In the season 2 episode "Red Rock Jarod," Jarod meets a young boy in Dry River, Arizona named J.R. Miller. The boy is in need of a heart transplant, but his condition is more difficult to fix since he has the same rare blood type that Kyle and Jarod have. Events lead to Jarod being imprisoned by an enemy but then Kyle arrives and frees him. It is revealed that Kyle survived the FBI attack and caused the explosion himself to cover his escape. For some time, Kyle has been stalking Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots so they could lead him back to Jarod. Kyle is determined to have vengeance on the Centre, killing all its members if necessary. Jarod argues that they don't need to succumb to vengeance and violence.
