Kyle XY Grows Up — But Why Is He Sad?

When Kyle touched Jessi, sparks flew — literally. The moment the Kyle XY (Mondays, 8 pm/ET, ABC Family) costars embraced for a scene in an upcoming episode, real-life thunderbolts crashed and lightning flashed so fiercely that crew members on the Vancouver rooftop fled "like little girls," according to star Matt Dallas. "It would have been amazing if we had been able to shoot that."

In the first season of ABC Family's Kyle XY, the question was, "Who is Kyle?" When the second season debuts on June 11, we find out — but the answer only deepens the show's mystery. Viewers may be befuddled, but producers promise they're not jerking us around. "We wanted to make sure we didn't dangle unanswerable questions for too long," says writer and producer Julie Plec. "Everything's been leading up to [what] we learn in the first episode of the second season, and explaining precisely who Kyle XY is and where he came from." Last summer we met Kyle (Matt Dallas), the weird, wide-eyed teen who awoke in the forest buck naked and covered in pink goo, with no memory and no navel.
