Kyle was the most objectionable character in the first series. He used to date Liz and was pretty unpleasant. She dumped him and broke his heart.
Luckily, he comes back from his summer vacation as a Buddhist, with a new sense of peace and karma. A lot of this is to do with Max saving his life - so he now has confusing feelings about the aliens.
He lives with his father, Sheriff Jim Valenti, but events soon force him to share his house with Tess. They get on like cats in a sack.
Most likely to say: "In with hate, out with love."
