Karr was concerned about Melissa's absence. She had been in good health when she awoke that morning. When she had left, it was for breakfast and physical therapy. She should have returned by now. Perhaps she had collapsed again, somewhere out of his sensor range. He wondered if he should contact Kitt, to see if he knew where she was.

Karr wasn't sure why Melissa's safety was so important to him. Why Melissa was so important to him. As the daughter of Wilton Knight, he should consider her his sworn enemy. Though based on the hypothesis she had shared – Wilton Knight's hypothesis – perhaps Karr was in error to consider any member of the Knight family an enemy. But did that include Michael Knight? Or Devon Miles, who Melissa had called uncle? And what about Bonnie Barstow?

Karr reached out – hesitantly – to Kitt, to learn more about these humans. To decide whether instead of transactional interactions, he could have a true relationship with them. And whether doing so was, just maybe, not as incompatible with his core directive as he had thought.
