Official Summary:
Kyle is willing to do anything to return to the Trager family. But he finds himself trapped between the man Adam Baylin dreamed Kyle could become and the normal teenager Kyle wants to be. In the woods outside town, Kyle's podmate XX wanders naked and covered in pink goo. XX utters her first words and kills a man in the same breath. It's no wonder the CEO of Madacorp takes a personal interest in recovering his company's lost asset, XX. And when XX reveals that she's seen Kyle, Madacorp makes recovering Kyle priority number one.
Key Moments:
Jessi is established displaying the flip side of the lack of socialization that she and Kyle have in common at first: a lack of morality. This opens the question about how and why Kyle and Jessi are different. Is it a matter of who they meet in the formative period after their awakening? Kyle encountered campers, and greeted them with wonder and curiosity; Jessi's encounter ends with death after the ill-fated woodsman attempts to assault her.
Cute Trager Family Drama of the Week:
Declan is even more moody after Kyle resurfaces at the Tragers' but still won't come clean.
Biggest Mystery:
Why does Jessi make drawings in the same way Kyle does (conjuring photo-quality images by pounding crayon tips into the paper)? In season one, this was the fairly cute result of Kyle being exposed to drawing implements for the first time and having to work out how to use them; but having Jessi come up with exactly the same process makes it seems like this method of drawing is hard-wired into the clones for some reason (which surely is not the conclusion we're supposed to draw).
Bottom Line: Worth Watching?:
The scenes where Kyle is welcomed back into the family are really quite touching. Once again Marguerite MacIntyre steals the scene, firmly but quietly conveying Nicole's overwhelming need to make sure that Kyle is loved.
