna go play for awhile.
See if I can figure it out.
Amanda...
Whatever you decide...
I'll be here for you.
Promise?
Promise.
Then I know it'll happen.
[cell phone ringing]
- Hello? - Kyle...
Emily.
Yes.
What do you want?
Jessi needs your help.
She knows the truth about who she really is,
and she's run away.
She's in danger, isn't she?
Yes.
You're the only one who can bring her home safely.
I can tell when people are lying.
I'm not lying.
Or telling the whole truth.
You want the truth?
If you don't find Jessi, they'll hurt my family.
Who are they?
You're in danger too, Kyle.
You and everyone who matters to you.
I'm gonna ruin her reputation.
You do it right,
she'll be wearing a Sacred Heart skirt by Friday.
How you doing, Lori?
I vow to kill the next person that asks me that.
What are you doing here?
I came to talk to Kyle.
Oh, good. Maybe you can talk some sense into him.
His whole "believe the best in people" philosophy
has gotten way too close to Jessi
"spawn of the devil" Hollander.
Clearly you're not willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, you didn't.
I just meant that it's complicated.
Oh, my God.
This thing's messy enough already
without you two going haywire.
- She beat me up! - I know that!
Then you understand that she deserves whatever she gets.
[muffled arguing]
What is happening up there?
Lori's outta control.
She's just upset.
She's more than upset.
She's acting like a 12-year-old.
What's going on between you two?
She thinks I'm having an affair with Emily.
Oh.
I think I was hoping for a little more outrage.
It's not an outrageous assumption.
- It damn well is. - Stephen--
I can't believe you would even think for one minute--
No, I don't think that. I just meant that Lori--
You're the psychologist.
Isn't the first reaction usually the most telling?
- Let me finish, Stephen? - Please.
I just meant that Lori has picked up
on the dynamic you have with Emily.
She's my co-worker. I enjoy working with her.
It's a little more than that, Stephen.
Even I noticed it.
[Declan] Real mature, Trager.
- Stephen, I'm trying to make a point. - Which is?
[Josh] Turn that down!
[all arguing]
[Kyle narrating] There was no way I could help.
Nothing I could do.
More than anything, I wanted it to end.
...a total disconnect between you and me.
And then suddenly it did.
Adam?
Is that really you?
No.
It's really you.
I don't understand.
You don't need to understand what I am.
Only that I can help you.
[doorbell dings]
Thank God you're here.
You do realize that I went out of my way to pimp out
my mom's media room for our G-Force marathon.
I'm hoping this will make up for it.
Check it out.
What do you think?
It's perfect.
Cover fire on the left flank!
Especially for our last day together.
Hey, Kyle, I made it.
Okay.
Guess I'll talk to you later.
[door closes]
Kyle...
you're upset because you think all the anger
that's dividing this house is because of you.
Madacorp obviously sent Jessi and Emily into our lives to mess with me.
I just can't figure out why.
Well... what do they want?
It has to be the information I took from Zzyzx that's inside my head.
How far will they go to get it?
- I don't know. - Yes, you do.
- Just tell me. - I can't.
You need to slow down, Kyle...
and think.
I was able to get inside Jessi's head,
read her thoughts.
Madacorp must believe that she can get into mine.
But she hasn't.
Not yet.
Why?
I had to get her to trust me,
let her guard down before I was able to dig deep enough.
So then she's trying to get you to trust her.
But all she and Emily have done is cause chaos.
And how does that chaos make you feel?
Upset.
Uncertain.
Vulnerable?
It makes me feel like everything that's important to me is gonna disappear.
When you're vulnerable, you let your guard down.
Jessi.
No...
but it could have been.
I'm losing my mind.
Actually, you're just beginning to find it.
Madacorp manipulated everything.
And my whole family has suffered for it.
So what does that say about Jessi?
She can't be trusted.
She's bad like everyone said.
When Kyle wakes up, will you tell him I was here?
Right, because I'm so in the mood to be your messenger service.
Trager...
McDonough...
For the love of Peter Petrelli, will you two cut it out?
I have been a guest at your pity party of two for months.
Wah wah, bicker bicker, boring boring.
Now, for the sake of my sanity,
and your future children,
we're putting an end to this right now.
You two need a mediation.
I'm gonna go fetch our own resident Dr. Phil.
Ah! I don't wanna hear it from Kyle right now.
And he's asleep.
All righty, then.
You'll have to temporarily settle for second best.
Dr. Hils at your service.
Hils, I really don't think--
Sit!
[laughs]
Okay, I've had enough.
Hey, I was about to beat you.
I'd say you already did.
Uh, no. See, your player's still alive.
I'm talking about that little bomb you dropped earlier.
I think that was your bomb.
And if you want some advice,
I'd lay off the junk food, let your stomach settle.
Andy, quit messing around!
I'm in trouble, huh?
How could you say this is gonna be our last day together?
What, are you, like, dying tomorrow?
How many cancer patients do you know that die overnight?
You're doing it again.
All right, fine.
It's our last day together because I start chemo tomorrow.
What does chemo have to do with--
It has to do with me puking,
you sympathizing, me withdrawing,
you resenting me, me resenting your resentment,
blah blah blah.
Trust me, it's messy.
That's why I think it should be our last day together.
So why don't we make it special, okay?
And to kick things off,
I think we should go upstairs and make out.
Pacing's not working for you.
How do you know that?
You said it.
But not to you.
That's right. You said you were me,
which means I'm talking to myself.
Your self-doubt was paralyzing you.
You needed someone to talk to.
Someone I trusted more than my own instincts.
Someone like you.
Kinda cool, isn't it?
Okay, then.
I need help deciding if I should go after Jessi.
You just realized she's Madacorp's secret weapon.
Wouldn't you be playing right into their plan?
But I can't believe that she's a willing weapon.
Which means she's out there lost and alone.
Why are you worried about her after everything she's done?
Because if I don't believe in her,
no one will.
Maybe no one should.
[Man] What are you doing?
Now, you gotta be nice.
You wanna play? Let's play.
No. No. Please.
No, let him go!
Why aren't you letting him go?
[gagging]
Don't! Don't kill him!
Aah!
[crying]
Oh, God!
- I have to go to work. - What?
I rushed out last night when I got the call about Kyle.
I didn't get a chance to shut down all my systems.
Well, I don't think it sends a very good message to the kids
about the lockdown if you leave right now.
I am not in the mood to be lectured about what's appropriate.
- I'm not. - No, let me finish.
I never betrayed the vows I made to you when we got married.
I never cheated, I never lied,
and I never kept any secrets.
But I guess you'll either believe that or you won't.
[door opens and closes]
So why do I get the happy family and the great life?
You mean why does she get the short end of the stick?
It's just a...
Expression.
I know. You're me, remember?
Maybe she was born bad.
The same way that you were born good.
But was I?
Or would being taken in by a loving family make me good?
She didn't have that.
There's no one that cares enough about her to help her.
You're a do-gooder like Amanda said.
Help her.
I can't leave this house.
So don't help her.
Stop confusing me.
You just need to trust yourself.
That's what this is all about.
Even if I wanted to help her,
I have no idea where she is.
You should ask her.
Help me.
You're not really here.
That's true.
Hmm.
You look so happy.
If I had what you have,
I wouldn't come after me either.
You made a promise to be here for her.
I know.
Would you break it just to help me?
I'd help you so that we could take down Madacorp and save my family.
Do you think that's possible?
It has to be.
I can't live like this anymore.
Then you should come find me.
But where are you?
That's for you to figure out.
You already said that you and I were the same.
In a way, yes.
So...
have you ever run away?
Once.
Where did you go?
Back to the beginning.
Then you know where to look.
The question is...
will you?
Are you okay?
Stay away from me.
I'm bad.
Are you lost? Do you need some help?
I don't deserve help.
Sweetie, what happened to you?
I said stay away from me!
[dog barks]
[door unlocks]
Stephen.
What are you doing here?
Hey.
I'm sorry about earlier.
You know the situation's obviously sensitive.
It's okay. We're all under a lot of pressure.
Well, you being here is a good sign.
I take it Jessi made it home.
Yes.
We had a long talk.
She's got a lot to work out,
and I'm gonna get her some more help.
Oh, good.
The police are still gonna want to talk to her.
Of course.
So what brings you up to the fifth floor?
Well, I was shutting down my system from the trial run yesterday,
and I noticed that the diagnostic results have all been erased.
That doesn't sound right.
The entire server's on lockdown.
I don't have any access to it.
I'm worried that it's viral,
so I'm gonna check out the mainframe.
Oh, uh, you can't go in there right now.
Ballantine's giving a tour to a potential investor.
On Sunday?
Yeah, the human trial was so successful
that he wanted to show it off.
But that's just the thing.
We don't know if the trial was successful
because we don't have any access to the system.
Stephen, go home.
Worry about it tomorrow.
What's going on in there?
Nothing, just a business show-and-tell.
I'll see you tomorrow?
Sure.
You're acting weird.
I'm on top of you making out. What's weird about it?
You're being hesitant.
Guys aren't supposed to do hesitant.
I'm not being hesitant.
Totally hesitant.
Stop using that word.
I'm sorry, but it's true.
Any other guy would have his hand halfway to the promised land by now.
I'm trying to be respectful.
No, respect is the slow, steady inching,
waiting for me to swat your hand away.
Respect is at least trying to go there.
Unless...
Unless what?
Unless you've never gone there before.
[scoffs]
You've never touched a boob.
I've touched a boob.
A real one or one of those inflatable--
I've touched a boob, okay?
Just never--
Never what?
Never one that mattered.
My boobs matter?
Well, of course they matter.
Why else would I put up with this humiliation?
Then let me help you out.
There you go.
They're all ready for ya.
Go where only a few men have gone before.
You're not helping.
I'm serious. I want you to.
Besides, this is your only chance, remember?
See?
That's the problem.
You're ruining it.
You said this would be our last day together.
Which means that'll be the last time I can touch them...boobs.
And that's not cool!
Because I wanna touch them tomorrow
and the next day and all the days after that.
So quit acting like today's is it for us,
'cause I don't want it to be.
It has to be.
Well, you're gonna have to find someone else to feel you up...
'cause I'm not having it.
[door opens and closes]
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Hils, I've spent a year
trying to get Declan to communicate.
I seriously doubt--
You say that like this is all my fault.
I don't know, Mr. Secretive and Moody.
What do you think?
You haven't exactly made it easy lately.
Oh, good. So it's my fault that you dumped me for no reason
and then took up with La Femme Nikita.
This is good. We're speaking from the heart.
Declan, I need to talk to you for a minute.
- Gladly! - Oh, no! No way!
We were just making progress.
We're not making progress here, Hillary.
We're wasting each other's time.
So you think trying to get to the bottom of our problems
is a waste of time?
Oh, come on, Lori!
You think this is just as stupid as I do!
I just need a minute.
Kyle, what you need is to accept your part
of the responsibility for the tragic demise of Beachwood's best couple.
Oh, for cryin' out loud!
Seriously! I'm all in favor for a good romance.
But the intensity of the Kyle-Declan friendship--
we'll call it Kyclan--
clearly interfered between the relationship of Lori and Declan.
Kyle, what do you have to say for yourself?
I'm sorry.
I'm not doing this.
Lori, if you wanna talk to me,
really talk, minus the circus,
then I'm here.
Until then, leave me out of it.
She's right. You, Lori,
everything that's happened to this family
is all because of me.
I need to put a stop to it.
How can I help?
You can loan me your car.
I thought you couldn't leave the house.
You're going after her.
Kyle, the thing I admire most about you is your faith in people.
But I worry this time...
it's gonna be the end of you.
Does this mean you won't give me the keys?
Thank you.
Good luck.
You're gonna need it.
[sighs]
Hello.
I don't know how you do it.
Do what?
Help people.
I gave it my all... with Angst and Angstier.
I learned from Phil and Oprah,
yet everything comes up Springer.
I'm a fraud. A Faux-prah.
Well, helping people get in touch
with what they're really feeling
is a complicated process.
I just hate all the drama.
Lori's my best friend. I just wanna help her.
All we can ever really do is encourage people
to talk openly about their problems.
They may not like it, but...
it's imperative to put issues out on the table.
That's what I've been saying.
I mean, really, is honesty that freaking difficult?
It shouldn't be, should it?
And people think I'm the dumb blonde.
I have to say, Hillary,
I don't think there's anything dumb about you.
[door closes]
[footsteps]
[beep]
What happened to you?
The old Tom,
he would have fought it out till the bitter end.
Big, strong, stoic Tom Foss.
Survived a war, brought down Zzyzx,
then a little trip down memory lane did him in.
All I want,
all Baylin wanted,
was to see Kyle reach his potential.
But now Ballantine's gonna put him in the chair and go for broke.
It's gonna make what happened to you
look like a day at the spa.
You let them beat you, Tom.
You let them break you.
And now they're gonna break Kyle.
Uhh!
You are the traitor! I'll never help you!
You'll never break me.
Aah!
Kyle.
- What are you doing? - Nicole, I--
I came in here to ask your permission
to tell Stephen about the secret
we've been keeping from the family
only to find you sneaking out of the house?
I'm going to find Jessi.
I wanted to tell you, but--
But you knew I wouldn't let you go.
This is important.
More important than our trust in you?
I'm doing this for all of you.
I can fix this. I can fix everything that's broken.
Why Jessi?
Why you? How are you two connected?
You already know the answer to that question.
She and I are the same.
What is that supposed to mean?
I don't even know who you are.
You told me once that I never brought anything by love into this house.
But all I ever brought was pain.
I need to make this right.
Please.
I have to go.
[playing Pachelbel's Canon]
[Kyle narrating] I had promised her I'd always be here,
just like I promised myself I'd never put my family at risk.
I had broken both those promises.
[door closes] [stops playing]
I'm not hungry.
Consider it a peace offering.
Considering I made them for you in the first place,
your gesturing's a little hollow.
Don't be so cranky.
Right.
[beep]
What are you pausing it for?
Go ahead. Put the final nail in the coffin of this miserable day.
There's no rush. I can beat you tomorrow and the next day
and all the days after that.

Which just leaves us.
Lucky us.
Listen, Lori, I don't wanna be that guy,
the guy who's all locked up.
You were the one I could always open up to.
But you never did.
I did.
Sort of.
As much as I could.
Says the guy with more baggage than an airport carousel.
I suppose I could limit myself to carry-on
if it meant that we could be friends again.

Why did you come after me?
You needed me to.
I'll betray you.
That's what they want me to do.
You don't have to do what they want you to.
You can make your own choices.
That's what Nicole said.
Nicole's smart.

[sighs]
I don't know where to begin.
Well, why don't we begin with me
because there's something I need to tell you.
I accused you of keeping secrets.
What I have to say goes far beyond that.
But I've been keeping secrets, too.
- But I discovered something huge about... - Secrets about...
- Kyle. - Kyle.
