A weekend getaway turned serious in Kyle XY Season 3 Episode 5. Nicole got into a car wreck, and in order to save her, Kyle had to agree to join Latnok.
Jessi asks Lori to not say anything to Kyle about her seeing Cassidy. Lori agrees, in exchange for blackmailing her with keys to her apartment.
Stephen and Nicole have received the hospital bill, as exhorbitant as can be expected. Imagine if the doctors had actually saved her life.
Kyle goes to visit Latnok as planned. It’s at the university, which gives them space in exchange for bragging rights about their advances in science and technology. Cassidy has told the others Kyle’s a boy genius but not much more. Mark’s among those he meets.
Andy is back and may possibly have changed her mind about jumping Josh’s bones. The may possibly part seems to have passed, but it’s back again once Lori walks in the room without knocking. At least it was her and not mom.
Lori knows they can’t pay the hospital bill because they walked her through the family finances last year.
Kyle wants Mark to tell Lori the truth. Perhaps Latnok can assist with the family’s problem. By chasing grants, Mark cleared more than $80k last year. Cassidy asks Kyle to go home, sleep on it, and if he’s not back in the morning then that’s that.
Josh works a minimum wage job. Lori doesn’t work at all, but maybe she could take her guitar and work on a street corner. Josh suggests losing the guitar. Kyle’s got a better idea. He calls Cassidy and will be back tomorrow.
Kyle plans to join a hoverboard competition. He’ll have 36 hours to prepare. Nate, who believes he’s the top dog there, has been trying to do this for over a year and is still working out the bugs.
Lori tells Amanda that Jessi’s over Kyle, so maybe she doesn’t have to be.
Josh plans to sell everything he owns online. Andy will be his boxer/shipper. He will be using Jessi’s apartment, which he blackmailed out of Lori by inferring things (he’s got nothing on her, but she’s a very guilty person). Andy’s happy to help, if they can get to the reward part first. Alone in the apartment with no chance of getting caught. A lot of couples would kill for that chance. Perhaps they would pay for it instead. Josh has a new scheme, which does not involve jumping his girlfriend.
Kyle is working on his board and gets a kiss from the girl who he helped with her science experiment. Her tomato plants doubled their growth in 12 hours thanks to him.
Lori has decided to not go to college to save money. Her mom who just got out of the hospital and has a weak heart isn’t having it.
Jessi has been given some instructions from the others. Lori doesn’t want Nicole to strain herself, and Kyle doesn’t want her to worry. She reveals that Kyle’s working with Latnok, and Nicole wants him to end things. He can’t.
One of Josh’s friends calls to cancel a 10:30 appointment. The guilty looking Lori knows what’s going on. The 10:30 arrives. It’s mom and dad. There go Josh’s plans.
Nate doesn’t want Kyle to take over. He refuses to help Kyle by sharing his supplies.
Amanda brings over some lasagne. It’s for the family, even though her eyes are darting around looking for Kyle. Her favorite person Jessi answers the door. She doesn’t have a new boyfriend, even if Lori told Amanda that.
Cassidy wants to know how they can earn Kyle’s trust. Considering his project has been wrecked, they probably can’t. Nate ruined it and doesn’t care. Kyle walks out and is going to take care of his family.
When he goes home, he still wants to make a hoverboard, though he doesn’t have any good materials for it. Josh suggests cheating, but Kyle has a pesky problem with having morals.
Jessi has been getting money from Sarah for expenses. She offers to pay rent. Nicole realizes that everybody knows about the bill. She wants to be the adult and take care of the bills, but Kyle blames himself for the accident. He’ll fix the problem by finishing the project and winning the competition. Stephen offers to help. Eventually, Nicole agrees to help as well, and it turns into a family project. They test it out, and it works. Briefly. The magnets aren’t pure enough. They could get some from Latnok, but Nicole doesn’t want Kyle to ask. With Sarah’s checks, there’s another alternative. Jessi tracks down an online supplier to get the magnets cheaper, so at least now they have a chance.
Some of the people from Latnok show up to help Kyle. He can trust them. None of them are named Nate. Mark’s one of them, and since Lori’s there, he tells her that he’s part of Latnok. Kyle and Nate are on stage at the same time showing off their hoverboards. Josh just hopes nothing explodes. Nate keeps going higher so he can beat Kyle, but it’s not quite enough. Round one to Kyle, who wins $50,000. Nate promises round two.
Now Josh is rearing to go, but Andy isn’t. He may have escaped having to sell the house and move, but she’s going to Cleveland.
Nate arrives at The Rack, where he meets Amanda. Round two.
Kyle’s still upset with Jessi for having been manipulated by Cassidy into getting him to join them. To regain his trust, she tells him that Amanda came by the other day and probably still likes him. But she wants him to be with her instead.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Kyle XY Season 3 Episode 7 Chemistry 101, which airs Monday at 9/8c on ABC Family.
this subcribtion sucks. it wasnt clear at all.
It’s close to 1000 words, which I think is pretty fair to encompass a recap. However, I am open to suggestions (specifics please) as to what could be improved.
I think your recap was good. I always read Kyle XY recaps here.
Anyway, I didn’t like this episode much, but it was decent. I used to not care much about this show, until Jessi showed up and made things more interesting. So I want her to end up with Kyle, who I think is perfect for her. This is the reason I think this episode was worth watching–that last scene was very interesting. I just watched episode 7 and it’s AWESOME. I really hope Jessi and Kyle become a couple.
