When it was finally time to say goodbye, Sarah reaches out for Kira, but she suddenly cries out in pain. Sarah raises her daughter’s shirt and finds that she has a cut in her arm.

But this is when Kira shocks everyone and tells them that Rachel did not hurt her. In fact, it was the young girl that tried to hurt herself. When Sarah asks why she did this, Kira tells her that she wants to know how quickly her wounds can heal. This experiment will also give the Leda clones an idea how powerful and dangerous Kira could be. In the end, Mrs. S urges Rachel to stick with Kira no matter what since she, and not Sarah, knows how to deal with the young girls.
