Spencer makes a breakthrough and finds what appears to be a wonder drug, Deighton C, capable of curing virtually any disease. Spencer begins a romantic relationship with a reporter, Tricia ( Kate Vernon). Spencer spends his time working on cures for serious illnesses, while Michael pushes for the development of more lucrative drugs-such as Jericho, a drug used to calm rioting crowds. Michael claims to have been tested and pronounced clear. Earlier Frank had been told by Rachel that anything that fears its death is alive.Ĭameron Deighton devoted his life to find a cure for his wife's Huntington's disease, and his two sons, Michael ( Martin Kemp) and Spencer ( Charles Martin Smith), may have inherited the gene responsible for the illness.
As she lies dying, she tells him that she is afraid to die. Frank is forced to destroy Valerie with an electric shock. Valerie escapes, follows Frank and again tries to kill Rachel. While restrained at Innobotics, Valerie tries to explain her feelings for Frank and rekindle the relationship, but to no avail. Frank decides that he must speak to Valerie before she is dismantled and asks for her to be reactivated. After following Frank and Rachel on a rock climbing outing, Valerie attempts to dispose of her rival Rachel and is shut down before being returned to Innobotics. Valerie responds by displaying more human traits such as anger and envy. Frank begins to grow closer to his physiotherapist Rachel ( Nancy Allen), and she invites him to a bar. After the sexual encounter, Frank explains to Valerie that he thinks it was a mistake. Over the course of the test, Valerie becomes increasingly affectionate and Frank eventually gives in.
Valerie proves to be an excellent caregiver, and more. Nevertheless he eventually agrees to a one-week test period. Although he is the ideal test candidate, due to his condition and qualifications, Frank Hellner ( William Sadler) is extremely reluctant to take part and wants nothing to do with Valerie. She is designed to be attractive, helpful and a perfect companion for a disabled man. Valerie 23 ( Sofia Shinas) is the latest development from the Innobotics Corporation.

Note: the series premiere, this was a double length single episode, later broken into Part 1 and Part 2 for subsequent rebroadcasts and syndication. In the epilogue of the episode, a colony of sandkings is shown surviving in the wilderness. In the end, Kress attempts to destroy all the sandkings but fails. Bitten by one of the sandkings, his obsession peaks as he alienates his wife, son, father ( Lloyd Bridges), and kills his former supervisor by throwing him in the sandking incubator, where the creatures-already starved by Kress as an experiment-quickly devour him. Kress comes to believe that he is a god to his sandkings when they erect sand structures that resemble his face. In the meantime, Kress deals with growing discord with his wife ( Helen Shaver) over financial troubles, his obsession with work and the stress of concealing the stolen Martian lifeforms from his former supervisors at the government lab.
He steals some sand containing Martian eggs from his lab and creates a makeshift incubator to hatch more of the Martian lifeforms. He strongly believes that the insect-like species is actually sentient. However, Kress does not agree with the abandonment of the project and decides to continue his experiments in his barn. Simon Kress's ( Beau Bridges) research for the government on Martian life is aborted because one of his specimens almost escapes into the natural environment. 3.8 The Eastern Coalition-Free Alliance Cold War / WarĮpisodes Season 1 (1995) No.īased on the work by : George R.
