Dr. Gross makes her first appearance

After Martin Mertens seemingly disappeared from the island after bypassing the Guardian with Minerva's son, Finn, Dr. Gross sent her best seeker, Kara, to find and bring both of them back. While Minerva struggled to cope with the sudden loss and apparent betrayal of her son and husband, Dr. Gross began to conduct strange experiments in her lab, eventually releasing a deadly virus into the population by accident, leading to the deaths of many. After Dr. Gross fled the island, Minerva chose to upload herself into the island's mainframe in order to restore order.
