Josh Trager
Josh Trager is a fictional character from the ABC Family series Kyle XY and is portrayed by Jean-Luc Bilodeau.
Season 1
Josh and his sister, Lori are very skeptical AbOUT Kyle coming to live with them. They immediately protest, but Stephen insists that if their mother, Nicole wants Kyle coming he is coming. When Josh returns from summer school, he goes to the bathroom to look at a pornographic magazine. However, an afraid Kyle is in the bathtub while Josh is there. When Josh catches sight of Kyle, he runs out of the bathroom and throws his magazine. Nicole grabs it and punishes Josh by taking it away. She also informs him that Kyle will be staying in his room. At dinner that night, Kyle speaks for the first time (Yo! Let's get some juice down here!) which prompts much excitement from Josh. While attempting to sleep, Josh confides to Kyle how much he misses Charlotte, the [...] model from his magazine. The following day, Josh accompanies Kyle and Nicole to her office where they test Kyle's IQ. Josh tells Nicole that her hour long test only took Kyle five minutes and he got all the answers correct. They then take Kyle to get an MRI. The results are amazing, 80% brain activity, but the radiologists believe that it is just machine failure. Josh does not agree. The next day, Josh enters his room to find his magazine back on his bed. He goes to find Kyle to ask him if he did this. Kyle states that he did. Josh realizes he has found a brother figure and begins to play basketball with Kyle. The next week, the entire Trager family is awoken by Kyle who raided the refrigerator for food. Kyle also had turned on a Kung Fu movie and memorized a line in Chinese ("The time has come to fight the dragon!"). Josh is amazed by this, but Kyle explains that he hadn't slept the entire time that he had lived with the Tragers. Whilst Kyle is living with the Tragers, Josh keeps a record of all the unusual, or somewhat supernatural, behaviour which Kyle displays in a small notebook which he takes out on several occasions through the first season, thus concluding that he believes Kyle is an alien, Kyle dismisses Josh's theories and continues to ignore them until Kyle shouts at Josh asking him how he thinks he feels that Josh thinks he is an alien.
Season 2
Josh has stopped his boyish ways from season 1, and starts maturing a little. He gets a car (courtesy of Kyle) and meets a girl- Andy Jensen. They start off as perfect friends, and he starts falling for her. In episode 2.7 Andy kisses him on the cheek after he admits gay people are cool. In the commercial for episode 2.9, Ghost in the machine, Josh tells Kyle he likes Andy. When everyone goes underground, he and Andy remain alone and he attempts to flirt with her. She is strangly sharp and a little bitter. When they're alone in the car together Josh tells Andy about his crush on her at the same time she tells him her secret- She has cancer. In episode 2.10, House of Cards, Andy tell Josh he can't even talk to her about the cancer (he was saying that popsicles help with chemo). He goes to his mom for advice and she says to just be there for Andy. At the end of the episode, she tells him she needs lots of chemo. He runs off and she looks ready to cry. Then he comes back with popsicles. Then they start playing G-Force together.
In Episode 2.11, Hands on a Hybrid, Josh tries to win a car. We later find out hes trying to win it for Andy. Andy finds out that Josh cheated his way into the contest, and reveals she has cancer in front of everyone. Josh, upset, drops out of the contest and runs after her. Later, Andy revealed that she has a shirt that says cancer girl On It. She also got a shirt for Josh that says "I'm with cancer girl". Josh kisses Andy on the cheek. Andy says "Umm, that's not how you do it," and kisses him.
In Episode 2.12, Lockdown, Andy tells Josh that it'll be their last day together because she will start chemo tomorrow. Josh is upset over this. In the end Andy says they can continue to see each other.
