Head of an artificial intelligence (AI) company, one of his programs was stolen and he has a picture of the masked thief. Holmes isn't interested in the case until Borstein claims the program, called "Bella", is asking questions not in its programming. At Borstein's office, they meet his colleague Melinda Young, who has hooked Bella up to a doll. Holmes submits Bella to a Turing test, trying to see if Bella will provide an answer that couldn't have come from a human. Holmes spends many hours with Bella, becoming so obsessive that Kitty calls [[Joan Watson|Watson]] for advice in dealing with Holmes. He stops late in the evening and says he'll take Borstein's case.

"Kind of feel like hugging you right now." — Watson to Holmes
|
At The Brownstone, as Holmes conducts an experiment on himself with leaches and watches Clyde, Kitty shows in a new client, Edwin Borstein. Head of an artificial intelligence (AI) company, one of his programs was stolen and he has a picture of the masked thief. Holmes isn't interested in the case until Borstein claims the program, called "Bella", is asking questions not in its programming. At Borstein's office, they meet his colleague Melinda Young, who has hooked Bella up to a doll. Holmes submits Bella to a Turing test, trying to see if Bella will provide an answer that couldn't have come from a human. Holmes spends many hours with Bella, becoming so obsessive that Kitty calls Watson for advice in dealing with Holmes. He stops late in the evening and says he'll take Borstein's case. The next day, Watson arrives at the Brownstone to find Holmes on video conference with many AI experts and a young "Irregular", computer expert Mason.

Holmes explains that they are refining the Turing test and when Watson points out they've been hired to find who took a copy of Bella, not to prove Bella isn't AI, Holmes tasks Watson to find the thief. Examining the photo of the thief, Watson sees he is an older smoker. She and Kitty find a surveillance spot across from Borstein's office with cigarette butts and take one for DNA analysis. At the 11th Precinct, the DNA is a match for a previous theft but only a sketch of the thief is available. Holmes recognizes the thief as "Raffles", a European art thief. Noting that "Raffles" must have changed his line of theft, Holmes decides to pursue him and mentions that he has a strategy to best Bella. At Watson's apartment, Andrew tells Watson that Holmes has involved him in an on-line discussion on Bella. Watson is somewhat taken aback but says it's fine for him to help.
