Kyle finally made it on board last episode and immediately lost no time in causing trouble, as usual. He saw a problem between Tumi and Natalya and gleefully set about inserting himself in the middle of it to see what problems he could create. Why? Because he loves doing it! It makes him the center of attention and nothing gives him more joy than that.
He tells Natalya that Tumi would have no problem firing her (a complete lie he just made up himself), which has its intended effect of causing a fight between the two of them, getting both in trouble with Capt. Sandy 100% because of him. But of course he not only doesn't have the guts to tell the Captain the truth, he loves the fighting he started. Then he lies on camera by saying he didn't say it. Of course he's shown on camera earlier on this episode actually saying it, but even on Andy Cohen afterwards he still sat there and lied about it all over again. All the while keeping that "I have them all fooled" smirk on his face. He doesn't.
He is one of the most toxic people to ever have in any workplace that I have ever seen. Not just on the show, but period. He seems to take unending delight in turning one coworker against another, apparently just for the pure fun of it. Then when his deception's are exposed as has happened in prior seasons, he instantly turns into a complete and total whiner, complaining that he is being persecuted for some reason (that he usually makes up on the spot and is always absurd (or fakes an injury or some other such distraction to get sympathy)). Even though he is the one causing the drama, he always deflects and tries to blame others and this episode is no different.
Eventually, when backed into a corner, he apologizes. But it is always insincere since he immediately returns to his usual troublemaking ways. He's addicted to the drama and anger that he creates and makes him the center of attention that his fragile ego demands he be. It's his only joy. Rather pathetic/sad actually, but Borderline Personality Disorder doesn't belong in any functioning workplace.
Of course Captain Sandy is also partially at fault. She has blinded herself to Kyle's divisive antics. The issues between Tumi and Natalya could be dealt with, if not for Kyle constantly pouring gasoline on the sparks. Of course he'll be staying because the show's producers know he's good for the soap opera part of the show.
As an aside, he's listed as a stew, but I have never once seen him actually do any kind of work at all. Ever. He's always sleeping, wandering around the crew quarters, flirting with some guests or whatever. But never actually cleaning anything or any other stew work. He starts to sometimes, but always finds an excuse to stop and leave it for others to finish. Why exactly is he collecting a paycheck? Let alone tips? He never earns any of it.
