Kyle XY - Season TWO

Tonight's episode of Kyle XY - The List is Life - was all about being labeled.

As the episode takes off, Hillary is worried about the List that the school produces every year from people's votes. Last year she was called the biggest slut, so this year she works on her look and revirginization process. She enlists the help of Lori, and the two of them are on a mission to revirginize themselves. They talk with Amanda Bloom about what it's like to be a virgin, and she reveals that she is thinking about sleeping with Charlie, her boyfriend of two years. Hillary, who had secretly cheated with Charlie, tells Amanda to wait on that.

On the flip side of things, Josh Trager now has a job, and he is also frustrated with an online game that he is playing. Some kid called Andy keeps beating him, but soon Josh meets the kid and finds out that the one who is beating him is a girl. (Possible Romance there???)

Tom Foss did much research on abilities that people had had in centuries past, and he had Kyle try to walk on hot, burning coals as a way of him controlling his body temperature. Kyle couldn't do it and left after he had received a phone call from Lori about Amanda's decision to sleep with Charlie the night of their 2nd year anniversary.

XX, who is being detained in a testing facility, has a life created for her and her other memories erased so that she thinks she is Jessi Hollander, Emily Hollander's sister. Jessi XX goes with her "sister" to the bonfire party that night, and at the party, she senses Kyle's presence. Kyle senses the same. Jessi XX starts to look around for him, but she is soon bumped from behind by a young man. The guy touches her arm, and reacting from a flash of one of her earliest memories, she grabs him by the throat and lifts him up. Emily Hollander rushes in and stops her. The two leave the party.

Back at the bonfire party, Lori finally meets up with Declan. He had been avoiding Lori, her phone calls, and her desperate attempts at talking to him ever since Kyle let him down about who he is. Lori finally confronted Declan about the issue of them, and he told her that he wanted to break up. In tears, Lori left his side.

Also at the party was Charlie Tanner, the biggest cheater at the school. A girl at the party told him to meet her in the sex shack, but before he could meet up with her, Declan told him about Kyle's attempts at telling Amanda the truth. Charlie told the girl that he would be there in a few minutes. Charlie left to find Amanda and Kyle. When he found them, Kyle had just finished letting Amanda know that he had something to tell her about but wasn't sure she wanted to hear it from him. Before Kyle could tell her about her boyfriend's cheating ways, Charlie interrupted and told Amanda that the pop had run out. She left, and Charlie told Kyle to shut up about what he knew.

Kyle then decided to leave the party, but Declan caught up with him. As they argued, the shack that they were near caught on fire. Charlie ran there and told them that there was a girl inside. Declan told Charlie to go get help, and he ran off. Kyle, on the other hand, burst into the building and carried out the young girl. When he dropped to his knees on the sand, Declan looked at Kyle's clothes and exclaimed, "You aren't burnt. Why aren't you burnt?" Declan then urged Kyle to flee, but before he could disappear completely from the scene, Nicole Trager saw Kyle in his smoldering clothes.

Back at the Trager home, Nicole had a talk with Kyle about what happened, but Kyle told her that he couldn't reveal his secrets. He wanted to keep the Tragers safe.

At school the next day, the list arrived. To her surprise, Hillary wasn't on the list at all that year, Lori and Declan were named the Best Couple, and Charlie Tanner was called the Biggest Slut. When Amanda sat down next to Lori, she was given the list. At first she thought it was a joke about her boyfriend, but Hillary told her the truth about Charlie. Amanda turned to Kyle and told him that he was wrong about not wanting to hear it from him, and then she left the lunchroom in tears.

Later that day, Kyle returned to Tom Foss's hideout and told him that he was ready to continue with his training.

Until Next Monday...
