The Tragers father "Steven"

 Kyle is taken in to the Tragers house hold, and so many questions pop into his mind all at once. Why are people not communicating efficiently, why are people so hostel to other people without knowing them? As the season goes on, Kyle is confused on how humans work and why they act certain ways. After a while Kyle learns to talk and begins to understand simple human interactions. Nicole makes him take a math test to see what he knows, the test should take about one hour to finish. Kyle takes the test with super-fast speed and finishes the test in five minutes and gets all of the questions right! Josh thinks this is so impossible, that he suspects Kyle to be an alien. Kyle is so strange to what Josh knows that a way to justify Kyle's actions is to say that he is not human at all. Josh than makes a log of all the things that Kyle does that makes him seem like he is an alien. In the third episode, Kyle comes across the human interaction of falsely giving information known as lying. When the next door neighbor crashes her car and puts a dent into it she becomes stressed and flustered. This confuses Kyle because if it was an accident why would be become mad at the dent? She responds that it was a new car and that her mom bought it for her and that she will be upset when she sees the dent. Confused Kyle still doesn't understand why she would be upset if it was an accident. She responds that she didn't really know and she might tell her mom that someone else hit the car. Later that night Kyle is still confused why she wouldn't just tell the truth and sees how stressed she is. So Kyle goes over there and tells her mom that he did it, he felt weird to lie and wonders what makes people do it. Kyle later has a talk with the dad, Stephen, about lying and why people do it and when it is acceptable. "Lying is not the way. I told you tell the truth, no matter what." said Stephen. Kyle then says "Telling the truth can hurt." then Stephen said "but you still shouldn't lie just to protect people. Then Kyle asked the question that had Stephen thinking of what to say. Kyle asks "But allowing people to be hurt, it that alright?" Kyle is stuck in a dilemma thinking what is more justified, to tell the truth or to allow some to become hurt from it. Stephen was speechless and had nothing else to say because he was also perplexed by Kyle's question. This whole situation leaves Kyle wondering and thinking of more questions about the complex nature of human life.
