[Kyle] Previously on Kyle XY:
Join us at Latnok. Participate.
- You haven't told me for what. - Inspire them.
Be inspired. Shape the future.
With you on board there are no limits.
We have to get away from all this, Jessi, we have to start our new life!
- My mother, she left. She left me. - I'm sorry.
Should I ignore that you're conspiring with Jessi to get me in here?
We've liked the idea of her here for a while,
but so far she hasn't proved to be a very trustworthy girl.
The Latnok organization, the one Kyle's working with,
I'm a part of it.
You're what?
- You're not sick again? - It's not the cancer.
- It's worse. - What could be worse than that?
Cleveland. We move at the end of the month.
But I can't be with you when I know I'm losing you to someone else.
- You could never lose me. - I already have.
I was gonna tell Amanda everything.
You'll be adding her to people you've already compromised.
Whoa. Doogie Howser's got a girlfriend?
- Not anymore. - Amanda's a nice girl, Nate.
In other words, off-limits to you.
- I'm Nate, by the way. - Amanda.
- [Jessi] Amanda came by. - [Kyle] She did? When?
- The other day. - Why didn't you tell me about Amanda?
Because I don't want you to be with her.
I want you to be with me.
[rock music plays]
- Jessi told you she's into you? - I was surprised, too.
Surprised, why?
She's had her eye on you since the moment she got her head straight.
♪ No one ever knows ♪
What did you say?
He said he doesn't see me that way.
OK, we're talking about the same Cassidy who was all over you?
- Cassidy, yeah. - That's so weird.
I could've sword I saw him throwing you the "sex me" vibe.
He said he just wants to be my friend.
You actually said you just want to be friends?
Yes. What?
That's the one sentence no girl ever wants to hear.
Trust me. I've busted it out once or twice.
- But it's the truth. - It's basically a nicer way of saying,
- "I reject you completely." - I didn't know that.
Lucky for you, Jessi probably didn't, either.
- What did she say? - You ran away?
- I haven't talked to him since. - But you still like him?
OK. All is not lost. We can fix this.
- Really? - Oh, yeah.
First step, stabilize the situation.
- Stabilize. - Well, Cassidy's gonna be a little freaked out,
so you have to un-freak him.
- How do I do that? - Take it all back.
How do I take it back?
Just tell him you were drunk or feverish
or caught the Ebola virus or something.
That doesn't seem like a very good plan.
Just tell him you had a temporary moment of craziness,
but it's past and you are 100 percent over it.
- Done. Complete. - And you think that will work?
Trust me. I have years of high school under my belt.
You know, it's possible to have feelings for two girls at the same time.
But I don't think I have feelings for Jessi.
You don't think or you don't?
I guess I've never thought about it before.
Right. I mean, how could it have possibly occurred to you
that you and Jessi could be compatible?
I mean, tons of people can communicate telepathically,
leap off buildings, and move water with their minds.
I love Amanda. I always have.
- Then get back together with her. - I can't. Not yet, anyway.
- Why not? - I can't try to win Amanda back
until I'm completely sure that Latnok can be trusted.
Well, you better get moving on that.
- Hi. - How are you doing?
Good.
Well, man, one thing's for sure. You've got your hands full.
- I take it back. - Take what back?
What I said.
I had a temporary moment of craziness,
but it's passed and I'm 100 percent over it.
Done. Complete.
- Or it may have been Ebola. - Ebola?
Never mind. No.
- Jessi, I... - No, we don't need to talk about it.
You're my friend. Everything else...
I was just confused.
I wanted to be closer to you, and I got confused.
So if you're freaking, it's OK to un-freak.
I'm... not... freaking.
Good. Me neither.
Wait. Are you going to Latnok?
- Yes. - Take me with you.
- Jessi... - It's not dangerous.
We still don't know for sure.
Nicole's fine with you going there now.
You said they're just a group of smart kids that like science.
I want to be a part of that. Please.
I need to feel like I'm a part of something.
I'll talk to Cassidy.
I'm well aware of Jessi's gifts,
but I also know that she's volatile and unpredictable.
She's trying to change.
She is who she is.
And I can't risk disrupting the harmony
of a very select group of students.
So you consider Nate to be a harmonious person?
I'm not saying he's not a challenge.
- But Jessi... - What?
Her mother's no friend of Latnok.
What do you know about Sarah?
I know she's an extraordinary person.
But I also know that she's headstrong and contentious.
- And doesn't share our vision. - Well, Jessi's not her mother.
She wants to be here, to participate.
I'll vouch for her.
In that case, how can I say no?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm totally wiped, but playing tourist was exactly what I needed.
Just a reminder of what Seattle has to offer.
I'm really gonna miss it.
I wouldn't worry. I'm sure Cleveland has a Space Needle.
- Josh. - And a Pike's Market.
Are you really gonna do this?
What? Is it my fault Cleveland is so lame?
Why are you ruining such a great day?
Why are you ruining such a great relationship?
Like I have a choice! You know this is hard for me, too.
I really don't need you piling on the guilt,
- making me feel even worse. - Oh. Sure. Yeah.
Bail on me, like you're bailing on Seattle.
Idiot!
This is quite an occasion. You're just in time to receive your assignments.
Since when do we get assignments?
Since we have a very important project underway,
the preparations for which are strictly confidential.
It's a party.
- A party? - That's right.
We throw one every year for members from other schools.
Jack-a-licious, you are in charge of the guest list.
Mr. Deejay, music.
Anger Management, libations.
And our two newest members, you, are in charge of the "wow."
- The wow? - The wow.
The idea behind the party, the theme.
I want it to combine social interaction with science.
You'll work on it together. With your two minds,
I'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous.
[rock music plays]
A party? You're supposed to be
getting the dirt on these people,
and you're throwing a party with them?
Maybe there's no dirt to get.
And, if there's not, then I can finally tell Amanda how I feel.
- Which is what I want, more than anything. - Hi.
- How are you doing? - I'm excellent. How are you?
Dude, there's not much you can do now.
Well, I can't just stand here. Amanda.
- Hi. - Can I get a cup of coffee?
- Kyle, you don't drink coffee. - I know. It's just for, um...
Hey, it looks like you two need to talk.
Do you want to talk about something?
- Not right now. - Oh.
Well, then, what were you saying?
- I was asking. - Right. And my answer is yes.
- Yes? Yes to what? - Kyle, it's none of your business.
Amanda just accepted my invitation to our party this weekend.
"Our" party? What do you have to do with it?
I'm working with a group of students at the U-Dub Science Department.
- So you two know each other? - Is that a problem?
- [Amanda] No. - [Kyle] Yes.
It doesn't work this way. You can't interfere.
Except the party he's talking about, it's a party for single people.
- What? - You can't bring a date. That's the rule.
- Since when? - That's OK.
I'm single, you're single. Maybe we'll run into each other.
I'll make sure of it.
Meeting you was a coincidence.
Had nothing to do with getting Kyle to join Latnok.
It still seems like creepy, undercover, double agent crap.
Yeah, I admit we're secretive about our membership,
but I want you, Lori, for you.
I don't know. Something tells me you got off running around like some nerdy James Bond.
Well, um...
I guess if anything I kind of saw myself as a...
...as a somewhat less nerdy Moby.
You wish!
How could Amanda want to go out with such a... such a jerk?
Kyle, language, please.
- What? - Jealous Kyle.
It's a whole new side of you. I like it.
I'm not jealous. I'm...
OK, I am, but it's more than that. Nate's not a good person.
- Well, if he's such a dirtbag... - Hot dirtbag.
...let her go out with him. Amanda will wise up.
Yeah, 'cause it's not like she has a history of dating hot dirtbags.
Exhibit A, Charlie Tanner. I swear, I'm trying to help.
- Well, stop. - No, Lori's right. Amanda always sees the best in people,
and I don't want Nate to take advantage of her.
I have to work on ideas for this party.
- He's screwed. - Totally.
Hey, we can throw an ice party.
We can have everyone dress in white like at Diddy's parties.
- Diddy? - I've been reading Lori's magazines.
Jessi, I'm sorry. I know you want to impress everyone,
but my head's just not in it.
Because of Amanda?
He's not right for her! Why can't she see that?
- Stabilize. - What?
Tell me how Amanda makes you feel.
Jessi, I can't do that.
- Why? - I shouldn't talk to you about things like that.
Why not? We're friends.
I was just confused, remember?
Are you sure that's what it was?
Yes.
You have Amanda,
so you understand the difference between friendship and love.
I just don't understand it yet.
Help me.
OK.
Well...
The first time I saw her, my heart started pounding.
I felt shaky and lightheaded.
My palms got sweaty.
Well, that sounds like a chemical reaction.
When body chemistry matches, the pheromones are naturally drawn to each other.
Makes sense. I didn't feel that with you.
- You didn't? - I don't think so.
No, definitely not.
Do you think Amanda felt that with Nate?
I don't know. I can't just ask her.
Well, it would help if you knew they had true chemistry.
You should test their physiological compatibility.
If they have no chemistry, you have nothing to worry about.
- The party. - What about it?
We could call it a chemistry party.
Where people can get matched based on their physiological compatibility.
- Is this our wow? - It's our wow.
It's exactly what I need to prove to Amanda
that she and Nate aren't meant to be together.
[soft rock music plays]
- What's this? - A mood ring.
Put it on, it tells you if you're in a good mood or a bad one.
You don't need a ring to tell you that.
It's so other people can see.
- How does it work? - Reads your body temperature.
If you're in a good mood,
your temperature's up, causing a bright color.
If you're in a bad one your temperature's down, and the color's dark.
So how would this prove if two people are compatible?
We can design something to read a person's pheromone levels,
and produce a color based on its results.
If two people have the same color, they're a good match.
If they're not the same color, they're not a good match.
- DNA dating? Cool. - But I need to test it first.
I need to confirm that Amanda and Nate are two different colors.
How can I help?
I need DNA samples from both of them.
I can distract Nate while you grab something from his desk.
- That's perfect. - Wait. What about Amanda?
I've already got someone taking care of it.
Ow! What the hell are you doing?
What am I doing? What are you doing?
- I'm preventing someone from finding hair in their smoothie. - What?
- My hair has never ended up in a smoothie. - Not yet.
But the moment it does,
we kiss our A rating goodbye. You want that?
- No, but... - But nothing.
Keep it in check, Bloom.
Don't make me institute a hair net policy.
Josh! Hey. It's so great to finally meet you.
I mean, I know we said we'd meet at the party tomorrow,
but I just couldn't wait. Can you believe it?
Finally standing in front of each other.
Are you freaking out? I'm totally freaking out.
Yeah, freaking out.
Who are you?
It's me. Kbug223. From Coolzone?
- Coolzone? - Yeah. Hello.
We've spent the past week chatting about everything
from G-Force to Cabbage Patch dolls.
Whoa. Keep it down.
What? I think it's adorable you had one.
- How do you know all this stuff about me? - You told me, silly.
Look, I gotta go, but I'll see you tomorrow, OK?

Looking for me?
I just wanted to thank you for letting Jessi be part of this.
Well, she seems to be getting along with everyone so far.
Your plans for the party going well?
I think we came up with something interesting.
Good. I'm looking forward to it.
- Is there anything else? - That's it.
- So, I think I've properly stabilized. - Excellent.
- Step one is complete. - Except...
I think he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend.
Exactly why there's a step two.
Neutralize.
- Ditch the other chick. - Ditch her?
Remove the competition.
Eliminate her.
- I didn't mean that literally. - I know.
Seriously, don't go sneak up behind her in a dark alley.
Knocking her unconscious is not an option.
That was one time only.
- Lucky me. - So...
What's the best way for me to neutralize her?
I don't know.
You're the super smart one. You'll figure it out.
Royal Grace Investments. Whatever you can find.
Thanks, Declan.
- Hey. - Hi.
- How's it going? - I think I figured it out.
This crystal will change color
based on a person's pheromone output.
We can make necklaces out of those.
For people to wear, so everyone can see their color.
That's perfect.
Let's try it out. This is Nate's DNA.
I'll put a drop on the crystal, which should produce a color.
- Hmm. It's green. - And now Amanda's.
Hopefully it's a different color.
It's red.
They're not a match.
Now Amanda will think twice about being with Nate.
Great.
So what's next?
Everyone else at Latnok seems genuine.
But I'm still not convinced about Cassidy.
He's hiding something in his office.
- Like what? - I don't know.
But once I check it out, if it's nothing,
maybe I can get my life back.
And hopefully Amanda.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Can I get by? - Sorry.
Do you want to ride together to the party?
I need to get the necklaces ready.
You should just go with Josh and Lori.
Josh and Lori aren't coming.
Yes, they are. I invited them.
No way Nicole would let them go to a party sponsored by Latnok.
She and Stephen are gone until later tonight.
Jessi, you have to uninvite them.
I'm not uninviting them.
They've just started to tolerate me.
I don't want to be Downer-Doug-Party-Police.
- What's that? - That's what they call you.
- They do? - Yes.
Oh.
But feel free to uninvite them yourself.
If you want to.
Never mind.
[screaming from video game]
- Drop the controller. - I thought we were playing G-Force today.
Not until you tell me who that stalker was at The Rack.
She seemed very cool.
- [scoffs] Are you insane? - Practical.
I want to make sure you have someone after I move.
Just because you're moving to Cleveland, doesn't mean we have to be over.
What's your favorite part of our relationship?
I don't know.
I mean, just being around you, I guess.
Well, your favorite part of our relationship will no longer be able to happen.
Then I'll find a new favorite.
Josh, I'm moving.
Whether you accept it or not, it's happening.
You have to let me go.
You know, I thought you'd be the one fighting to keep us together. Guess I was wrong.
You're not looking at this the right way.
I am now.
- Where are you going? - To call Katie
and ask her what time I should pick her up tonight.
Royal Grace Investments own the building where Cassidy and Jessi have an apartment.
Check this out.
It's the lease to Cassidy's place.
How'd you get this?
Called pretending to be from my dad's law firm.
- Check the date it was signed. - Cassidy moved in the same day Sarah took off.
You don't think it's coincidence?
Is anything in your life ever just a coincidence?
Ooh, someone's excited. Does that mean what I think it means?
- Step two complete. - That was fast.
- I promise I didn't hit anyone. - Glad to hear it.
So, I've stabilized. I've neutralized.
- Now I can get him. - Not quite.
- What's wrong? Do I not look OK? - No, you look great.
Just not hot. It's time for step three.
- There's a step three? - You need to "sexify."
- Well, I definitely don't know how to do that. - Follow me.

I think Nate did something to the necklaces. I have to tell Amanda.
- Don't forget why you're here. - I haven't.
I have to tell her what kind of person he is.
No, what you need to do is get into Cassidy's office.
Looking for Kyle?
Was I that obvious?
Uh-huh.
Whatever happened between you, he was crazy to let you go.
He didn't.
I caught him kissing someone else.
I'm sorry.
You deserve someone who appreciates you.
It's hard to see them together.
I know it is, but you can't waste this opportunity.
You have a chance to end this,
and know once and for all where Cassidy stands.
He's over there. Keep an eye on him.
And I'll keep the other one on Amanda.
[soft rock music plays]
Jessi, you look beautiful.
Thank you.
Ours don't work.
I guess our body chemistry reacts differently in some way.
I think Nate may have done something to affect the results.
How?
We'll figure it out later. I have to go.
- Unbelievable. - What?
- She's not into Cassidy at all. - Who, Jessi?
No. She's totally into Kyle.
- Everyone can see that. - Well, apparently, not everyone.
- Hey! - I know.
I'm an embarrassing shade of lavender.
We are not gonna let our lives be dictated by these little crystals.
No, we are not.

Hmm... Well, can I be honest with you?
Mm-hmm. Please.
I'm about 80 percent good guy.
Those are pretty good odds.

- Yeah. - Jeez.
I avoided computers for two weeks after that.
But you know, I'm glad I didn't hang up my keyboard forever,
'cause, you know, if I had, I would have never met you.

He's only using you to get back at me.
Oh, man, your ego is showing.
He's jealous we have a connection.
No, you don't. Not like we do.
Our party favors that you made say that we do.
You tampered with them! You did something to
Amanda's necklace to make her think you're compatible.
- The hell, I did. - He did it, Amanda.
- How do you know that? - I tested them.
Your necklace should be red, not green.
You don't have chemistry. Your colors shouldn't match.
And ours should? Is that your point?
Chemistry is not about some stupid color on a necklace.
It's about what you feel in your heart!
You used to know that better than anyone.
I guess you're not as smart as I thought you were.
- Amanda. - I have to go!
You really know how to spoil a good time.
[Kyle] Amanda was right. The laws of science don't apply to matters of the heart.
But jealousy had clouded my thinking.
True chemistry can't be forced or manipulated.
And a genuine relationship can only be built or restored
with honesty and mutual respect.
I failed Amanda.
I'd failed us.
[rock music plays]
- You are an incredible liar. - Excuse me?
Oh, please. Don't play all Martha Stewart pre-jail with me.
It was never about Cassidy. It was always Kyle!
I didn't know what to do.
Until messing with Amanda's necklace came to mind.
You told me to neutralize.
- Ditch the other chick. - That was before I knew the other chick was Amanda.
Your advice would have been different if you knew she was the other girl?
Of course. She's my friend.
- Look, Jessi... - I'm sorry.
I can't change how I feel about Kyle.
Maybe not, but if you want any hope of him caring about you,
you'd better be somebody worth caring about.
Kyle deserves someone a hell of a lot better
than someone who would pull this crap behind his back.
You know, I'm having a really great time tonight.
Me too.
I'm sorry.
As much as I want to, I can't.
But...
I don't understand. I thought everything was going great.
It is.
I mean, you're a perfect match for me.
But I already have one.
- You all right, mate? - I'm fine.
I wanted to talk to you about something, about the jewelry.
- The jewelry? - The reimbursement for the necklaces.
This should take care of it.
- Thanks. - It's a raging success.
I guess you and Jessi are an unbeatable combination.
Congratulations.
So what did you find?
Sarah's ring was in his safe.
Which makes me wonder what he had to do to get it.
- You sure it was Sarah's ring? - Adam gave it to her.
It has a red stone, and it's one of a kind.
You were right not to trust him.
You know, I really didn't want to find anything.
I was really hoping that...
I can't get my life back.
I can't be with Amanda.
Wow. Guess our non-date ended that badly, huh?
You'd rather work the night shift than be with me?
I was just helping myself to a cup.
Do you want one?
- It's on the house. - No, thanks.
- Can I ask you something? - Yeah, sure.
Was Kyle right?
Did you only ask me out to get back at him?
Absolute truth?
At first, yes.
The thing is, once we were there, I had a really great time.
Me, too.
- Good night, Amanda. - Good night.
- Jessi. - Nate.
Please, Jessi, leave me alone.
I'm sorry about tonight.
For once you weren't the one responsible.
Yes, I am.
I messed with your necklace.
I wanted you to get together with Nate.
Why?
Because if you were with him, then I could...
You could be with Kyle.
But it doesn't matter what I do.
Even if you were with Nate, Kyle would still want to be with you.
And you want to be with him.
I see the way you watch him when you know he's not looking.
You still love him.
It doesn't matter.
I can't let myself get hurt again.
Forget what you think you know about him.
All he's ever done is love you with his whole heart.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I care about him.
And you told me when you care about somebody, you put their needs first.
Kyle needs you, so I won't be getting in your way anymore.
Honestly, I have never seen a group of grown people act like a bigger bunch of babies.
Jealousy makes people do crazy things.
I guess.
Maybe I'd just hoped we were all a more evolved species.
Do I need to remind you we're talking about a bunch of teenagers?
OK, you are so not allowed to pull age rank on me.
I'm the one who handled this whole evening properly.
- With class. - And poise.
- And maturity beyond your years. - Exactly.
- Good night, Mark. - Hey. Do you need a ride home?
Um, actually, no. I... I sort of have one.
- Hi. You ready to go? - Mm-hmm.
Cute.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
- You're an idiot. - I'm an idiot.
I can't believe I thought I could handle...
...is gonna make up for the fact my current girlfriend is moving?
- See her again, I'll kill you. - You're a bigger idiot.
I panicked. I couldn't figure out how to pack you up
and ship you to Cleveland with the rest of my stuff.
You try Pack-N-Ship on Third?
They have great rates.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
You know that, right?
Of course you do.
Who wouldn't?
I love you, too.
- [Amanda] Kyle? - Amanda, I...
I didn't think you'd want to see me.
I don't want to be mad anymore.
I feel like that's all I've been lately.
I'm so confused about what to think of you.
And the only thing I can do to get through it is to follow my heart.
My heart says that there's still something there.
Please say something.
Amanda.
This person I am,
this life I lead, it's...
...it's different than anyone else's.
- I'm different. - I know that.
You know some of it.
But there are things that I could never tell you.
And people who want things from me, who know that the way to get to me
is through the people I love.
What does that mean, "get to you?"
It means that as much as I want us to be together, we can't.
Why does that get to be your choice?
Because my choice is to protect you.
Always.
You don't need to protect me.
What you need to do is explain.
I'm sorry.
But I can't.
Is something wrong?
I found something.
In Cassidy's office.
He has Sarah's ring.
What? How?
I don't know, but I think it might have something to do with her disappearance.
No, she didn't disappear. She left.
- We both thought that, but... - No.
How do you explain this?
The letter she left? The checks she's been sending?
I'm not sure.
Cassidy gave me this.
Look at the T's.
The cross bars are identical on all of them.
The same person wrote all of this.
Cassidy wrote this?
And the letter?
[sobbing] Why?
I don't know.
[sobbing] I can't believe this.
All this time I thought she left because she hated me.
Jessi, no one could ever hate you.
Jessi, please. I hate seeing you like this.
[sobbing] My mother didn't leave me.
She didn't leave me!
- She didn't leave. - I don't think she did.
I need to find out what happened to her.
Promise me you'll help me find out.
I promise.
