'Kyle XY' Returns with a New Girl and a New Mission
The Highly Anticipated Second Season Premieres Monday

No one, probably least of all ABC Family, anticipated that a little
old teen-oriented sci-fi show called Kyle XY would take off the way
it did last summer. Exceeding every expectation, the intriguing plot
about a bellybutton-less amnesiac with incredible intelligence gave
the basic-cable network its best ratings ever for an original series
and simultaneously locked in a second season of thirteen episodes,
three more than in the first year. Well, the wait for Season Two is
now finally almost over because Kyle XY returns to the tube Monday
night at 8pm EST, complete with a female bellybutton-deprived
counterpart for our beloved hero Kyle (Matt Dallas)—Jessi XX, played
by series newcomer Jaimie Alexander (Rest Stop)—and a new story line
that revolves around the purpose of Jessi's introduction.

When we last left the series, Kyle departed the supportive Trager
family after a bogus couple stepped forward claiming that he was
their son. Kyle was aware that the people were not really related to
him, but he complied with their scheme in order to protect the
Tragers from harm and, presumably, learn more about his past from the
vantage point of an insider.

Season Two unveils Jessi XX, a teenage girl whose origins and
existence are equally mysterious as Kyle's, with the added kicker
that she is just as malevolent as he is benign. Moreover, whereas
Kyle had the good fortune to end up with the relatively normal and
eventually welcoming Trager family after he woke up alone in the
woods, Jessi doesn't fare so well when she emerges from nowhere in
the heat of an explosion. Instead, she is captured by people who are
up to no good and then tasked with infiltrating Kyle's world. Posing
as a patient of Trager matriarch and compassionate psychologist
Nicole (Marguerite MacIntyre), she then proceeds to carry out her
mission with a determination as relentless as Kyle's.

While everyone else gets excited about this new character Jessi, who
will most definitely prove a fascinating foil and maybe even future
ally of the original teen from nowhere,

I'm reserving all of my happiness for the return of Tom Foss, played
by X-Files veteran Nicholas Lea. Lea was superb as duplicitous Alex
Krycek in the earlier groundbreaking show, and he's done no less a
fantastic job with the Foss character in Kyle XY. In fact, it was
largely because I knew he would appear in the series that I became
hooked earlier than most fans. I'm currently psyched beyond words
that he's back for the second go-round, which makes me confident that
good times will begin in earnest on TV this summer when the second
season of Kyle XY premieres next Monday.

As an added bonus to help fans catch up with the series and to allow
the uninitiated to learn what all the fuss is about, ABC Family is
airing a marathon of the entire ten-episode first season on Sunday,
June 10, from 1pm to 11pm EST.

From the official ABC Family press release regarding Season Two of
Kyle XY:

More questions arise and the risk of danger escalates in the second
season of the hit ABC Family original series "Kyle XY." Kyle begins
to learn the truth about his past, but under the strict training of
Tom Foss, he must also learn the full scope of his abilities. And all
of this must be kept secret -- even from the Tragers, who just want
to help him return to the life of a normal teenager. Kyle must learn
to live with his double life and the unknown dangers that lurk
outside the family's walls. The peril only increases when the girl in
the pod is set free and is on the hunt for Kyle. But can Kyle keep
the threats away or will they come straight through the Trager's
front door? "Kyle XY" stars Matt Dallas, Marguerite MacIntyre, Bruce
Thomas, April Matson, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Chris Olivero, Kirsten Prout
and Jaimie Alexander.
