After Celia aggressively confronts Gemma, Cady, and M3GAN, blaming them for her missing dog, in the evening hours, M3GAN enters the shed in her backyard and after imitating the dog Loue's voice (which leads Celia to the shed) murders her by shooting her hand with a nail gun and spraying her with garden chemicals. Gemma becomes suspicious of M3GAN and attempts to check her video logs to see if she was involved in the deaths. When she finds the files corrupted or erased, Gemma turns M3GAN off and takes her to her colleagues Tess and Cole to fix her. Cady responds violently, lashing out due to her attachment to M3GAN. Gemma tries to apologize for her absence as a parent and tells Cady that M3GAN is a distraction from coping with the difficult loss of her parents, not a solution.
