Tonight's episode of Kyle XY will focus on Kyle (Matt Dallas) and Jessi's (Jaimie Alexander) quest to find the truth about their origins and why they were created.
Entitled “Leap of Faith,” the episode, which serves as the midseason finale, reveals more about how deeply Kyle and Jessi are connected. By making the decision to help Jessi, Kyle puts his and the Tragers safety on the line, all the while still unsure if his hunch about Jessi is true. Jessi, on the other hand, is faced with the decision to do what is right, especially now that she knows the truth about where she came from and what she was programmed to do.

It's been three years since Jean-Luc Bilodeau made his acting debut on the film, Ill Fated, and he is now gaining momentum with his starring role on ABC Family's Kyle XY. After going through three auditions for the sci-fi series, the 16-year-old actor was given the part of Josh Trager, a character which he says has evolved with him over time.
“I just played it the way I felt was right. I think the writers took it to different places and I kind of just grew up with Josh and Josh has evolved with me,” Bilodeau told Slice of SciFi. “It was pretty easy, the transition, so it's been pretty good.”

"What I will tell you about Babysitter Wanted, however, is that it most likely will not go where you think it's going, it's smart and has some great performances,” the website states. “The dad, played by Bruce Thomas, especially does a great job with the role he's given which at first doesn't seem like much but you'll soon realize is a lot meatier than expected."
