[edit] Before Season 1

Stephen lost his virginity to Ashley Gerad when he wasn't much older than Stephen Trager Jr. He told Nicole about it during their honeymoon after drinking ten shots of tequila.

Stephen and his father William never saw eye-to-eye so Stephen refused to marry Nicole at St. Augustine. Stephen wrote William a letter in hopes that he would still want to be a part of the family, but refused.

[edit] Season 1

Stephen stood by his wife Nicole when he found out that she was going to bring Kyle back from the detention center. He later came to side with Stephen Trager Jr and Rachael Trager after Nicole refused to return him to Camp Copevete. Stephen was in his workshop working on a computer for a friend named Tim and spilled his coffee on it. Stephen agreed to let Kyle stay after he remembered the binary code and brought the files back on another computer.

After finding out that Kyle hadn't sleep in the entire week that he had been living with the Tragers, he decided to take Kyle jogging with him to tire him out. The jogging didn't work. Kyle was apparently immune to fatigue. Stephen suggested to sedate him at the hospital, but was relieved to see that he slept soundly in the bathtub.

Later, Stephen compared Kyle to Rip Van Winkle upon seeing he wouldn't wake up. Stephen later decided to get another bathtub and move it to his workshop, which worked as Kyle's room. Meanwhile, Stephen took Kyle to his job, where he insisted on telling the employees about being let go. Eventually his boss Brad let him.

[edit] Season 2

Stephen and Nicole took a mini-vacation to San Francisco, where Stephen Trager Jr and Rachael Trager threw a party in their absence. They returned and were delighted to see Kyle back in their home.

Stephen and Nicole spoke with Brian Taylor who was masquerading as the Peterson's lawyer. He told them that they dies in a car accident earlier that week. Stephen tried to help Kyle through the ordeal.

Stephen was dismayed when he got a call from his company. LWK Software was bought out by a big conglomerate and he was now out of a job. He tried to keep it hidden from his family, but it was too hard. He felt bad that he couldn't buy Josh a new car, but managed to get him a junker.

Stephen continued to look for a job and finally found one: Madacorp. He shook hands with Ballantine and promised to be a great employee. He later met Emily Hollander, and told her that her patient Jessi's sister worked at Madacorp.

Later, the family received a call from Dr. Kheel. Stephen's father William had a stroke and was going to die. Through Kyle, William managed to pass mental messages and Stephen finally managed to figure out that William was apologizing for not being part of his family. Stephen thanked Kyle.

Later, Stephen, along with Ballantine, gave Kyle a tour of Madacorp unknowingly giving him the floor plan with which to later infiltrate to steal Ballantine's ring. Meanwhile, Lori suspected Stephen of having an affair with Emily Hollander, but Stephen assured her that nothing was going on.

Stephen was called into to work to test the CIR on Tom Foss while he was at a Cancer Charity event. He called Nicole to ask her how long it took to get a test group and also told her that Emily was working there as well. Nicole was disappointed.

Later, Stephen was purposely being kept away from CIR by Emily so he would see Tom Foss strapped to it. He promised to go home and forget about it, but he snuck inside later anyways. While inside, he overheard a conversation between Tom Foss and Brian Taylor about Zzyzx, Adam Baylin, and Foss' past before Foss began to strangle Brian. Stephen went home immediately and told Nicole he knew something important about Kyle just as she said the same thing.

After learning everything about Kyle from him and Tom Foss, he and Kyle concocted a plan to destroy all of Madacorp's software. He would connect CIR to the rest of the building manually, as CIR was separate from the rest of the building. Unfortunately, Emily Hollander spotted him and had him moved to a holding room. When the combined power of Kyle and Jessi's power created an energy surge, it broke the glass in the holding room and Stephen was able to fishing connecting the cable, causing a citywide blackout that led right back to Madacorp and Ballantine's illegal activity.

Stephen cleared out his desk at Madacorp despite an offer from Emily Hollander for a pay raise. He was offered another company job, but Nicole pressured him to take a teaching job at the University of Washington since Stephen had always dreamed of being a teacher.
