And Kim has serious grounds for concern, as now Ayla appears to be capable of controlling the consciousness of those around her... In her opinion, this will be better for everyone. But how will it actually be? It seems that Kim will have to not only find a way to save her sister but also protect the Earth from Ayla and the forces she has unleashed.
