Kish: Baby Drama

We picked up right where we left off yesterday, with Rex asking Fish to protect Stacy and the baby while across town Kyle overheard Schuyler saying that the unborn child was his, not Rex's.

Fish asked Rex if he was sure that Stacy was telling the truth about Mitch coming after her, given her track record with honesty. Rex assured him that it was true, but Oliver turned down the job, saying that he barely got to spend any time with Kyle as it was between his job and Kyle's med school schedule.

Fish said that he'd ask around the station and see if any of the other guys were interested, but Rex laid on the guilt, pointing out that with the new police commissioner being in Mitch's pocket, Rex couldn't trust just any cop. He needed Fish, whom he knew was trusted completely by John and Bo.

In the end Oliver agreed to help out, which was inevitable since he's too nice of a guy to say no to helping someone in need, especially once Rex played the 'You're our only hope' card.

At the hospital, Stacy demanded to know what exactly Kyle had heard and he admitted to knowing that Schuyler was the father of her child, not Rex. Schuyler rather pathetically tried to come up with a believable cover for that statement being just metaphoric, but Kyle told him he was a terrible liar and suggested he take some lessons from Stacy.

Kyle called them out on what they were doing to Rex and on Schuyler not 'Man-ing up' and taking responsibility for his child, and told them that Rex's mother was a good friend of his.

Stacy warned Kyle to keep quiet and not mess everything up for her, first by throwing his own shady past in his face and reminding him that he had no moral high ground to stand on, and then by saying that doctor patient confidentiality prevented him from telling anyone.

Schuyler, Kyle's fellow med student, picked up on that latter point and reminded Kyle that he'd already been kicked out of med school once and was on shaky ground if he breached patient confidentiality. Kyle wondered aloud what had happened to Schuyler, who had once seemed like such a stand up guy. Yeah, I've been wondering that myself, Kyle. On a shallow note, it was hot seeing Kyle get all up in Schyler's face like that!

Kyle told them both that he wouldn't say anything and stormed off, but Stacy still didn't trust him, especially since she'd gotten him into so much trouble over the past year and felt like he might want to use this information for revenge.

Schuyler went after Kyle and apologized for coming on so strong. He told Kyle that he hadn't slept with Stacy willingly and when Mr. Lewis scoffed at this, Schuyler filled him in on Stacy drugging him and on her desperation to get pregnant again after losing Rex's baby.

The pieces fell into place for Kyle, who told Schuyler that Stacy had tried to seduce him, too, and at least he now knew why. It was a good thing, Kyle said, that he was gay and had turned her down flat.

Kyle still didn't understand why Schuyler was going along with the lie, but agreed not to say anything because for once, he was happy with his own life and it was none of his business what Stacy or anyone else did. Right after Schuyler walked away, Rex went by Kyle in the hallway and I thought I detected a flash of guilt on Kyle's face. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out the next time he's with Roxy.

Oliver called Kyle to ask to see him after work, saying that he had something he needed to run by him. Kyle was at Oliver's door in no time and they kissed as if they hadn't seen each other in days instead of since that very morning. Oliver told Kyle that he wanted to apologize in advance and then explained that he was going to be very busy over the next month, since he was moonlighting for Rex to keep the baby safe from Mitch Laurence.

Oliver noticed the strange look on Kyle's face and asked him what was wrong, and that's where we left things for today.

I hope Kyle doesn't keep quiet for too long. Does doctor/patient confidentiality really apply when the person is not your patient and you're not actually a doctor yet?

On another note, I thought that Markko's over the top jealousy today after he walked in and saw Langston sitting innocently next to a shirtless Ford on the sofa was the perfect contrast to the scene with Kyle, Oliver, and Ford yesterday! It really highlighted the maturity of Oliver and Kyle's relationship, as opposed to the insecurity on the part of Markko, who after all is a college freshman in his first serious relationship. The contrast between the two scenes was very well done.
