## History

### Season 3

Instead of going to his grandmother's for Christmas, Kyle started working on Shadowërk before he got picked up by Angie. Kyle tells Angie that he's working on top-secret government work. Angie tells Kyle that her boyfriend's family was racist so she also didn't go out for Christmas. Kyle asks Angie to celebrate Christmas with him. Kyle and Angie then go to a diner where he tells her that he doesn't have any friends because people in his town are too normal and no one will care when they die. Kyle then pays for lunch and says he has to go home to work on something that would change the world. At home, Kyle leaves a note for his mom before hanging himself but then changes his mind when his computer beeps with the first job on Shadowërk.

Six months later, when Benson and Stabler question Linda, she claims not to know anything about Kyle. Velasco and Reyes then break into Kyle's home where they find a display of nativity dolls and a suicide note dated before Christmas. However, Kyle is nowhere to be found. While Benson and Stabler eat lunch at a diner with Avital and McCrary, Kyle gasses up a bunch of FBI agents in a car before Tracy goes in to shoot up the diner where he ends up shooting Benson. Benson and Stabler then both shoot Tracy together. At the precinct, Fin and Bell question Linda about Kyle's whereabouts before Rollins shows Linda the suicide note. After reading the note, Linda agrees to help them find Kyle.

The squad then goes to an isolated area where Kyle is hiding. Rollins tells the squad that Kyle would rather die than have the site shut down. Rollins and Fin split up where they find Kyle's laptop in an abandoned camp building as well as several crime scene selfies taken by Kyle. Whelan and Reyes then split up where Kyle is spotted. Kyle then shoots Whelan in the neck and runs away before Reyes shoots him. Kyle then also drops his knife before the cops close in on him. Kyle then takes out a sword and attempts to kill himself. Bell attempts to talk Kyle out of suicide before Kyle tells her that Shadowërk will live on after he dies. Kyle then stabs himself with the sword. Reyes then calls for a medic to help Whelan but Whelan tells the medic to help Kyle. Reyes then takes over and helps Whelan.

Kyle then gets taken to a prison hospital in New York where he gets questioned by Stabler and Bell. Kyle refuses to take down the site and then passes out. After McGrath orders Carisi to arraign Kyle, Kyle's lawyer wants to go for the insanity defense and Kyle claims that he wanted people to see the truth about themselves. Kyle refuses to shut down his site and claims that it is not his fault that people are being hurt. Kyle's lawyer than asks to speak to him alone before Kyle yells at his lawyer to shut up. The cops and Carisi offer Linda freedom if Kyle agrees to shut down the site. Carisi tells Kyle that his mother has insane amount of loyalty for him and Kyle tells Carisi that he loves his mother. Kyle then becomes cooperative and Carisi tells Kyle that he will do life and shut down the site or he gets the death penalty. Kyle tells Carisi that he doesn't care if he lives or dies. Kyle then gets forced to delete the site and McGrath watches as Kyle is wheeled out of the precinct in cuffs. (OC: "With Many Names")
