Innobotics Corporation has various researchers working on synthetic materials, robotics, and artificial intelligence, but they each work in separate areas of the facility and none are privy to the ultimate goal of their individual work. Synthetic skin expert Frank Hellner is brought in on the secret and invited to participate in the research.
Valerie 23 (Sofia Shinas) is the latest development from the Innobotics Corporation. She is designed to be attractive, helpful, and a perfect companion for a disabled man. Although he is the ideal test candidate, due to his condition and qualifications, Frank Hellner (William Sadler) is extremely reluctant to take part and wants nothing to do with Valerie. Nevertheless, he eventually agrees to a one-week test period.
Valerie proves to be an excellent caregiver, and more. Over the course of the test, Valerie becomes increasingly affectionate and Frank eventually gives in. After the sexual encounter, Frank explains to Valerie that he thinks it was a mistake. Frank begins to grow closer to his physiotherapist Rachel (Nancy Allen), and she invites him to a bar. Valerie responds by displaying more human traits such as anger and envy. After following Frank and Rachel on a rock climbing outing, Valerie attempts to dispose of her rival Rachel and is shut down before being returned to Innobotics.
As shown in the release of a compilation edition "Sex and Science Fiction", this episode set a racier tone with more sexual content for the Outer Limits revival as opposed to either its own original series or its "competitor" The Twilight Zone. This would continue throughout the revival series.

A disabled man is offered a prototype android companion in the form of the beautiful Valerie. But when he begins a romance with his physical therapist, his robot develops feelings of jealousy.
What shape could it take? Need A.I. be restricted to world-altering and somehow conscious computer systems or is it better housed in robots and androids? And – should we choose to put it within a human companion – what would be its limitations?
