I have missed several episodes of Touching Evil, including the very first one, so I am completely confused. Can someone tell me everything that has happened in the show so far? And the guy that follows him around (S something), is he real or just in his mind?
You can an excellent synopsis and episode guide here:

American, thanks for the link. It doesn’t really say anything about Cyrill though (but I did see his name so now I can spell it!)
I like Cyrill. How he moves his eyes like that is beyond me.
I think it was back in the second (?) episode, the one where the kids were being abducted. Creegan, Branca, and pals were tracking someone and they wound up in an amusement park. They spotted a suspicious looking character and chased him into the house of mirrors. That character was Cyrill.
Turns out Cyrill thought he was either from another planet, or that his real life was a dream and his dreams were real life, or maybe both, I’m still not sure (and I haven’t missed a minute of the show). Anyway, that’s why he seemed suspicious, because he was paranoid. Creegan sees him as someone who justs needs some understanding and some guidance, and he gets him some help.
Cyrill showed up again a few episodes ago, and he seemingly has started to get his life back in order after a stint in some type of psych-ward or something. He’s started to provide some keen one-liner insights into Creegan’s personal and job-related problems.
I liked the scene where Creegan gave Cyrill his own cell phone so he could call Creegan whenever he felt that he needed to. Creegan humored Cyrill and said it was some kind of galactic transmission device. Cyrill scoffed and said he knew it was really a cell phone. They sat and had a phone conversation 4 feet apart from each other. Well, I guess you had to see it to appreciate it.
