Meanwhile, the scientist who designed A.X.L. is monitoring everything, wants to get the dog back, and tries to keep the top-secret technology from outsiders.

However, Miles is hesitant to turn the robot dog back in, and Miles’ friend, Sara (Becky G), learns about A.X.L. and helps him along the way.
