[edit] Synopsis

Kyle has his first dream, in which he is underwater in a pool with Amanda swimming towards him. Suddenly, she vanishes, and Kyle wakes up wondering whether the dream was something he had previously experienced or a vision of future events. The next morning, Detective Jason Breen questions Kyle on why he drew the key card insignia in pieces across his drawings, but Kyle still doesn't remember. Later, Lori, Josh and Kyle go to the pool while Nicole and Stephen try to enroll Kyle into high school. Meanwhile, the audience sees the mysterious man who had appeared in the red truck being fired from a company to which he had dedicated ten years of service. The man's name is Thomas Foss, and the symbol on his key card matches the one Kyle drew. It is also mentioned that a college professor named William Kern has been missing for some time.

At the swimming pool, Kyle learns that Amanda is a lifeguard. Lori meets with her friend Hillary, and later, Josh attempts to persuade his sister to get the name and phone number of a girl he saw at the pool. While they argue, Kyle jumps off the diving board and sinks. Amanda dives in to rescue him, and Kyle gets an erection from the close contact. Once Amanda and Kyle are out of the water, people crowd around them and start laughing, which embarrasses Kyle. Back home, Stephen explains what happened to Kyle.

Declan drops by the Tragers' house to ask Lori out to Jeff Preston's party that Friday. While Josh gives Kyle a pornographic magazine as a way to "handle the problem," Amanda appears at the front door to visit Kyle. She enters his empty room and notices many drawings of herself on his desk. When she turns around, she sees Kyle with Josh's magazine and quickly leaves in a flustered manner, much to Kyle's confusion. Later, Josh gets Kyle signed up for swimming lessons to give several more hours of free time during the day to Lori, who in turn acquires the information that Josh wanted from the girl, Ashleigh Redmond. He attempts to call her but hangs up from nervousness.

Kyle receives lessons from Amanda and learns very quickly. She explains how she was never angry with Kyle over his drawings, and he tells her how he draws things as he sees them in his mind, but he couldn't seem to get Amanda right. She asks him to visit her house the next afternoon so she could show him something. Back at the house, Nicole informs Stephen that Detective Breen hasn't found any known corporation with the insignia or been able to decrypt the computerized strip on the keycard. She also shows reluctance on sending Kyle to high school.

Tom Foss goes home to his apartment to find the man who fired him from the company sitting in an armchair, waiting for his arrival. He tells Foss that when he ran the keycard he returned through the system to deactivate it, it didn't match his assignment but did match Prof. Kern's clearance. He has also discovered the files on Kyle that Foss stole from the juvenile detention hall. Later, during a second visit, Foss breaks the man's neck as soon as his back is turned.

At Amanda's house, Kyle learns the concept of drawing how he feels, not just what he sees. Her father had been an artist, and she tells Kyle that he died last year. Back in his room, Kyle uses both crayons and watercolors to convey how he feels into a drawing of Amanda. Josh calls Ashleigh again, and they agree to meet at Preston's party. Meanwhile, Lori slips a condom into her purse to take to the party later that night. Josh persuades Kyle to go with them to Preston's party as well by promising him that Amanda will be there; Kyle plans to give her the drawing.

At the party, Ashleigh and Josh go skinny dipping in an outside hot tub before they're forced out by chaperons. Lori leads Declan behind the shrubs outside and loses her virginity there as Hillary, who has had a crush on Kyle, throws herself on him in a drunken state. Lori comes back to force her friend off of Kyle, and out of spite, Hillary reveals that she had told Declan to ask her out and mocks her for being "so easy." Later, however, Declan defends Lori when one of his friends comments on her. When Amanda finally shows up, Kyle realizes that he loves her. But as he's about to hand her the drawing, her boyfriend Charlie shows up and gives her a kiss. Visibly hurt by this, Kyle leaves the scene and drops his drawing in a nearby pool. He had depicted Amanda swimming in the water.
