In order to overcome their doubts, Charlie''proposes letting the robot take care of his own children - - a move that is''met by serious resistance from his wife Teryl (Cynthia Geary) and his''children Brad and Brook. From the beginning, there are problems. Unlike''the human nanny, Carmen, Mary doesn't grasp the subtleties of child care''and Melburn must fine tune her. But, Melburn sees that the problems go''beyond Mary's programming. Charlie is smitten with his inorganic creation''and has begun to abuse Teryl - - a woman with whom Melburn was once''romantically involved.

Dr. Larry Chambers (Gregory Harrison) helped build the colony on the''Janus Five. He and fellow scientist Amanda Harper (Kimberly Huffman)''run computer simulations that show the planet's star will flash over in a''matter of days, emitting waves of deadly radiation, so Dr. Chambers''urges evacuation. This is not a popular recommendation, especially''among the colony's leaders who include council chairman Franklin''Murdock (William Atherton), security head Montgomery Bennett (Alan''Scarfe) and Amanda's father, Ian Harper (Ken Pogue). They point out that''Chambers has been wrong before - - the colony had to be moved at great''cost after he warned of deadly volcanic activity - - and suggest that his''judgment has been clouded by the death of his wife Elise. When that''doesn't stop Chambers, Murdock and Bennett discredit him by falsely''accusing him of being one of the aliens who originally inhabited the planet,''suggesting that the evacuation plan is a plot to reclaim the planet for his''people. Imprisoned and threatened with death, Chamber's only hope is''that Amanda will uncover the truth in time to save him and the colony.moreless - Ep 13The Joining4/17/98

Removed from the high radiation''atmosphere of Venus, his body is reacting to the Earth's air like that of a''chemotherapy patient. When doctors give him the radiation his body''seems to crave, strange things start to happen. Davidow's body begins to''spawn duplicate parts - a hand, a torso and more from wounds that''miraculously heal. In spite of this, Miles and Kate get married while he's''still in isolation, but his time on Venus and the strange creatures he''encountered there have had a profound change on Miles. As the''mysterious changes continue, it becomes clear that although Davidow did''what it took to survive, the price of survival may be exile from everything he''knows and loves.moreless - Ep 12Fear Itself4/10/98
For as long as he can remember, Bernard Selden (Ayre Gross) has''been haunted by a paralyzing fear. It started when he was six, when he set''a fire that killed his four-year-old sister and today, at 27, the fear clings to''him like a blanket. But, Dr. Adam Pike (Jeffrey Demunn) has hope for a''cure. He has diagnosed Bernard's condition and believes that if he can''isolate the part of the brain responsible for fear, the amyglada, he can''cure him. The series of injections and radiation designed to build a layer''of calcium around the amyglada produces stunning results; Bernard's fear''recedes. He even starts a relationship with his neighbor Lisa (Tanya''Allen). But there are side effects. Now, Bernard can use his brain to make''others feel the kind of crippling fear he used to feel. He is still a prisoner of''the past, haunted by images of Mr. Wilkes (Alex Diakun), the owner of the''foster home where Bernard's sister died. It is a terrible risk, but Bernard''knows that if he is to be truly cured, he must go back to the day when the''fear began and discover the truth.moreless - Ep 11The Vaccine4/3/98
