    The season has been a rather 'dark' one. Like alot of the scenes are hidden, secretive, or in dark areas. I don't remember it being 'dark' last season this much. Also we see Amanda again. She is still dating Charlie surprisingly. We once again see the old Fos who is yelling at Kyle to stop and not tell Declan because it will just make the situation worse. Classic Foss right there! Lori has also been a little different not that it is a bad thing though. I still like Declan and his part in this. Josh went back to his alien notes from last season. That's always good. I thought it was an okay episode in all but last week's was way better.moreless
  • I miss season one.

    Last season I thought about how this show should focus more on the mystery and less on Kyle fitting in. This season, it's way too focused on the mystery aspect. I should also keep in mind while I write this, that I have not yet seen the next few episodes that have aired. I really should catch up on those. I felt bored with this episode. I really like the actress who plays the detective looking for Jessi XX and Jessi herself. They're great. The ideas that were created and planned for this episode were great but I think that this episode read better on paper then it did on screen. Even though I find they are necessary for balance and for development, I find myself disinterested in storylines like Kyle developing his powers and Madacorp. Right now, I just want to get back to what made me laugh and actually find Kyle interesting. Stuff like Kyle being on the basketball team, jumping from roofs and discovering what a boner is. All that said, it's still a great show and worth watching.moreless

    Kyle is home and the Tragers want to adopt him. Tom Foss tells Kyle that he can't reveal his secrets to anyone. Kyle sees Amanda again and finds out that she is still going out with Charlie. XX wanders out into the world. She kills someone and is found drawing. Madacorp finds her and finds out that Kyle is still alive. Declan wants to know more.

    This was a great episode! I did like the humor in the end when Kyle said the phone was going to ring. Also, when Kyle drank the water and said it disappeared. This was a great episode and it gets a 10!moreless

    Wow, I was enjoying watching this episode! Ah what the hell, I enjoying watching every single episode of "Kyle XY". This episode reminded me of episode 2 season 1 (if I'm not wrong) there in the end of that episode the whole family sat together, ate their dinner and when everyone of the family laid the food on Kyles plate. This is exactly what this episode reminded me of. Except that they laid the food. But wow, it was so exciting to watch it! Kyle is so cute and how he tries to hide his secrets and Nicole makes me tear up! Well done!moreless

    I'm happy that Kyle went back to the Tragers. I'm looking forward that Tragers will adopt XX soon. Haha. There's a new detective probably an important character in the second season. But the question remains: "Will XX be a good or bad?" I don't know so let us wait for the upcoming episodes. Plus, I want to acknowledge my friend Powee who is always giving me a copies of episodes. He influenced me from watching this show. Thank you daddy Powee kahit na sabi mo di mo ako anak. Pero okay lang yun. Haha. Yun lang po. By the way, I am a proud Filipino.moreless

    • Nicole: It's just so hard to believe. Stephen: I know. You kept sensing something was wrong... Nicole: I never dreamed of anything like this. Stephen: You're not feeling guilty, are you? I can tell you're happy Kyle's home - miserable about the reason. Nicole: When did you become the psychologist in the family?

    • Kyle: If a guy funk is a Gunk, then what's a girl funk? Josh: Redundant. (Lori throws a berry at his head)

    • Nicole: Okay, just remember Kyle's been through a lot, so be extra sensitive. (Lori and Stephen stare at Josh) Josh: Why you all looking at me? Lori: Because you're such a model of tact and compassion. Josh: Fine, I won't speak. Lori: Hmm, can we have that in writing?

    • (Kyle concentrates on the glass with water in order to move it) Josh: (in the background) What are you doing? Kyle: Hey, Josh. Josh: Why were you zoning out like that? Kyle: Was I? Josh: You were staring at that glass. Kyle: I was thirsty. Josh: Hah, right…c´mon, did you learn some new tricks while you were away? Kyle: I don´t do tricks. Josh: Kyle, you forget, I kept records. Ok? I would be more than happy to bust out that file if you got something new you wanna show me. Kyle: Ok, I do have something. But we have to concentrate really hard if we want it to work. Josh: Absolutely. Kyle: Face the glass…Close your eyes. Josh: Close my eyes? Kyle: Do you want it to work? Josh: (closes his eyes) Kyle: (Kyle drinks out the water) Open them…I made the water disappear.

    • Kyle: Can we make one more thing official? Nicole: What's that? Kyle: My legal name is Noah, but I'll never be anybody but Kyle. My name is Kyle. Stephen: (Smiling) We'll take care of it.

    • Emily: (talking to Ballantine) Our girl's been busy. (Sarcastically) You offer art classes at Zzyzx?

    • Stephen: Sleep okay? Kyle: I haven't slept so well in days. Josh: Nothing beats a cold slab of porcelain.

    • Kyle: I couldn't help but think back to the last night I'd spent in this room. It was the beginning of my secret life, before I left with the Peterson's, and now I was home hiding even more secrets. I could only hope that whatever fate had in store for me, it would be kind and forgiving to people I loved.

    • Lori: Kyle come on I'm starving. Josh: You better sit before things get ugly. Nicole: So, here we are. Kyle: Here we are. Stephen: Back to normal. Josh: Too normal. Lori: Josh.. Stephen: Let's eat. Kyle: The phone's about to ring. (pause) The phone. It's about to ring. (phone rings) Lori: How did you do that? Josh: I'll tell you how. He's Kyle.

    • Tom Foss: That's what we're here to explore. And that's why you can't explain, (pointing to the windows Kyle shattered) because that… That is unexplainable.

    • (At the juice bar) Kyle: How's the job search going? Josh: I still haven't found my ideal work situation. Kyle: Which is...? Lori: Sitting around, eye-groping unattainable cheerleaders... Kyle: ...Which he does here. (Lori nods in agreement) Josh: Here! Kyle, you're a genius! Lori: Oh, please! I don't even think you can work a blender. Josh: (Scoffs at Lori, then asks a nearby employee) Yo, you hiring?!?

    • (The Tragers tell their children what Brian told them about Kyle) Nicole: Josh, you okay? Josh: Yeah, but a kidnapping? It's just so---ordinary! Yeah, it's great that Kyle's okay, but this completely blows my alien abduction theory out of the water. Lori: There is something seriously wrong with you!

    • Camper: (After seeing Jessi naked in the woods) Thank you. It's not even my birthday.
