Jessi went nutty in Kyle XY Season 2 Episode 19, insisting on winning everything, a mirror of Sarah, who died because she pushed too hard. Andy’s preparing for her checkup tomorrow to see whether she’s still got cancer, but it doesn’t appear as though she does.
A sleepwalking Kyle goes into the kitchen to draw a picture with ketchup. When they return to his room, they see a mass of pictures that need to be put in order. Nicole believes it happened because of stress from the major relationship changes in his life. She suggests he uncomplicate his life. So he goes to The Rack, where everybody needs his brain to help their studying efforts. He doesn’t want to disappoint them. Stephen also needs his cooking assistance, while Lori wants help writing a prom theme song. He starts forgetting simple words and bumping into things. Jessi can tell something’s wrong with him.
Kyle realizes he’s slowly losing control of his abilities, and it’s not going unnoticed by the others. Josh says he’s like the idiot king of Stupidtown.
Mrs. Bloom reluctantly lets Amanda study with Kyle, saying the test answers will prove whether her trust in him has been well placed. He hopes he can earn the honor of a date with her “giraffe” (aka Amanda).
When he heads to his room to rest, he draws the pictures again. He doesn’t think the problem is stress.
Since Kyle’s not smart enough today, Josh calls Jessi to help them study, which obviously doesn’t please Amanda. Jessi forces Josh to do pushups when he gets something wrong, which could lead to quite a workout. Nobody else wants to study with her for some unknown reason.
Mark, Stephen’s TA, comes to the house to assist with a mechanical problem. He goes to the bathroom upstairs, where he gets trapped by Lori. She asks for his advice, and he’s got a lot, even if it’s blunt. Declan quickly gets jealous. It turns out Hillary is an idiot savant and is a great cook. Then Amanda rescues Josh from Jessi.
Andy’s got good news. She doesn’t have cancer any more. That’s what he apparently did. Curing her pushed him too far, a point not lost on Jessi, who was already suspicious to begin with. The action of curing her was just unintentional, driven by an emotion for wanting to help her.
Hillary’s got an obvious theory. There’s sexual tension between Mark and Lori.
Kyle tries to pretend he’s okay, but every little noise is driving him mad. He eventually ends up starting a fire. Amanda goes home to play the piano, hoping it will help him. He’s comforted but still lost and confused.
Adam Baylin comes to find out what’s wrong. Adam doesn’t believe he actually healed Andy, at least not at this stage in his development. He does have a theory, though. The record Kyle’s been listening to from the diner is the key.
Mark decides that Lori is a great lyricist but that he’ll help her with the music. He also agrees to DJ the prom.
Kyle’s subconscious is trying to tell him to listen to the subliminal messages hidden on the record. The sounds are then translated into images, like a fax machine. Adam’s not sure where the message is coming from, since Sarah’s dead and all.
They take the images Kyle drew and put them on a computer, where he gets a visual of a Latnok ring with a message of “I’m Alive.”
Amanda’s mother is happy that her daughter played the piano, the first time she’s done that since she’s been back. He asks for permission to take Amanda to the prom, and he gets a yes.
Josh is convinced that, regardless of what Kyle may say, he did help Andy in some way.
Kyle realizes that the simplest way to solve a problem is to be sure you have someone to help you, which everybody did by coming together to help each other.
