Episode 6 of Season 1 of "Untamed" kicks off with Shane relentlessly pursuing a wounded Kyle through the dense woods. As Kyle stumbles onward, he desperately attempts to stem the flow of blood from his injuries. Meanwhile, back at his abode, Naya pays him a visit, her calls met only with the mechanical greeting of voicemail.
Does Shane succeed in his grim quest to eliminate Kyle? Their cat-and-mouse chase stretches on for an eternity, with Kyle's strength waning by the hour. As dusk descends, his loss of blood becomes too great to ignore. Shane finally corners him, a killing blow mere inches away. Fortunately, Naya arrives at the eleventh hour, intervention that saves Kyle's life and terminates Shane's threats.
Kyle is promptly rushed to the hospital, where skilled hands mend his battered form and he makes a miraculous recovery. He expresses heartfelt gratitude to Naya for her heroic actions, while she, in turn, thanks him for enlightening her about the wonders and dangers of the forest. Her actions hint at a more permanent residence in these woods.
Regarding Sean Sanderson, the picture becomes clearer upon Jill's confession to Scott. Sean was indeed the predator who ended Caleb's life, a revelation confirmed by Shane's surveillance footage in the park. Kyle, driven by justice, aimed to gather concrete evidence against Sean.
However, Jill, weary of the drawn-out legal battle, chose a shortcut. Secretly, she hired Shane to blackmail, lure, and ultimately eliminate Sean. Having confessed her deeds to Scott, Jill visits Kyle in the hospital, pledging to move forward. She begs for his assurance of well-being, but he cannot comply. Haunted by visions of Caleb, Kyle struggles to let go.
Upon leaving the hospital, Kyle agrees to sign any documents necessary for Esther's wrongful death lawsuit, seeking justice for those he has lost.
What becomes of Lucy's fateful tale? Even after Shane's untimely demise, Kyle is consumed by self-blame over her loss, relentlessly searching for insights into her life before she met her end. He concedes to the chief's wish, granting Lucy a ceremonial burial befitting her heritage. With his employment at the park now a distant memory, Kyle embarks on a journey to Nevada, driven by a promising lead. Despite Souter's attempts to deter him, Kyle remains steadfast in his pursuit of justice.
In Nevada, the veil of secrecy is lifted as Kyle discovers Lucy's life amidst the Gibbs family, a wolves' den cloaked in religious piety, exploiting numerous children. He uncovers harrowing tales of Lucy, alias Grace, enduring unspeakable hardships within that foster home. Clinging to the hope that her policeman father would rescue her, Lucy's dreams shattered when he never came. Desperate and disillusioned, she fled, only to return to the comforting embrace of the woods.
Armed with this revelation, Kyle confronts Souter by the serene lake, prompting the latter to confess his darkest deeds. Souter, Lucy's estranged father, had abducted her and entrusted her to the Gibbs, believing she'd find safety there rather than with her stepfather, Roger. Upon Lucy's return, she embarked on a path of blackmail against Souter, ultimately leading to her tragic end as he eliminated her to shield his family and marriage from scrutiny. Kyle stands firm, refusing to aid Souter in concealing his crimes. Cornered with no escape from retribution, Souter takes his own life.
And so, the narrative of "Untamed" concludes with Kyle bidding adieu to Caleb, choosing a new path forward. He entrusts his steed and Caleb's cherished toys to Naya, symbolizing his intent to move on. The chief, witnessing Kyle's transformation with pride, takes solace in his steps towards healing.
