Previously on Kyle XY...

Back to normal.

I just hope Kyle is still... Kyle.

I know you think I'm a bad guy.

With Hilary, it's just physical.

It has nothing to do with how much I love Amanda.

-You're still together. -Why wouldn't we be?

I've been lying to Lori, my grades are screwed.

Tell me all of it was for nothing.

It wasn't for nothing. I can't say any more.

Zzyzx experimented with artificial reproduction

and produced two primary assets.

The male called XY. The second is a female, XX.

She apparently escaped. Consider her dangerous.

-It can't be. -Who is he?

-The other asset. -XY?

I thought he was terminated.

I'm going to tell Declan. I can explain it.

No, you can't!

-I need someone I can talk to. -Go ahead. Tell him everything.

See how long it takes before somebody catches wind of who you are

and drags you out of there! Is that what you want?

Back to normal.

A phrase of such simplicity it nearly defines itself.

The months that had passed since I had left have been anything but...

and I was ready for that part of my life to be over.

I was going to pursue normalcy as if my life depended on it.

So you just give the team statistics a value of two-thirds X,

factor in floor conditions and other simple formulas.

What's he talking about?

Uh, basketball pool at the office. I have a secret weapon.

Stephen, isn't that a little unfair?

Absolutely. Brad took the whole thing last year.

This year he's going down.

Who's getting death-by-fork?

Declan, if he's not dead already. I wouldn't know.

You two still having problems?

If by problems you mean him not returning my phone calls, then yes. I'm over it.

Josh, I need your friend Robby's number.

His mom asked me to volunteer for the Active Parents Committee.

Oh, really?

To which you promptly said, "No way in hell."

What's wrong with volunteering? I have the time.

Time to contribute to the social annihilation of your son.

Then it was time well spent.

- May I say something? - It depends.

-Latin, Greek or Arabic? -Go ahead.

Thank you.

-For this, for everything. -You're welcome.

You're welcome.

So cool.

She cleaned up well.

It took some work to get her to understand the concept of soap.

Does she just sit there all day?

Sometimes she sits facing the other way.

Can she hear us?

The room is completely soundproof.

We recovered some hard drives from the explosion of the former Zzyzx complex.

I was right.

The other subject, XY, the boy she drew in the pictures?

He wasn't terminated like we were led to believe.

Why would they lie?

He has something in his head, something they wouldn't admit was missing.

-What is it? -Your job is to get it back.

Hmm.

Where is he? I'll set up a retrieval unit.

I wish it was that simple.

The last time someone tried to grab that boy,

an entire complex was firebombed.

I'd like my parking space in the morning.

Fair enough.

Everything you need to know is in that file.

What should I do about the girl?

Actually, she makes me nervous just sitting there.

Get her a teddy bear or something.

Young love makes me want to hurl.

I wonder if Dull and Duller will make Best Couple again this year.

For what?

The Hit List. Everyone votes anonymously in different categories.

You know, things like Biggest Fashion Don't or Hottest Teacher.

Most in Need of an Enema.

-Sounds mean. -Well, it is.

Doesn't stop everybody from voting.

Well, why would anyone care?

Lesson number one: the list is life.

I don't think I like that.

Uh, at least you didn't suffer through last year's humiliation.

- Hilary made the list. - Yeah.

Biggest...

four letter word, rhymes with "chut."

I suppose it could be worse.

I could have an entire category named after me.

That hairnet has the Biggest Geekman award written all over it.

L.K. Deichman's got a lock on that.

That's why it's named after him.

I don't know, dude.

You're sort of giving him a run for his money right now.

Banana-guava, hold the wheatgrass.

I just got hammered on G-Force.

This new guy keeps popping into my game and wiping me out.

You're not supposed to spend your breaks on the Internet.

It's against the rules.

Be less cool. It will help your cause.

Nice guy.

Why are you eye-stalking those two?

I'm going to tell Amanda the truth.

Yeah, that's a bad idea with a capital "very."

Lesson number two: the messenger always gets shot.

Not literally. But you shouldn't be the one to tell her.

She'll hate you for keeping it secret in the first place.

It's a no-win situation.

You tell her. You don't like her.

And you're the one he cheated with.

What's done is done.

There's no need in making a bigger mess out of things.

-I have to go. -Hmm? So soon?

Hey. Lori's here.

I can't talk to her right now.

- What's this? - I found these in Baylin's files.

I can't meet you whenever you call.

-People will ask questions. -All these feats, all of them,

were performed by ordinary people.

Kyle, imagine what you can do.

-Are these real? -Yeah, they are.

We need to meet more often.

Start exploring your physical limits.

- I start school again tomorrow. - Well, then after school.

After school, there are clubs, hanging out--

You shouldn't be wasting your time hanging out.

Kyle, this is... this is what Adam wanted for you.

And we need to see that through.

All right?

Now the basic principle, obviously, is mind over matter.

Hey there.

-War and Peace. -A little light reading.

When do you think you'll start working again?

I haven't decided yet.

We haven't had a moment alone in a long time.

How you feeling?

I think...

I thought it'd be easier to get back to normal.

What you've been through is anything but normal.

It's gonna take some time to adjust.

You don't have to rush it.

But what if I want to?

Sometimes we run away from things as a way of

protecting ourselves from having to deal with them.

Want to talk about it?

How much time do we have?

You tell me.

I think I'll keep running a little longer while I figure it out.

As long as you know I'm here when you're ready.

You still have 29,642 words left.

You're not going anywhere.

I read the family history.

These people seem to consider him one of their own.

It's gonna be hard to make him disappear.

Actually, we'd like to get what we need

without anyone noticing we were there.

I'm not sure that I understand how that's possible.

You know what a firewall is, I assume.

Of course.

XY's brain is powerful, like a computer.

He's managed to develop a, um, mental equivalent of a firewall.

It's what prevented Zzyzx from being able to control him

and what will prevent us from getting what's inside his head.

That's where she comes in.

What, like a mental hacker?

In a manner of speaking, yes.

I was joking.

We need what he knows. She's the only one capable of getting it.

Ok. How?

I mean, he's been living a normal life in the suburbs.

Look at her.

She hardly seems capable of assimilating.

Just leave that to me.

- We're gonna be late for school. - School sucks.

I can't get up. My whole body hurts.

-Mind over matter. -Huh?

Use your mind to convince your body it feels better.

Kyle. Hey, man. Good to have you back.

You don't have to worry about Amanda. She's fine.

I don't see it that way.

-Yeah? Well, how do you see it? -You weren't honest with her.

Telling her the truth would have hurt her.

It was a no-win situation.

Well, right now, it seems like she's the only one losing.

Now that's a well-balanced meal.

What the...? This is a guys' bathroom.

Relax, I have brothers.

It's the only place I can get a good signal.

Uh, how about a classroom?

They're not into using class time to play G-Force.

I play G-Force.

Have you come across the handle AndyJ yet?

He's ruining me.

I know. I heard you talk about it at the Rack.

Banana-guava, hold the wheatgrass?

I order it, like, every day.

Sorry.

No big.

Speaking of doing weird things in weird places...

I'm pretty sure there's a cafeteria about a hundred yards from here.

-I'm hiding out. -From?

Cafeteria is full of landmines during list season.

I don't wanna be branded a loser like L.K. Deichman.

You'd rather be a loser who eats lunch in the bathroom.

At least I'm in the right bathroom,

Miss Whatever-Your-Name-Is.

It's Andy, actually. Andy Jensen.

Or AndyJ to you.

Last chance to buy tickets

- to the fifth annual Fire Fest. - Declan!

Let's go.

-Unbelievable. -I have the answer.

To how I'm gonna get my boyfriend to quit his dump and dodge routine?

- What are you wearing? - You like?

You look Amish.

It's part of my strategy to avoid the slut vote.

-I'm also gonna re-virginize. -Re-what?

Re-virginization. Think about it.

If it's ours to give away, then it's ours to take back.

But we worked so hard to get rid of it.

My problems began the minute sex entered.

Next thing you know, I'm the "chut" of the century.

And if I had never had sex with Declan,

I wouldn't be in this situation.

How does one "re-virginize"?

We just agree to it. There's this ceremonial thingy,

but mostly, it's us deciding that it's true.

Mind over matter. If we convince ourselves it's true, then it is.

We'll live our lives not motivated by boys

or sex or anything to do with boys and sex.

In which case, what do we do with ourselves?

I guess we'll have to ask a virgin.

Kyle! There you are. I feel like I haven't seen you all day.

-Hi. -Look...

I'm late for class, but we need to hang out.

I've got the bonfire committee at three. You want to help?

-I can't after school. -Oh.

-I'm sorry. -Oh, bummer.

Well, maybe this weekend.

-Bye! -Bye.

-Hey. -Hey.

-Hi. -Hey.

Will I see you at the bonfire?

- Well, Amanda's in charge of it. - Hmm. She'll be busy.

Yes, she will. And what will you be?

That depends on you.

Then I guess anything's possible.

What's this?

I recommend you learn it. All of it.

-Who's Jessi Hollander? -See for yourself.

Don't bring me to work if you're gonna make me sit here all day.

-Hello. I'm Emily's boss. -Hi. Jessi. Her sister.

Nice to meet you.

What did you do to her?

Think of it like downloading a program into a hard drive.

Only she's the computer and her life is the program.

Yesterday, she was a non-communicative,

cold-blooded killer with no means

which to live her life outside of that room.

Today... she's a young teenage girl

who likes strawberry ice cream and Avril Lavigne.

And what about her memories?

Zzyzx, the guy that she killed in the woods?

Deleted.

Everything she experienced in the first few days has been erased.

How?

Ms. Hollander, we're a multibillion dollar technological research

and development corporation, we have resources.

She thinks that she's my sister.

I'm just supposed to live that lie?

That's the assignment.

What's the next step?

Get her into that family's life.

Destabilizing the boy's support structure will make him

more vulnerable, receptive to her.

She'll just know what to do?

She won't know she knows anything.

She'll just think that she's the new girl hoping to make friends.

I recommend that you take her for a test drive.

Don't try to make contact. Just ease her in.

Watch for cracks in the facade.

I don't think Adam meant to take these studies literally.

It's basic science.

Your body won't feel the burn

until it reaches the temperature of the fire.

I need to keep my internal temperature constant.

Yeah.

I understand what I'm supposed to do, I don't understand why.

This isn't about walking on coals.

This is about you using your mind to change the physiology of your body.

You can do it.

Come on. Focus.

Uh-huh.

Hey. You're on the planning committee?

Oh, that's sweet.

Actually, no. We're here to talk to you.

Oh, yeah? About what?

Well, we were wondering... How do I put this?

Let's cut to the chase.

We're re-virginizing. We need to know what your people do for fun.

-My people? -Yeah, you know. The pure types.

You're serious? Re-virginizing?

We're a little adrift, socially speaking.

Okay, well, uh, it's not that complicated.

For example, the bonfire committee.

Yeah, we're not so much committee folk.

Well, I guess I can't help you then.

Maybe now's a good time to start.

Yeah, we can be bonfire-y.

Okay. Well, uh, tiki oiling or barbecue scrubbing?

You go ahead. I'll hold your purse. Go ahead. Yeah.

You made 400 cupcakes for the bonfire?

Yeah, well, it keeps me busy.

I appreciate this Martha Stewart universe you've been inhabiting,

but what's going on?

Do you think it would be awful if I didn't go back to work?

I didn't know that was an option.

I've been waiting to feel ready,

but I'm starting to wonder if I will.

But you love your job.

I did. And then I let myself get too close to a patient,

and I fell apart when I lost him.

Kyle is not an ordinary patient.

Now we all fell apart when he left.

If you don't want to go back, that's okay.

Things at the company are going well. We're gonna be just fine.

But I hate that you're doubting yourself.

I just don't feel good at it anymore.

Why would you say that?

Well, with Kyle, I still have a feeling that something's not right.

But he won't open up to me. I can't break through.

The Sex Shack. Many a sandy night spent in here.

Hils, focus.

Why do you guys want to re-virginize?

Trying to make better life choices.

You think having sex is a mistake?

-Why do you ask? -No reason.

Mm-hmm.

-It's just... -What?

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

I don't know, I thought it might be time.

No! I mean, I don't think it's a good idea.

Why not? I mean, I know he's not perfect,

but we've been through so much and he's been so patient.

I feel like I'm finally ready.

-Hello? -Major gossip.

I don't like gossip.

You're not gonna like this either,

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

Kyle, what are you doing?

Where are you going? We were just starting to make progress.

-I'm sorry. This is important. -Wait. Wait!

You're letting petty things compromise your destiny!

What do you mean, my destiny?

Like Baylin said, you can change the world.

What if I don't want to change the world?

What if I just want to be normal?

Last time we had this conversation

you made a skylight explode!

You're not normal! You're never gonna be.

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

What you're trying to do. I don't want to do it anymore.

Kyle!

I'm taking back what's near and dear.

Letting go of all I fear. Holding on with all my might.

Saving myself for prom night. Drink!

Okay, now we're born-again virgins.

Yes. B-A-V. Bavs.

-It's got a ring to it. -I like it.

Um, is this something someone told you never to tell?

No, but they probably don't want to hear it from me.

Kyle!

Get down, Kyle! Get down!

She's breathing.

How are you not burned?

Go! Get out of here! Run!

How...?

Please don't ask me any more questions.

Why?

Because you'll want to know why I can do what I can do and...

I won't be able to explain it to you because...

I can hardly explain it to myself.

But I can help you figure it out.

You don't have to be in this alone.

I'm not.

I have you and this family.

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

I wouldn't let that happen.

If anyone found out, you might not have a choice in the matter.

We just got you back.

If it means never letting you go again...

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

Nicole, I don't want to be different.

I just want to be ordinary.

Honey.

We could ignore all the things about you that you can't explain...

and you could try to act like everybody else.

But tonight there was a girl trapped inside a burning building,

and your only instinct was to save her.

That's who you are.

And there is nothing ordinary about it.

Crap.

So busted.

Before you say anything, yes, I have been drinking.

And, yes, I know it's not a good idea.

And, no, I cannot promise that I will never do it again.

I do, however, recognize that I'm using it as a crutch

to hide from the mistakes of my past

and I can assure you that I intend on living a much less destructive life

for myself in the future.

As soon as I figure out what my life is supposed to be.

I love you, and I didn't drive.

Oh, and I'm a virgin. Again.

Ow!

She's not actually getting away with that, is she?

Good. Cupcake, anyone?

Oh...

Where's Kyle? He seemed a bit out of it today.

He was feeling a little down. I talked to him.

Then he'll be fine. You're good at that.

He's right. You are good at that.

Then I guess it's time to stop running from it.

Oh, so how was the rest of your night?

-Uneventful. -Oh.

I don't think they did it.

You don't?

I have great sex radar. I can tell.

Besides, Amanda's a textbook case.

She'd want the night to be perfect,

and last night's pyrotechnic near-tragedy

was hardly the ideal setup.

I hope you're right.

And voting season's over in five, four, three, two...

I think we're about to get sage words of wisdom, Kyle-style.

Like, why are we both so worried about what other people think of us?

Or we can't be liked until we like ourselves.

Oh, I bet it's that we get to decide who we really are, not anyone else.

Huh. Interesting.

Declan and Lori are left with a new label...

The heartbroken.

People try to tell us who we're meant to be.

But it's up to us to decide whether or not the label fits.

After everything I'd done to fight it,

I finally understood the label I was meant to have.

I would never be normal or ordinary.

My destiny was to be extraordinary.

This is the label I've accepted.
