Summing Up
It had been three weeks since Kyle had fought Cassidy in the Trager home, three weeks and everything had changed.
Amanda and Jessi had been questioned by the police after Nate's attack, luckily Foss had managed to get Nate to drop the charges but the damage had been done. Amanda's mother had shipped her off to New York in the hopes that a musical career would steer her clear of any future misdemeanours.
Kyle was sad to see Amanda leave but his inner turmoil over Cassidy and his mother Grace Kingsley prevented him from really grieving from her absence.
The Tragers had returned from the Rack to find Kyle choking Cassidy, Jessi was standing beside him pleading for him to stop. Nicole had eventually managed to control Kyle and Stephen had called the police to report an intruder in their home.
Cassidy was arrested for breaking and entering and Jessi couldn't prevent a smile as she saw him being taken away by the police. Unfortunately he had a good lawyer and was released a few days later without any charges.
Since then Kyle had discovered that Latnok had numerous copies of the formula and that the experiment to create clones of Kyle had gone ahead. The location had been moved and Kyle and Jessi had spent a considerable amount of time trying to locate the new site with little success.
Lori had gone away to college in San Francisco, to study music and to be with Mark who had left Seattle disheartened by Latnok's true allegiance to science. Mark had needed to get away feeling used by Cassidy and when Lori was accepted at college Mark just went along.
After the initial excitement had passed Josh went back to school after the long and eventful summer, back to his studies and his long distance relationship with Andy.
Nicole and Stephen were left shocked by the break in but even more by Kyle's lapse in control. The fact the Kyle had come so close to taking a life had deeply concerned them. Kyle had been corrupted by the world his innocence lost.
Jessi was still bitter by the choices she had made that night, stunned that she had tried to stop Kyle from killing Cassidy. Cassidy the man she hated, the man who had taken away her mother had been protected by her, Jessi.
She saved him simply because of one person, she couldn't have done it for anyone else but Kyle. To see him so full of hatred had almost broken her heart he whom she placed on such a high pedestal. No Kyle would not kill for her or anyone, Jessi knew the consequences of those actions and she didn't want that for Kyle.
With the summer at a close Kyle and Jessi had both been accepted at the University of Washington. Kyle wanted to go because Adam had attended the same college and Jessi had followed because of Kyle and for her mother.
