I hate being the new girl.
You'll be fine.
What if nobody likes me?
Why wouldn't they like you?
I don't know.
Just...be yourself.
Myself.
You know,nicole's kids go here.
Kyle's your age.
I don't know kyle.
I bet you twohave a lot in common.
How would you know?
I don't,but you won't make friends if you don't try.
Okay.
Have a nice day.
Well,that's subtle.
Nice rims.
Josh,the caris not on display for you to admireits accessories.
Somebody died in it.
Somebody who shouldn'thave guzzled a bucket of vodkabefore driving.
Check out that stereo.
You're diseased.
Kyle,knock some senseinto him.
I'm sorry I haven'tfixed your radio.
You have been remissin your boy genius duties.
I've had a lot on my mind.
I think I'm in a gunk.
A what?
A guy funk.
It's your word.
Oh,yeah. No,"gunk" is over.
You have the ennui.
Ennui?
Isn't that french?
Ennui is the new gunk.
Trust me.

Kyle XY Season 02 Episode 07
I was surrounded by people,many of them friends,
but none who knew the real me.
Foss had made it clear that he was the only one I should trust,
and I had allowed him to set the rules for how I lived my life.
But now all I felt was doubt and regret.
These are for you.
Why?
Well,let's see. A piano mysteriously appeared in my living room last night.
Really?
When I asked mom how it got there,she rolled her eyes in annoyance.
She did?
The only person who could annoy her like that is you.
- True. - Ergo,flowers.
Actually,tap-rooted perennial herbaceous plant.
I love them. Thank you.
Are you kidding? Thank you.
You've been such a good friend to me through everything.
You've been a good friend to me,too.
And I was thinking maybe that I should return the favor.
You want to give me a piano?
No.
But I thought we could go to the spring fling dance together.
I mean,if you wanted to.
Your mom won't like that.
My mom left this morning for a week.
The cat's away.
You don't have a cat.
No. I mean I can do whatever I want.
She's not around to control my life,to tell me who to hang out with.
My cat's away,too.
Is that a yes?
Yes.
Great.
That's great.
Okay,well,I'll-- I'll see you later.
See you later.
A single bright moment in an otherwise dark time.
With foss not around to dictate my days,
I could finally pursue the very thing he'd wanted me to give up: A life.
- Thank you. - There you go,sir. You're welcome.
- Yes? - Hi. Uh,can I get a large latte double shot?
Start the day off with a jolt,huh?
- Oh,hi. - Hi.
Yeah.
I just dropped my sister off for her first day at a new school.
She's nervous,I'm nervous.
I figured I'd drown myself in caffeine.
- What school? - Beachwood.
- Oh,my kids go there. - Yeah?
What's her name?
Jessi hollander.
And I'm emily,in case you forgot.
It's stephen,right?
Stephen trager.
Trager.
Any relation to nicole?
She's my wife.
No.
Unbelievable.
Jessi's been taking some private therapy sessions with her.
- You're kidding. - No.
She has been so great with her.
So,how are you enjoying life at madacorp?
Oh,well,so far,so good,
although I don't understand half of what they do here.
- We're building the foundations for tomorrow. - Right.
Yes,we're very important.
I'll tell my kids to keepan eye out for your sister.
Oh,that would be great.
She's had a rough time,but she's a good kid.
Well,maybethey can be friends.
I hope so.
- Well,I got to go. - Okay.
I'll see you around.
Bye.
You're off the hook.
I didn't knowI was on a hook.
I know you havea secret burning desire to ask me to the dance,
but I can't go.
And why,perchance,has this hideous fatebefallen me?
I got nabbed for tryingto borrow the stereo from the drunk-driving car.
You tried to steala dead person's radio?
Borrow.
So you can't go to the dance.
I was orderedto clean-up duty.
- Sucks. - Totally.
What sucks even moreis that you have to clean up after me and my dates.
- Your who? - Dates.
You have multiple datesfor the dance?
Uh,yeah. Is that a problem?
No,I just thought--
that I had a secretburning desire to ask you?
Yeah. No.
How's a girlsupposed to combat pms when the chocolate machine'son the fritz?
Did you buythe dance tickets?
They wouldn'tsell them to me.
Why not?
Because you're a girl.
And?
And that's it.
They won't sellsame-sex couple tickets.
But we're nota same-sex couple.
We're just two girlswho currently hate men.
I tried to explain that,
then they told meto buy two single tickets,which were more expensive.
Then I got all pms-y on them.
They told me to go away.
- That's stupid. - Whatever.
Yes.
Hi.
Hi,mood swing.
What's got you all peppy?
I'm going to the dancewith amanda.
Oh,the hypocrisy.
You have a date with amanda?
Oh,no. It's not a date.
How do you know?
She told me she'sdoing me a favor.
- A favor? - Uh-huh.
Kyle,what exactlydid she say?
She said,"you've beensuch a good friend "to me through everything,"
and I was thinking maybe "that I shouldreturn the favor. "
I thought we could go "to the spring fling dancetogether.
I mean,if you wanted to."
And then she saidsomething about a cat.
Oh,you sweet,clueless little muffin.
You better put onyour dancing shoes because you have a date.
I do?
You totally do.
Dibs on the new girl.
- Hi. - Hey.
You go here?
Yes.
I'm,uh,I'm charlie tanner.
I'll happily be your one-manwelcoming committee.
Maybe later we could hang out.
I'd like to do more kissing.
Oh,you have gotto be kidding me.
Who's that?
One of my mom'stroubled teens.
She looks like trouble.
You're only saying that because she's totallysmoking hot and sexy and hittingon my ex-boyfriend.
Pretty much.
I think I have to hate her.
Au contraire.
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
Make that girl your "frenemy."
What's the matter?
I have a date with amanda.
Well,that's great.
No,it's terrible.
Why?
Because I feel sick.
When did that start?
When I found outit was a date.
It's just anxiety.
But why am I anxious?
I like her.
I've liked her sincethe first time I saw her.
That's preciselywhy you're scared.
If you weren't,then you'dhave reason to worry.
You feel better?
Working on it.
Take a minute.
I'll get us some water.
- Jessi,hi. - Hello.
I'm sorry. I didn't hearthe back doorbell ring.
Do we have a session today?
Hey,mom. I invited jessi over.
Oh. That's nice.
Lore,do you have a second?
Sure.
Make yourself at home.
Since whenare you two friends?
She's not my friend.
She's my "frenemy."
Regardless of semantics,lori,I really don't thinkthis is appropriate.
I need to keep an eye on her.
She's all over declan,and I just don't thinkthey're a good match.
Well,I don't thinkpretending to be her friend is the mature choice.
You're crossingboundaries here.
Your job is what brought kyleinto this house.
Don't you thinkyou should be a little flexibleon the matter?
Hi.
You're kyle.
You're in my tub.
It's comfortable.
You didn't think it's strangeI sleep in a tub?
Is it?
Maybe a little.
You must be jessi.
You're here for nicole.
You call your mom nicole?
She's my guardian.
She used to bemy therapist,too.
Were you troubled?
I'm troubled.
Why?
I'm not sure.
Have we met before?
I don't think so.
Sweet. Pizza.
I thought you likedwhen I cooked.
Yeah,but ever sinceyou got good at it,we never get cool food.
I'll try to remember that.
Where is everybody?
Finally.
Uh,I'll take that.
Principal hooper called.
You won't be needing thisfor a while.
I blame you.
If you'dfixed this a week ago,I wouldn'thave been tempted.
I didn't fix it.
Jessi did.
Jessi did?
Who's jessi?
And is she hot or just smart?
She's one of my patients.
She's off-limits on all fronts.
Here we go again.
Mom's setting boundaries.
Mom's rights.
Twice in one daypeople are telling me who I'm allowedto hang out with.
The stupid schoolwon't sell us same-sex coupledance tickets.
What? Well,that's ridiculous.
What's wrongwith same-sex couples?
Nothing...
if they're girls.
Neanderthal.
Why are girls okayand not guys?
Both should be okay.
Then why is the schoolsaying no?
Apparently,they're stillliving in the 20th century.
Sweet. Pizza.
I'm never cooking again.
Dad,thank god you're here.
Dinner was becomingan episode of oprah.
Hey,guys,I have a coworker whose sister just startedat your school.
It's your patient,jessi hollander.
- Emily works at madacorp? - Mm-hmm.
I told her you guys would keep an eye outfor jessi.
Stephen,you haveterrible timing.
Uh,is lori your friend?
You want to talk about lori?
Well,she's being nice to me,and my sister saidthat I should make friends.
You are.
What about kyle?
What about him?
Is he your friend?
He used to be.
I don't reallyhave any friends.
Well,they're overrated.
You're lonely.
I'm lonely,too.
What's going on?
Jessi,what are you doing?
Making friends.
Hi. I'm--
leaving.
Who the hell was that?
Declan.
You are not seeing him again.
But I like him.
We have a lot in common,and there's a dance this--
no. You are notgoing with him.
Jessi,what is it?
My head.
You saidI should meet people.
Not him. That's notwho I meant.
Then who did you mean?
Jessi,stop beingso dramatic,and just do what you're told.
Hi.
I saw you from my window.
What are you doing out here?
Can't sleep.
What are you doing?
My mom said I'm supposedto be in bed by 10 while she's out of town.
- It's 11. - Exactly.
Are you okay?
Not really.
Kyle,it's okay if you don't wantto go with me to the dance.
I didn't mean to make youuncomfortable by asking you.
I do want to goto the dance with you.
Then why are youacting so weird?
Nicole saysit's because I like you.
You do?
Of course.
Don't you like me?
Well,yeah.
Yeah,I do.
I like you.
So we're goingto the dance together.
And you're okay with that?
It's the best thing that'shappened to me in a long time.
Hey,potentially sane tragerand perky blonde girl.
In the mood for a littlecivil disobedience?
Does it involve drinking?
Only if rehab's your ideaof social activism.
Here's your chanceto overcome the obvious geneticdeficiencies in your family.
"Beachwood bias"?
You're protestingthe dance policy?
Yes,the dance policy.
A bunch of usare ditching first period to plaster the schoolwith these.
We need more bodies.
Yeah,we're not,you know,of the lesbionic variety.
I don't really thinkthat's the point,hils.
You heard about usgetting denied dance tickets?
She made a little bitof a scene.
What? I was cranky. Sue me.
Anyway,I thought you guysmight be into taking a stand,having a voice,
that kindof important life stuff.
But maybe I pegged you wrong.
Whatever. No big.
Hey,wait.
Hold on.
You said you needmore bodies?
Yeah. Why?
You know anyone who wantsto help change the world?
As a matter of fact,I do.
I can't believeI'm skipping class.
And you're skipping class.
I got a hall pass.
Your teachergive you a hall pass?
Mr. Miller's an advocate for the principlesof nonviolent resistance.
I need more flyers.
Hillary and I are gonnawrap the flagpole.
She wanted to chainherself to it naked with the words "I heart gay"written on her body,
but this seemedlike a better plan.
You're really enjoying this.
I'm embracingmy inner activist.
That little andy'sa spitfire.
She definitely knowshow to rile people up.
I know. Poor josh.
She'll eat him alive--not literally.
Long live civil disobedience.
Crap.
Where does this school get offdenying same-sex couples?
It is the administration'sprerogative to upholdcertain moral standards.
Certain moral standards or your ownpersonal prejudices?
Mrs. Trager,I amprincipal of this school.
If you thinkyou can do a better job,I invite you to try,
but given the factyou've managed to raise two vandalsand a petty thief,
I recommend you stay focusedon your own children,
none of whom will beallowed to attend the dance.
Sorry you got busted.
Oh,whatever.
It was worth it.
I feel bad for kyle,though.
He really wantsto go to the dance.
Which brings me to phase 2.
There's a phase 2?
There is now.
Not that I don't appreciateyour commitment to the cause,
but why this one specifically?
I get it from my moms.
Moms?
Yes.
Plural.
Let's just say I don'thave a lot of tolerance for other people'sclosed-minded crap.
I don't understand how youtolerate my brother,then.
I like to think of josh asa perpetual work in progress.
Changing the worldone moron at a time,huh?
Something like that.
Well,then,count me in for phase 2,except I can't get suspended.
I don't think supermom could bail me outtwice in one week.
Speaking of supermom,mine are both booked,
so do you think yours would be willing to chaperonea non-school-sponsored event the same nightas the spring fling?
Well,like an alterna-dance?
Something whereeveryone's welcome,no matter who their date is.
The swing spring fling.
I love it,and so will my mom.
She's dying to putprincipal hooper in his place.
There's hope for you tragersafter all.
What's up,buddy?
Lori's planninganother dance.
I heard.
And according to mom,I'm still on clean-up duty.
There's no justice.
I need dancing shoes.
As opposed to any otherkind of shoes?
Hillary said I need to put onmy dancing shoes for amanda,
except I don't have any.
- Dude,it's just an express-- - expression.
I knew that.
Sure.
- Except--- - yes?
If there's no shoesto help me dance, how do I do it?
Do what?
Dance.
You don't know how to dance?
I don't know. I've never tried.
Well,then,my large-brained friend,allow me to teach you.
You're the smart one.
Music is made of beats.
Get the beats,you'll get the rhythm.
Uh,right,uh...
you got to,you know...
feel it.
I feel it.
4/4,4/4,bop,bop,bop.
No,I mean feel the song.
Express yourself.
Dancing is freedom.
Yeah,yeah,I guess.
Uh,you're notfeeling it,man.
You'll be fine if you'redancing next to someone who knowswhat they're doing.
Otherwise,I think we foundthe first thing you suck at.
Check it.
We're dancing together.
I'm dancing.
You're copying.
So why do you have a problem with other guys dancingtogether?
- Totally different,dude. - Why?
We're not having oneof those conversations now.
I know why you don't like it,
but you're the one who saiddancing's all about freedom.
So shouldn't everybodybe able to enjoy it?
Jessi,you want to bemy first ticket buyer for the alterna-dance?
I assume you're goingwith declan.
I'm not going.
Oh?
My sister won't let mego with him.
Why not?
She has a lot of rules.
She's strict,huh?
She's really strict.
She's always telling mewhat to do.
Where are your parents?
My mom's crazy,and my dad couldn't handle it,
so emily takes care of me now.
Wow. That's rough.
Yeah,we haven't alwayshad the easiest life.
And emily's all I have.
She loves me,and that'swhy I have to listen to her.
But I really wantto go to the dance.
I am a horrible person.
- You are? - Yes.
I'm sorry. I have notbeen very nice to you.
You've been nice.
Not inside my head.
Let me make it up to you.
Nobody should haveto sit at home alone when everyone elseis out with their friends.
You can comewith me and hillary.
I can?
Sure.
Why not?
We'll be a threesome.
Dinner's in ten.
I have to dine and dash.
I got to meetthe decorating committee.
I think I like activist lori.
She reminds meof someone I know.
By the way,mom,I invited jessito come to the dance with me.
- Lori--- - I know you don't like it,
and believe me,I'm surprising myself,
but she's like a lostlittle puppy or something.
I just feel sorry for her.
Must be genetic.
She just used heredity as an excusenot to obey her mother.
Yeah,well,she's good.
The situation with jessiis different than it was with kyle.
There's something about herthat worries you?
I couldn't discuss iteven if there were.
That's my point.
Uh. Point made,although I think lori'sinstincts are pretty good.
Must be genetic.
Whoa. Nice moves.
I taught him everythinghe knows,literally.
- Excited about your big date? - Yes.
Uh-oh. Here comes dad'sfatherly advice about dating.
Well,let's hopeit lands better on kyle,seeing as how yoursnever happened.
A dagger in the heart,dad.
You know,I'm really impressed that your friend andy helped putthe whole night together.
She probably only did it so I wouldn'tget off garbage duty.
Uh,somehow I doubt that.
- Plus,if you hadn't felt itnecessary to steal-- - borrow.
Whatever.
You could be going with her.
Why would I wantto go with her?
You're all crazy.
What happened?
Principal hoopercalled my mom,and she came home early.
I'm grounded. I can't go to the dance.
SWING SPRING FLING
people actually came.
Hils,you are such a pessimistabout the human condition.
We got our message out there.
Of course people came.
Yeah,plus we soldour tickets for half the priceof the other dance.
Yeah,that helped.
What are we doing here again?
Supporting lori.
Why?
Because the other nightI made out with jessi
while loriwas in the next room singing a songabout our breakup.
Whoa,that's,uh...
that's a move worthy of me.
Great.
Now I reallyfeel good about myself.
Uh,I'm-- I'm gonna needsomething stronger if that's��
when did you two hop onthe lesbian granola bus?
I don't know.
Hils,you want to give it a try?
Yeah,I've always wantedto be a granola lesbian...
If only to never kiss homophobic cheating jerkslike you.
You busted your new moves yet?
I don't think I like dancing.
Because you're notfeeling it,
which is understandable,given your dateless status.
But you're more than welcometo join me on clean-up duty.
These sour patch kidsare different.
They're extreme...
like my punishment.
People,the earthis not your trash can.
Static electricity.
An electrical charge caused by an imbalanceof electrons on the surface of a material.
You like science.
I guess.
How did you knowhow to fix josh's radio?
Sometimes I just know things.
Me,too.
You made it.
I snuck out.
Hi,declan.
Hey.
You thirsty?
Sure.
- Hey. - Hi.
I see I'm not the onlyworkaholic in the company.
Oh,all work,no play.
Well,it looks likeyour evil plan is working.
- What? - Jessi.
She and my daughterlori really hit it off.
Oh,yeah. That's great.
I'm going to the dance nowto help out nicole.
You can join us and check out the buddingfriendship for yourself.
Jessi's not there.
I'm pretty sure she is.
Lori said she was going.
Social as ever,I see.
You missed something.
Where?
There.
Very funny.
So how's the hot dates?
I guess you'll just have tosee for yourself,won't you?
I hope the viewfrom the garbage cans is good enough.
It's not reallymy scene anyway.
What about itisn't your scene?
- You know. - You don't like gay people.
That's not what I meant.
Oh. I see. You're gay.
What? No.
It's cool,though.
I'm hip with the gays.
I'm not gay.
Bummer.
It might make you cooler.
- you're here. - I am.
How? Why?
I snuck out.
Long live civil disobedience.
Come on. Let's dance.
she's good.
Yeah.
Shame you can't be out there.
Yeah.
I guess if you agreed to some community serviceat my discretion,
I could lift your punishmentfor one dance.
I don't know.
She looksa little busy with her dates.
Uh,somehow I thinkshe'll make the time.
go.
go for it.
Oh. I think it'sa hundred degrees in here.
This is fun.
Thank you for inviting me.
That's a reallypretty necklace.
Thanks.
It's a remnantfrom my declan days.
He gave it to you?
Yeah.
Do you wish that youwere still with him?
Honestly,sometimes.
We didn't end very well,
so there's alwaysgonna be part of me that wishesthings were different.
But he's moved on,obviously.
Anyway,back to work.
you're a good dancer.
This part's easy.
- Slow dancing is-- - no.
Dancing with you.
I don't think charlie's very happy to see us dancing.
Who cares what charlie thinks?
Do you mean that?
You mean that.
lori still wantsto be with you.
I don't think so.
Do you still want to be with her?
I'm with you,aren't I?
You made it.
- Emily. - Hi.
We have a little problem.
Jesse!What did I tell you?
- Oh! - Hey!
Stay out of this.
You're not supposedto be here.
You're hurting my arms.
- Emily,why don't we all-- - I'll handle this.
Get your things.
You're coming home now.
I don't want to.
You don't get to makethose decisions.
- Did you see that? - No.
- The lights. - What lights?
Jessi,we're leaving.
You can't tell me what to do!.
Doesn't look like the power'sgonna come back on.
It's for the best anyways.It's pumpkin hour.
Time for me to get home, unless I want to be groundeduntil I'm 50.
Well,I hopethat doesn't happen.
I'd like to go outwith you again,before you're 50.
I'd like that,too.
Good night.
Go ahead.Throw the trashat my feet again.
What are you doing?
I think it's called cleaning.
No.You're being nice.
You're never nice.
I'm totally nice.
You make fun of me,you put me down,
and you always haveto have the last word.
I thoughtthat was...our thing.
We have a thing?
Well,not likea "thing" thing,but you know...
a vibe.
A pattern.
A thing.
Yeah.
Cool.
- Oh,yeah,your dates,they're- - gay,yes.
Actually,I was gonna saythey're pretty cool guys.
Go ahead.Get in the last word.
No need.
Thwarted byan electrical snafu.
Other than the drama,it was a pretty great night.
You were certainly enjoying it.
Sarcasm,party of one.
It's okay.I deserve it.
What,because,on top of everything else,
you bailed on me right before my first everlive performance?
Yeah.Not your best moment.
I'm really sorry,lori.
I wanted to be there.
You were there.And then...
suddenly you weren'T.
I can't explainwhat happened.
I've been in a bad place for so long,
and then jessi was there,
and somehow it wasan escape from it all.
She makes you feel better.
She makes me...forget.
Forget me?
I don't want to forget you.
But with everything else...
being with her feels better than being alone.
What exactly happened between you and kyle?
I never understoodwhat went wrong with you two.
Besides you...
kyle was the only real friendI ever had.
I guess...
we didn't trust each otheras much as we thought.
Romance interrupted.
You and your words.
Let there be light.
Ladies and gentlemen,boys and boys,
thank you so muchfor coming out--
literally-- to this very gay event.
And by gay,I-- I don't-- I don't mean happy.
I mean,oh,so very homosexual.
Knock it off.
Why?I'm just messing around.
No,you're being an idiot.
You should rememberwho your friends are.
You're right.I should.
Declan.
What's up?
I want to tell youeverything.
I don't get it.Why now?
There's someone elsewho knows my secret.
I thought he was the only oneI could rely on.
Tom foss.
How do you know that?
I think there's somethingyou should see.
Saw the two of you together.
Started digging around.
He left these for me...
as a warning.
- A warning? - To back off.
Foss did this?
He obviously doesn't want me involved.
But I'm in this.I always have been.
If you want meto know the truth, I'm ready to hear it.
Okay.
