Betty asks what Kyle's angle is and he tells her he just wants to find out what's happening in Lawrence, Kansas before handing her case files on John, Mary, Carlos, and Latika. It's then revealed that Kyle is acting under Akrida mind control to get at the hunters.
1.10 Suspicious Minds
Kyle meets with a group of other Akrida puppets, showing them a picture of Dean Winchester staring through a fence near the Impala. Kyle informs the others that the Akrida Queen thinks that the Monster Club might be useful in leading them to Dean. The queen believes that Dean is a hunter himself and by all accounts of the Akrida spies in the field, he's the reason that the Monster Club got together. The group knows that Dean needs to be eliminated, but they don't know his identity. Kyle suggests a plan involving spilling some human blood.
Later, John finds Kyle in Winchesters Garage where Kyle accuses John of stalking him over Mary. John quickly deduces that Kyle is being controlled by the Akrida and Kyle reveals that he's called the police and left a false trail to frame John for murder.

John's friends and Betty later break him out of jail and John goes on the run with Mary while Millie and Betty search for evidence to clear him of Kyle's murder.
