- Shortly thereafter, Jessica suffers from a seizure and falls upon the floor of their home. Jonathan examines her, but cannot determine what is wrong with her. Jessica soon recovers with no apparent side effects.

He begins running more tests on her and discovers that the secret towards realizing a decade’s worth of research lies within his daughter.
