Kyle XY

Previously on Kyle XY.

How are you not burned?

I... I don't know.

I don't want anyone to have a reason to take me away.

No one else needs to know that you're different.

I feel hurt and angry, and if you want to break up,

- you're going to have to say it. - I wanna break up.

Doesn't matter anyway. I've already erased you. Never happened.

What if I just wanna be normal?

I'm not gonna let you ruin what we're trying to do!

I don't wanna do it anymore.

Now that's a well-balanced meal.

What the... This is a guys bathroom.

Relax. I have brothers.

At least I'm in the right bathroom,

Miss... whatever your name is.

Andy Jensen.

Tonight's mine and Charlie's two-year anniversary.

We've been through so much, he's been so patient.

I feel like I'm ready.

You're not gonna like this,

but I think there's something you should know about Amanda.

What's going on?

It's a really stupid joke.

I slept with him.

This is what you wanted to tell me?

You didn't think I wanted to hear it from you? You were wrong.

Get her into that family's life.

Destabilizing the boy's support structure will

make him more vulnerable, receptive to her.

I'm ready.

Life is made up of routines.

For as long as I lived with the Tragers,

my routine had been simple...

until now.

I wanted to explore and develop my potential,

which meant strengthening my mind and body

so I could use my abilities without harming myself.

But I had to do it in secret.

The early morning and after-school hours were the only times

- I could meet with Tom Foss. - Faster, faster. Pick it up.

I was the athlete in training.

I didn't come here to watch you walk it.

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

- Better. - And he was my coach.

Faster!

While I was finishing my morning routine,

the family was just starting theirs.

I had to get home before they knew I was gone.

Lori! Let's go!

Kyle?

Breakfast!

But life is far from a perfect science.

Statistically speaking, we're all bound to slip up.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Breakfast ready?

You okay?

- Just hungry. - Then come eat.

Be there in a minute.

This was my life, my routine,

and making it work was going to be a lot harder than I thought.

Season 2 Episode 4 - Balancing Act -

Is Josh still asleep?

You're kidding, right?

Stephen took him to take his driver's test this morning.The first appointment.

That's right. I forgot.

How? He hasn't shut up about it all week.

Hey, how'd it go?

You totally bombed, didn't you?

If by "bombed" you mean a direct hit,

as in I nailed it...

Did you pass?

Yes, I passed.

In fact, the instructor said I was the best she'd ever tested.

- He was very impressive. - Aw, way to go, Josh.

- Thanks. - Let me see that.

God, that's frightening.

I'll get it.

You do realize what this means, don't you?

You can drive.

Yes, my obvious friend, that is true.

But more importantly,

Dad gets to make good on his promise

of buying me a new car.

Oh, great. You remembered that.

Dad, it's for you.

A car.

That's a pretty big birthday present.

It sure is.

That's us. Soon,

we'll be the ones picking people up.

And after work, I wanna go scope out some dealerships.

- Are you in? - Absolutely.

For Dad.

Some light reading.

Okay.

Have a good day, guys.

Stephen, what is it?

That was the office.

The company was sold this morning.

Sold? I didn't know it was for sale.

Neither did I.

Some big conglomerate snatched us up.

Well, what does this mean?

It means...

I just lost my job.

Hi, Amanda.

I don't want to talk to you.

It's ok, I'll talk to you.

I mean I don't want you to talk to me, either.

- I just wanted... - You're still talking.

A little service here.

Hang on a sec.

You must just rake in the tips.

The extra 20 cents isn't worth it.

Fantasizing about your dream car?

Just narrowing down my choices.

You're actually getting a car?

It was my birthday this week,

and it's all systems go from my parents and the state of Washington.

It's incredible who they let behind the wheel these days.

Don't worry.

I brake for minors.

Did you clear things up with Amanda?

Didn't get a chance.

I saw you talking to her.

No talking allowed.

She'll get over it, just give her a little real estate.

You know, give her some space.

Is space what you wanted from Declan?

What I want from Declan is an explanation.

Or a distraction.

I need to do something to get him off my mind.

How about something from here?

I'm not really the "activity board" type.

I mean, have you seen the people who post these flyers?

Totally hideous.

The guitar, on the other hand, is a very sexy instrument.

What's the latest?

Everybody's still in shock.

Not even a hint this might happen?

I thought things were going great.

I mean, I was expecting a big bonus at the end of the year,

but now I'm looking for a job.

You'll find something.

Well, hon, at my level, jobs aren't easy to come by.

Everything else is a big cut in pay.

I got a lot of good contacts out there.

I'll put the word out right away.

We should tell the kids.

No. There's no point in worrying them.

Let me line something up first.

What are you doing?

- Giving you space? - No, you're staring at me.

I just want to say one thing.

You may want to say it,

but I'm not ready to hear it.

When are you looking for this...

offensive and irresponsible gas-guzzling heap?

Right after my shift, with Kyle.

Looks like you're flying solo.

There goes your wingman.

What are we doing?

Finding equipment.

- For what? - Your next challenge.

Balance,

coordination,

and weights.

You had me run 7,642 steps this week.

Now I'm gonna be lifting cement?

Baylin's body gave out because it couldn't keep up with his mind.

Baylin's body failed internally.

Weight training won't stop that from happening to me.

Mental and physical strength are connected.

Look, I don't mind doing the work, but do you even have a plan?

We should look at Baylin's journals.

- He may knew a better way. - I saw his journals.

It's formulas, equations you can learn that yourself.

But this kind of conditioning,

I can teach you.

- What else do we need? - Grab that.

That's right.

Inside.

Looking for something?

The guitar Dad got me. Have you seen it?

Well, I thing we sold it at the garage sale, which,

if I remember correctly, you told me to.

Oh, yeah. Crap.

Well, if you wanna play, I'm sure you can borrow your dad's.

I guess.

Did you ever feel like you're not interesting?

Like you hope people look at you and say,

"Hey, that Lori Trager, she's really good at...

whatever."

Everything I ever tried to be good at is in this closet.

And most of it is in the original wrapping.

Why do I get the feeling this sudden interest in guitar

has something to do with Declan.

Because you're a super psychologist?
