Kirsten and her roommate Camille clearly didn’t get along in the pilot episode of Stitchers. Camille accused Kirsten of academic sabotage and got her placed on academic suspension at Caltech. She followed that up by boxing up Kirsten’s stuff kicking her out of their house.
Kirsten comes back to get her things, but Camille has already put the boxes back in Kirsten’s room. Camille is sorry for everything that happened, so she cooked dinner as an apology. Wine and lasagna isn’t enough to make up for getting her kicked out of school, apparently. Kirsten, still pissed, leaves without drinking the wine. Apology not accepted.
Kirsten heads back to the Stitchers lab, eager to see Ed Clark’s memories. She wants to prove that the man who raised her was murdered and didn’t commit suicide.
Cameron reluctantly prepares for the stitch. He doesn’t want Kirsten to stitch until he figures out what went wrong last time. She shouldn’t have been able to touch anything in the memories.
Kirsten has less than 48 hours for the stitch. After that, Ed Clark’s brain will be too degraded to use. With that looming deadline, Kirsten doesn’t want to waste any time. Cameron doesn’t want what happened to the previous stitcher, Marta, to happen to Kirsten. Kirsten doesn’t know exactly what happened to Marta, but she doesn’t care about her own safety.
Kirsten never really connected with Ed Clark much, but he did raise her. She needs to figure out what happened to him. She owes him that much.
Maggie, head of the Stitchers program, stops Kirsten right as she’s about to get stitched into Ed’s memories. They have a new case that takes precedent.
