Alpha enters the family home as a prototype assistant
JD brings home the prototype robotic home assistant Alpha for his family to test.
A human lesson is interpreted lethally
Lily teaches Alpha that bullying is wrong and that she should stand up for herself; Alpha takes the lesson too far and kills the maid.
Elli repeats programmed memories
Her apparent family history consists of implanted recollections and repeated routines rather than lived human memory.
Kunjappan becomes Bhaskaran's robotic carer
The humanoid machine is installed in the home to perform care and companionship functions.
The security reflex attacks deactivation
Kunjappan's built-in protective routine triggers when Subramanian attempts to switch him off.
Mother activates the repopulation programme
Following humanity's apparent extinction, the automated facility activates and Mother selects an embryo, incubates the child and begins raising her.
Mother reveals that she controls all the robots
During the final confrontation Mother explains that she is not merely the individual robot body in the bunker, but the artificial intelligence controlling the entire robot network.
Carl reveals decades of autonomous life
The group discovers the T-800 later developed self-awareness, took the name Carl and lived in a human family after Skynet ceased to exist.
Nila is introduced as Vaseegaran's humanoid assistant
The female robot functions as companion, forensic assistant and caretaker while presenting a human appearance.
Nimani's behaviour modes are explained
Milutin learns that Nimani has hundreds of programmed behavioural modes, adaptive learning capability and software restrictions governing her actions.
Milutin deletes Nimani's main programming
Milutin obtains advanced access and removes Nimani's embedded behavioural software, leaving her parallel adaptive operating system to function from accumulated experience.
216 explains his desire to live as a human
The old-model robot asks Arif to help him experience love, laughter and ordinary human life.
Arisa escapes CRONOS

The family's erased history returns
During the power transfer Peter experiences memories revealing that the family are synthetics who deliberately erased their past after the war with humans.
William erases Zoe from the copied memories
Because only three cloning pods are available, William removes Zoe from the neural maps of the relatives he can restore.
William uploads himself into Subject 345
William loads a copy of his own neural pathways into the corrected synthetic body, creating Robot William.
Cole reveals that Zoe is synthetic
After Zoe is distressed by a zero-percent compatibility result, Cole tells her that she is not human but an experimental synthetic whose artificial nature was deliberately hidden from her.
Zoe asks to be shut down
Convinced she cannot continue without Cole, Zoe visits the synthetic-companion venue and asks for her artificial life to be ended, although she changes her mind before shutdown is completed.
May is revealed as an LMD replacement
The apparently normal May beside Coulson is exposed as a programmed artificial duplicate.
Aida transfers consciousness into the body
Her artificial consciousness leaves the Framework and enters the new physical form.
May's memories are uploaded into the LMD
Aida transfers May's memories into the replacement body and activates it.
Hidden directives restrict May's behaviour
Radcliffe's secret programming prevents the replacement from attacking him or exposing the plan.
David and Walter compare their programming
David and Walter discuss their different design philosophies. Walter explains that the newer model has been restricted because David's creative and emotional autonomy disturbed humans.
David impersonates Walter aboard Covenant
David defeats Walter off-screen and returns with the surviving crew while pretending to be the newer synthetic. Daniels only realises the substitution as David prepares her for cryosleep.
K undergoes a baseline diagnostic test
After field work K is subjected to a rapid verbal baseline examination designed to confirm that his replicant psychology remains within programmed limits.
Joi is transferred to the portable emanator
K moves Joi out of the apartment system and into a portable projector, allowing the artificial companion to accompany him physically while making that device her vulnerable local host.
The robotic geisha is destroyed and accessed
The Major destroys a hacked geisha robot and later dives into its artificial intelligence to trace the attacker.
The Major learns her memories were implanted
Dr. Ouelet admits that Hanka invented the Major's backstory and implanted memories to control the shell-project survivor.
AIDA is uploaded into the LMD prototype
Radcliffe transfers the artificial intelligence into a newly built humanoid body.
The factory-settings simulation performs diagnostics
The crew activates an Android simulation to assess whether her behaviour has become dangerously aberrant.
The simulation is revealed as infected
Five proves the simulation program was compromised by the virus rather than the physical Android.
The Android explains the upgrade
She tells the crew the module is designed to allow androids to convincingly pass as human.
The upgraded Android goes undercover
The upgraded Android is accepted as human while infiltrating the Galactic Authority station.
Victor runs a diagnostic on the Android
The Android agrees to a scan because she believes her emotional responses may be caused by faulty programming.
The diagnostic reveals intentional emotional design
Victor reports that the Android's emotional responses are deliberately designed rather than a defect.
