Tam was MEAD's AI tech.

She made him what he is today.

MEAD: She's gone, Friz.

You're alive.

MEAD: Sorry if
I was overdramatic.

-I-- I didn't account for--
-I thought we were toast.

MEAD: Well, the dark matter
gave me just enough energy

to reboot my power grid.

You can do that?

MEAD: Who knew, right?

I-- I did repairs
while you were out.

Well, place looks great.

MEAD: You had me worried, buddy.

So, Phoebe saved us?

Maybe she wasn't
so bad after all.

MEAD: Yeah, I'll miss her.

No, you won't.

MEAD: Not for a minute.

Friz, I heard what you said.

What'd I say?

MEAD: I'm the one
who'd be nothing without you.

Thanks, pal.

PHOEBE: You stupid,

She was real, wasn't she?

MEAD: Yeah, that she was.

And me?

Just another one
of our damn illusions.

That makes two of us.

All right,
now's not the time, pal.

Can you just
please end Tam sequence?

MEAD: Uh, it's not a sequence.

What do you mean
it's not a sequence?

Tell him.

MEAD: Well, while you were out

I sort of cut her loose.

Cut her loose?

He doesn't control me anymore.
Neither do you.

MEAD: She's like me now.
Bonified A.I.

Don't know why it
never occurred to me before.

Jealousy, maybe?

MEAD: No, and again, no.

Yeah, but she's not, like,
the real Tam, though, right?

MEAD: Au contraire, mon frêre,

she was initially assigned
as a proxy symbiote

during my early development,

so her cerebral scans
were recorded

and uploaded into
all three deceptor units.

Enter me to screw it all up.

MEAD: This dramatically altered
the temperament of all of us.

We inherited her conscience.

That's why we
were all decommissioned.

MEAD wouldn't kill, so--

It's all my fault.

You tried to save us.

It was the least I could do.

And you knew you
would die trying.

Those are my calculations, yes.

So, I made it aboard MEAD
in a scientific, creative way.

Huh.

-MEAD: Ugh.
-Thanks again.

I'm back from the dead.
Does that creep you out?

Kind of, yeah.

So, this new Tamera is, uh...

she's the--
the same as the old Tamera?

Oh, much better.
New and improved.

MEAD: She can disobey
to your heart's content.

God help you.

TAM: I can disobey you, too.

We should redecorate.

Hardwood floors. More plants.

-A throw rug.
-Uh, my controls.

Don't be such
a control freak, Friz.

I have good ideas too, you know.

MEAD: Oh, what have I done?

♪♪♪

-So, what are you thinking?
-I'm thinking we got lucky.

I'm thinking next time,
they're all going to have

those helmets and I'm thinking
they're going to be

pretty pissed off at me
for busting up the Achilles.

Big galaxy,
and we've got dark matter.

MEAD: Well,
what do you want to do?

Yeah, Friz. What
do you want to do?

Let's go somewhere.

You're thinking about her.

Well, she's looking at prison.
Possibly a death sentence.

-You've got to be kidding.

It's the last thing
they'd expect.

TAM: You're serious?

MEAD: I'm telling
you, this is a bad idea.

Spectacularly bad.

Look, I know you're both right.

MEAD: What are we going to do?

We're going to Ganymede.
