Character History

Genesis

Lyle sits at the table eating with Claire and his mother. He remarks that he and a friend named Doug saw a homeless Mexican guy on their way to school and that they thought he was dead but he wasn't. He also sarcastically comments on Mr. Muggles humping his leg and that he isn't looking forward to his father seeing his report card.

When Claire reveals that she walked through fire and didn't get burned he responds in a hostile manner by saying "God, you're so crazy sometimes."

Collision

After Claire has a conversation with their father Lyle sees Claire in a distraught state and tells her that their mother has told him to tell Claire that the waffles are ready.

Nothing to Hide

While Lyle takes a piece of pizza in the Bennet kitchen he comes upon the videotape that Zach brought back to Claire. Later Claire catches Lyle watching it and tries to convince him that it was just special effects. Lyle doesn't believe her, staples her hand and watches in horror as her healing powers are manifested. He locks himself into the Bennet SUV and comments that he is going to upload the videotape onto YouTube to make a million dollars. He calls his sister a "freak" and an "alien" and threatens to tell their parents about her. After a heartfelt plea from his sister he gives the tape back to her and gets out of the car. His sister gives him a hug but he doesn't hug her back.
