Real Science Fiction

Torres takes on a huge job. A non-functioning robot is found and taken on board. She decides to bring it "back to life." After succeeding, her prodigy kidnaps her and takes her to his ship, forcing her to create prototypes. The point of all this is revealed. Also, an explanation of why those who originally produced these robots no longer existed. i found this to be a very entertaining episode because it had complex issues.
