[Announcer]
Previously on Kyle XY...

Kyle?

Be careful, even in
our backyard.

We have bigger problems
than Mrs. Bloom.

Jessi starts back
at school today.

I sort of levitated.

Show me how.
I will.

She's the one
who attacked me.

I know Lori will
never forgive me.

[Kyle]
You have to earn
forgiveness.

"She Could Be You."
What?

The two of you used to play
that song all the time.

[Kyle]
D4.

It's not there.

It's a Latnok ring.

All the members
received rings.

It was a way
of identifying one another.

And you're Latnok?
Yes.

I got accepted into
a music program in New York.

I leave in two days.
Two days?

I miss this.

I miss you.

I didn't want to go back
to how I was before.

[Kyle]
How were you before?

Invisible.

I'll call...
and text and e-mail.

I'm gonna come back to you.

You promise?
Promise.

♪ I don't know... ♪

[Kyle narrating]
Spring cleaning--
a curious ritual.

Nicole said it meant time
to rid ourselves

of things we didn't
need anymore.

♪ Follow each other ♪

♪ Into the night... ♪

[Kyle]
The first step
is reflection.

What's worth keeping?

What's lost its value
and can be given away?

♪ All my life ♪

♪ I can't sleep ♪

♪ In my bed... ♪

[Kyle]
For some,
the choice is easy.

For others,
much more difficult.

Wow! Getting rid
of all that.

Actually, I've gone
through, and...

I like all my things.

I don't want
to give them away.

Oh, Kyle, you don't
have to, but...

a lot of this stuff
has seen its best day.

Look at this t-shirt.

It's shrunk, it's stained,
it's faded.

I wore this
the first time Stephen
took me to work with him.

Well...this one's torn.

I ripped it playing
basketball with Josh.

Great game.

The first gift Lori
ever gave me.

Sentimental pack rat.
Great.

We're in trouble.

Look, this isn't
supposed to be torture.

Consider it a chance
to shed your old skin,

be someone new.

Dude, take a load off.

Let's throw this puppy
around for a few.

Let me grab the rest
of the boxes first.

The boxes aren't
going anywhere.

But I told Nicole that I--

The best part about
spring cleaning

is ditching out
on spring cleaning.

You can't do it, can ya?

You always have to do
the right thing.

And you always find a way
of putting fun before work.

Alphabetical order,
my encyclopedic friend.

But I will have you know,
I'm done with my room.

And I'm trashing this
with the rest of my stuff.

But first...

Bite marks.

Foam.
It's irresistible.

Come on.
Show me what you got.

Okay.

Keep going.

More.

Whoa!

[rapid heartbeat]

[car alarms beeping,
horns honking]

[chuckles]

You didn't tell me
you were coming.

No one knows.

I'm surprising my mom
for her birthday.

You're a good present.

How's New York?

Amazing.
Everything I imagined.

And the music program?

The teachers are
all so inspiring.

And the students there
are so talented.

Like you.

They've all had
incredible training.

It was intimidating
at first,

but I know
I'm in good company.

I'm learning about
composers I never knew--

Amanda's heart
was beating rapidly,

and she was speaking
really fast.

She seemed happy,
but I could sense that
she was troubled.

I'm already a better
technical player.

Amanda...

is everything all right?

I can never hide
anything from you.

But I need to let my mom
know I'm home.

Can we get together later?

Of course.

Good.

I guess we need to talk.

She said what?

"We need to talk."

What is it?

Nothing.

No, I missed something.

Well, when someone says,
"We need to talk,"

sometimes it's a lead in
to a discussion

about feelings
that have changed.

Feelings?

Prepare yourself, dude.
She's dumping you.

At least she has the decency
to do it in person.

Don't read into it.

Just wait and hear
what she has to say.

[scoffs]
No. Not my lucky shirt.

Josh, you've outgrown it.

I couldn't help but wonder...

Had Amanda already
outgrown me?

Okay, grab hold of the wire
and make these babies blink.

What?

You turned a block full
of headlights on.

This should be easy.

Are you serious?

You said I look
for ways to slack off.

This I take seriously.

You have to challenge that
brilliant mind of yours,

and someone has to fill in
for that Foss guy, right?

Well, that someone,
my friend, will be me.

Really?

Just-- [sighs]
make 'em blink.

Hey. Is it working?

Not really.

Thinking about Amanda drained
all the voltage out of him.

Oh. Yeah, I heard.

"We need to talk."

Sorry she left you hanging.

Typical woman.

Um, anyway...

I need to look for
my digital projector.

You giving that away, too?

No, I need it for a lecture
I'm giving at U.W.

You're giving a lecture?

I mean...you're
giving a lecture.

I've been asked to speak
at a symposium tomorrow.

Are you getting paid
for this thing?

Because you're supposed
to bring home the bacon, Dad,

and I eat a lot of bacon.

For your information, Josh,
I have already had a job offer.

This lecture is about
showing my expertise...

for free.

Well, I think your expertise
is worth more than that.

Thank you, Kyle.

I'll let you two
get back to work.

What's that?

Just an old magazine.

You done in your room?
Yep.

And now I need permission
to boycott an assignment.

Let me guess: math.

Nope. Me.

My guidance counselor
is making everyone

write a two-page essay
about who you really are.

I don't know the answer
to that yet.

I mean, how old were you
when you figured that out?

I'll let you know
when I get there.

Figuring out who you are

is a constantly
evolving process.

"Constantly evolving process."

That's three words.
I need more.

How about "sarcastic,"
"moody," and "cynical"?

I didn't ask you.
And I'm not a cynic.

I am totally
"glass is half full."

I just acknowledge that
the other half of the glass

is a desolate void
of disappointment,

misery, and regret.

Preparing ahead
makes me pragmatic.

Uh, speaking of
being prepared...

Homework? Done.

I know. You should
call Ripley's.

I need an opinion.

I can't decide which one.

What do you guys think,
plaid?

Definitely.

Thanks.

You and Amanda should
take a walk around the marina.

Sunsets are really pretty.

Maybe we will.

Dead man walking.

[knock on window]

Hi.
Hello.

Can I come in?

There's a front door.

I wanted to see you.
This is quicker.

What happened?

Oh, I-- I slipped
and hit my shoulder.

Jumping off another roof?

Kyle, I've learned
my lesson.

And I'm here to learn
another one.

You said I have to
work my way up

to do things like levitate,
so start teaching me.

I can't.

There's nobody around.

I have plans tonight
with Amanda.

Oh, Amanda.
She's home?

As a surprise.

You're anxious about it.

Your heart's beating
really fast, I can tell.

She told me,
"We need to talk."

So?

You don't think
that means anything?

Uh...it means she wants
to talk to you?

Isn't that a good thing?

That's what I thought.

So, uh, when can
we get started?

When Amanda goes back,
I'll have time.

Okay.

Well...good-bye.

Bye.

[knocks on door]

Ready?

Kyle, I can't go out.

But you said
we need to talk.

I'm sorry.
I can't see you.

[Mrs. Bloom]
Amanda? Inside!

This is all your fault.
What?

My daughter flying
clear across the country

to surprise me.

You're not happy
she's home?

I'd be happy if she hadn't
used my birthday

as an excuse to tell me
she wants to drop out.

Drop out of
the conservatory? Why?

As if you didn't know
you're the reason.

She didn't say
anything to me about it.

We haven't even
had a chance to talk.

You're not gonna
get that chance.

You will not see
or speak to Amanda

until she's back
where she belongs,
at that school.

[door slams]

I don't understand
why she won't let me
speak to Amanda.

Well, unfortunately,
Mrs. Bloom sees you
as a distraction.

I just want to know
what happened,

make sure she's okay.

Well, put yourself
in Mrs. Bloom's shoes.

What I mean is,
try to see things
from her perspective.

That music conservatory
sounds like a pretty
big opportunity,

one that Amanda
shouldn't miss.

I don't want her to miss it.

But Mrs. Bloom shouldn't
force her to go back.

Kyle, I'm afraid Mrs. Bloom
has every right to
send Amanda back

whether she wants
to go or not.

Just as she has the right
to ask you to stay away.

And the hard truth is...

it's really none
of our business.

You know what
Amanda means to me.

If she's struggling with,
or confused about something,

how could it be
none of my business?

I know you're bummed,
but look at the bright side.

Which, by the way,
is my new M.O.

At least Amanda wasn't
planning on dumping you.

How do you know that?

Mrs. Bloom blames you
for ruining her life.

It seems to me like
Amanda flying home

was a case of "girl
missing boy next door."

But we don't know that.

We don't know anything
Amanda's feeling.

No one's
letting her explain.

Even Mom and Dad.

I can't believe they're
siding with Mrs. Bloom.

I can't believe we're
siding with Carol Bloom.

She's uptight,
narrow-minded--

Yeah, and those
are her good qualities.

Well, like it or not,
we have to respect what
she wants for her daughter.

But Kyle has shown nothing
but love and concern
for Amanda.

And now we have to
keep them apart?

The funny thing is,
knowing Kyle,

he'd make the situation
a lot better

if he were just
allowed to talk to her.

You remember
being Kyle's age?

When something like this
takes over your whole life...

That's half the fun
of being in love.

Now we have to be
the buzz kills,
the grown-ups.

Well, if this is what
being a grown-up means--

It sucks. Why can't
Mom and Dad do something?

They can't cross the line
with Mrs. Bloom.

[Lori]
They're all about
crossing the line

when something's not fair.

Go throw Mom one of
your "puppy dog in
a thunderstorm" looks.

Get her to change her mind.

They made it clear.

I have to obey
Mrs. Bloom's request.

[sighs]

This isn't right.

I can't just stand back
and do nothing.

Kyle, do I detect defiance?

Genius joins the dark side.

I've got a list of rules
I've been dying
for you to break.

I don't want
to break any rules.

[sighs]

I won't have to.

I'll do exactly what
Mrs. Bloom asked me to do.

Atta boy, Kyle.
Take a stand.

Why are your feet
on my bed?

There were still ways
to contact Amanda

without seeing
or speaking to her.

♪ I miss ♪

♪ Feeling you there
by my side... ♪

[Kyle]
I could easily
circumvent Mrs. Bloom

without leaving
my own house.

♪ The things that
we used to do ♪

[typing]

But it seemed she could
find ways to thwart me
just as easily.

If electronic messages
weren't getting through,

there would be no way
for me to send a note
or a letter

without Mrs. Bloom
intercepting it.

I couldn't see
or speak to Amanda.

The written word
was no longer an option.

But there were still
a few notes I could
send her way.

I hoped this message
would get through,

and she would at least know
I was thinking about her.

[stops playing]

I was just trying--
I know what you were doing.

I think you better
come in now.

[knocking at door]

♪♪ [classical music
playing in headphones]

[music stops]

What? You want
my music now, too?

You've already confiscated
my phone and my computer.

I know this is hard
for you to understand--

That you're
keeping me prisoner?

You will leave this house

when you agree
to return to New York

to become the extraordinary
pianist you're meant to be.

Mom, I'm not
seven years old anymore.

You think I don't get
that this is a great
opportunity for me?

Then why would you
throw it away?

Because it's not
right for me now.

It's not what I want.

[sighs]

You don't know
what you want.

Dude...

the crispity, crunchity
goodness in that bowl
is long gone.

I'm not really hungry.

[growls]

My essay sucks.

Speaking of sucks--

What?
I meant Shakespeare.

Extra credit.
Impressive.

Impressive would be
figuring out what language
this was written in.

I thought Kyle might
be able to translate, but...

Well, what part are you at?

The part that says
it's about two families

and it's set
in "fair Verona."

[Lori]
That's the first two lines.

She lives exactly
38 feet 9 inches away,

and I can't even
tell her I'm sorry.

You could if she wasn't
locked in her own house.

Who else but Mrs. Bloom
actually changes

the alarm code
to keep someone in?

I just hope Amanda doesn't
feel as bad as I do.

Looks like we have
our own resident pair
of star-crossed lovers.

The balcony scene's her
favorite part of the play.

Of course, it didn't
end well for them.

So Romeo and Juliet
did everything in their
power to be together.

You guys know how this ends?

Why didn't you say so?

This all began
when Amanda said
we needed to talk.

That's exactly what
we're gonna do.

I can write my essay later.

Whatever it is, I'm in.

Wait a minute.

I'll do just about
anything but that.

If you wanna help,
you have to commit,
take this seriously.

Then let me drive
the getaway car instead.

Or I could create
a diversion or something.

Hey, you want in?
Accept the assignment.

[sighs]

Then I guess I'll see if I can
borrow one of Andy's.

What can I do to help?

Help what?

Help Kyle have
a night out with Amanda

like you've been
talking about.

How do you know what
we've been talking about?

You just sat down.

I listened in
while I was sitting

at that table over there.

I thought you had
the copyright on that move.

I can do anything
Kyle can do.

Could you make out
with Amanda?

'Cause that would be hot.

It's a common male fantasy
to watch two women make out.

Number six on popular
top-ten lists,

but it's not really backed
by statistical evidence.

That's all really fascinating
and everything, Kyle,

but I think what
she really needs to learn
is the meaning of privacy.

Bitchy, not cynical.
A total difference.

I was just trying to help.

Actually, I think there is
something you can do.

[doorbell rings]

Can I help you?

Hi. Is Amanda home?
I'm a friend.

I've seen you going in
and out of the Trager house.

You're Lori's trampy friend.

Oh, no, that's Hillary.

Well, whoever you are,

Amanda is not allowed
to have visitors.

Oh, but do tell Kyle,
"Nice try."

Hey! Dad!

Josh! Guess who was a hit
at the symposium?

I knew you'd be.

Yeah, I was a little nervous
when I got there,

but I look out and I see
a room full of computer
science geeks.

My peeps.

Sounds like...

really fulfilling
and fascinating stuff.

Say, uh, why don't
you take a load off,

and I'll put that
projector away for you.

Sure. Thanks.

That's our block?

On a map of the power grid.

There's our house..
and Amanda's.

And how does that help?

I need to know how
the neighborhood is wired.

This has high-voltage
cables, transformers,

utility lines,
breaker panels--

It's part of the plan.

[knock on door]

I'm back.

Jessi, please try
to use the--

Oh. Front door.
Right.

[chuckles]

How'd it go?

12154.

So, uh, I'll see you
at the Rack later?

Okay. Bye.

She was done, right?

I should probably
get going.

[gasps]

Um, didn't you just leave?

I wanted to talk to you,
and, um...

Kyle said that I should...
use the front door.

Okay.

Um...your parents

didn't press charges,
and they could have.

They understand that
what I did to you wasn't me.

And I'm really lucky
that they do.

Yeah, you are.

Kyle explained
everything to you.

I didn't want
to beat you up.

It was my programming.

Things...went wrong.

So, what, you caused
the most traumatic
experience of my life,

and now you're telling me
that it's not your fault?

I'm telling you
I'm sorry.

I'm not here to
ruin things anymore.

I'm here to help.

I'm trying.

Then I guess I can try, too.

Okay.

Hey. Want some help?

Dig in.

Hey, I thought you
got rid of this.

I got a little nostalgic
and rescued it

from the reject pile.

I got a little
nostalgic myself today.

Being back on campus again,

no office politics,
no corporate crap,

just this flow of ideas.

It was a real
give-and-take.

I forgot how satisfying
that can be.

It's been a long time
since you talked
about teaching.

Yeah, I know.

I was surprised
when the feeling hit me.

I was also surprised
when the head of the
computer science program

mentioned
an adjunct professorship.

Stephen, that's great.
Two job offers.

No, no, no, just the one.
I turned it down.

Why?

Well, you wanna get back
in the public sector,

and I already have
a fantastic job.

I mean,
it's a great salary.

I'd be the senior VP
in charge of software
development.

Yeah, at a company that makes
elevator control panels.

Well, it's not as exciting
as a career change, I admit,

but at least this time around,
I won't have an evil boss.

[sighs]

How'd it go?

Mission accomplished.

Excellent.

[Lori]
So far.

What you are planning here
is so out there,

there is no way
everything will go right.

Suzy Cynic.

Kyle, your plan is genius!

It's totally optimistic,

at least what
I understand of it.

Thank you.

So what's next?

Well, Jessi got
the alarm code,

and you got her
to pull down the shade,
so on to Phase Two.

Here you go.
Phase Two.

Now we just
wait for dark.

I have unwavering faith
and fully support
your exploits,

but how is that a plan?

You got
something better?

It's just that there's
a lot at stake for Kyle's sake,

and I don't want
anything to go wrong.

Any why would that happen?
Kyle's covered all the angles.

I'm sure he has.

Then why don't
you just relax?

Kyle's plan has to work,

otherwise he won't
get to Amanda

before she's gone for good.

[heart pounding]
[high-pitched whizzing]

I think Phase Two
has been activated.

Think about Amanda,
how much you want to see her,

to hold her...

to touch her.

Josh, eww.

What? He needs
an emotional trigger.

The other thing
I need is silence.

Good idea.
Lori, out!

What did I do?

This is man's work.

I so wanna make
a joke right now.

[door closes]

She could have stayed.

Yeah, but I'm about
to get all mushy,

and I didn't
want her to hear it.

Listen, Kyle,

I get how messed up
you are right now.

If anybody told me
I couldn't see Andy
ever again,

I'd be a mess, too.

But you've got
to pull it together.

You really think
I can do this?

Knowing how much
you care about Amanda?

Zero doubts.

Come on.

Deep breaths,
just take it slow,

one bulb at a time.

[rapid heartbeat]

[high-pitched whine]

By focusing,

I could control the flow
of electrons along the wire,

much like driving a car
along a narrow road.

In this case,

the road led into
the Trager house's
electrical system,

which in turn connected
to the neighborhood
transformer.

Through the transformer,
I was able to reach
Amanda's house

and gain access to
the house's electrical system.

Once inside, I could direct
the flow of electrons

through the wires
hidden in the walls.

I was able to find
my way to Amanda's room.

Finally, I got
my message through.

And finally, we would
have our chance to talk.

Phase Three.

You owe me...big.

Trager, you really embraced
your inner Hallmark card.

You've gone soft.

I know. You can cut
the irony with a spoon.

I just hope it's worth it.

What's that
supposed to mean?

Nothing.

All this for puppy love?

I mean, seriously,
what are the odds
that the person

you're gonna spend
the rest of your life with

is literally
the girl next door?

I mean, I don't want
to put a bad mojo on
the whole love vibe,

but I don't want
to set Kyle up

to get his heart chopped,
sliced, and diced.

[sighs]
God, that felt good.

Did you see where
I put the napkins?

Is there a garlic
convention in here?

Too much?
Never.

What's the occasion?

Take your pick.

I feel guilty about
discouraging Kyle.

I appreciate
the life we have

and that we have
such good kids.

Um...I'm incredibly hungry.

How about
all of the above?

Stephen.
Hmm?

You mentioned Amanda would
be missing an opportunity.

You ever feel that way?

What makes you think
I feel that way?

Spring cleaning.

Dragging the past
out of the closets,
seeing who we've become.

You still look great
in a bikini.

I wouldn't know.

I haven't worn one
since Josh was born.

Remember how I was
supposed to be the cool mom

who published
thought-provoking articles

and had a career?

All I've accomplished
this weekend

is five loads of laundry.

Not to mention an insanely
aromatic marinara sauce.

Yes, there was a time
when I wanted to teach,

but I don't feel like
I'm really missing anything,

'cause I never
went down that path.

But you had to go
the corporate route
to support our family.

Which I wouldn't trade
for anything in the world.

Why don't you go
gather the troops.

All right.
I'm on it.

Hey.
Is she coming?

I hope so.
She got my message.

I know now is not
the best time to ask,

but can we add that
electrical trick
to the list?

I really want
to learn that, too.

After Amanda goes back
to New York,

when you have more time.

I promise
I'll make time.

But I have to make time
for Amanda, too.

She might be staying.

Oh, she's staying?

She doesn't want to go back.

You're surprised.

No, it's--
it's good news for you.

Do you know why?

Not yet, but now I have
a chance to find out.

Thank you...
for your help.

[knock on door]

Your dinner
is getting cold.

I know you're not very
happy with me right now,

but I am only looking out
for your best interests.

I made that noodle casserole
you like so much.

Oh, Amanda.

[door closes]

[exhales]

Hey, hon?

Where the hell are they?

This could be the biggest
move you bust all night,

so we just wanna make sure
you have it down.

Meet her at the door.

Compliment her.
Walk her over to the table.

Offer her a seat.

Yes. Care to demonstrate?

Would you like a seat?

No. No, no.

You have to pull
the chair out for her.

Oh.

And then just slip it
underneath her as she sits.

Not too fast or you'll
take her out at the knees.

Right.
Not too fast.

Why am I even worried?
You'll be fine.

Does it look okay?

Perfect.

I love this.

The lights,
the table, everything.

And the window in my room.

How'd you even
get the idea for that?

Romeo and Juliet.

Act 2, scene 2, line 2.

[Amanda]
The balcony scene.
That's--

[Kyle]
Your favorite scene
in the play.

I like that
you pay attention

to weird little
details like that.

You do?

[laughs]
You're blushing.

I am?

I shouldn't have said that.

I totally embarrassed you.

No. Amanda...

you can always say
whatever you want with me.

Glazed Cornish game hens

on a bed of sautéed greens,

sweet-potato soufflé
and asparagus,

with shaved Romano
and pancetta.

I don't think this
is what we ordered.

Right. 'Cause nothing
says romance

like a smoked turkey wrap.

I took some liberties
with the menu.

You made this?

No one knows I'm secretly
a fan of Top Chef.

And no one ever will.

Bon appétit.

Stop staring.

I can't. I'm O.D'ing
on suspense.

I wonder how it's going.

You wanna know
if it's going badly.

What you witnessed earlier

was a completely
uncharacteristic outburst.

No, it's how you really feel.

[sighs]

It was just a mini meltdown

brought on by some
stupid homework assignment.

The "Who You Really Are" essay?

No one ever
takes that seriously.

Well, almost no one.

It was recently
brought to my attention

that I am always the girl
with the wry commentary

and the patented eye roll.

Honest question.

Do you think I'm a cynic?

Honest answer?
Absolutely.

You're Miss Possible
But Not Likely.

About my own life?
Of course.

But watching those two,

who am I to say they're
not meant for each other?

I mean, look at them.

Have you ever seen
two people

look at each other
like Kyle and Amanda?

Not in a while.

♪ Like nothing
you've ever seen... ♪

[no audible dialogue]

Amanda, you said
we need to talk.

Right.

You didn't think I meant--

Maybe a little.

After a few people
weighed in.

The one time you didn't
take my words literally.

Did you really think
my feelings had changed?

Is that why you
brought me here?

I brought you here
'cause everyone else

was making assumptions
about what you wanted,

and how you were feeling
and what was right for you.

But no one was
actually asking you.

That's why my feelings
for you could never change.

♪ I've never known
a love so true ♪

♪ I wanna see all of you ♪

Didn't know the lights
out here twinkled.

Only for you.

You have no idea how
disappointed I am right now!

Mom--
Save your excuses!

Your flight leaves
in less than two hours.

My flight--
You heard me.

But you haven't heard her.

You have nothing
to say in the matter!

But I do!

Don't you even care?

I'm not happy
at the conservatory.

Of course I care!

But I also care
about scholarships,
opportunities.

I care about your future.

If you really cared
about my future,

you would not have sold
my piano in the first place!

Mom, I'm sorry.
I didn't--

Get in the car, now.

I have to go.

I understand.

I hope you're satisfied.

It took all my will power
not to trip her.

Thank you for
letting me know
Amanda was here.

Glad I could help.

[door closes]

[Stephen]
Welcome home.

I'd ask you what
you were thinking,

but I don't think
you were thinking at all.

Actually, this took
a great deal of planning.

Not helping.

The Blooms' situation
was private.

We made it very clear
you were not to see Amanda.

You were not
to get involved.

I know I broke a rule,

but I'm not sorry I did.

I had to do it,
for Amanda.

Good intentions aside,
you're still grounded.

All of you.
Two weeks.

What?
School, work, home.

Everything else is off-limits.

And I'll take
your cell phones.

This was my idea.

Lori and Josh
shouldn't be punished.

They were just helping.

Exactly.

What if Foss--

If anyone important calls,
I'll have it with me.

Do I get one last call?

No.

But you do get to go
to your rooms.

Now.

Grounding Kyle.
Who would have expected it?

And he was the ringleader.

When did that start happening?

Be honest.

You're kinda glad
they did it, aren't you?

Well?
Aren't you?

Some rules are meant
to be broken.

About that.

I think we should
break some rules, too.

Stephen, I don't want us
to sail into

a complacent,
suburban existence

without fighting
the good fight.

I want you to pursue
that opportunity at U.W.

Nicole, that's not an option.

Well, then we need
to make it one.

You can't get the chance
to pursue an old dream
and just pass on it.

We have mouths to feed.

We'll keep them fed.

We'll make it work.

We always do.

Spring cleaning
isn't just about

sorting through things
and getting rid of clutter.

It's about taking stock
of who you are

and how others see you.

It's a chance
to redefine yourself,

to change expectations.

And to remember
that it's never too late

to recapture who you were.

Or to aim for
who you want to be.

Take a seat.

Where have you been?

I was just out
looking at the stars.

You were stargazing...
every night this week.

How about the truth now.

I've been sneaking out.

Obviously.

Why?

To try things.

Such as?

Um...

I've been testing myself.

Getting stronger and faster.

I know I shouldn't
let people see me,

and that's why
I do it at night.

I-- I don't know
what to say.

I expected that
it would take you longer

to get comfortable
living here before
we were ready.

We?

I have big plans
for you, Jessi.

And I need you to be
as strong and as smart
as you can possibly be.

How do we start?

Well, first thing's first.

You need to get
some sleep.

We'll talk about it
further in the morning.

Okay.

[door closes]

[typing]

[knock on window]

[knocking]

Amanda.

What happened?
Did your mother
change her mind?

No. I didn't
get on the plane.

Can you hide me?

Come in.
