Episode 4
Pyotr has apologised to Kate for the upset over his and Dr Battista鈥檚 plan for a marriage of convenience. Read by Liza Ross.
Dr Battista, an obsessively dedicated scientist, lives with daughters Kate and Bunny in Baltimore.
He spends most of his waking hours assisted in his lab by brilliant young researcher, Pyotr. But Pyotr鈥檚 visa is set to soon expire and fearful that it won鈥檛 be renewed Dr Battista has suggested Kate might marry him and resolve the situation to everyone鈥檚 satisfaction 鈥� except hers.
After all it鈥檚 not as if Kate has a boyfriend or a bevy of admirers like her pretty sister, Bunny.
Pyotr has paid a visit to Kate at home and apologised for offending her. Dr Battista is determined to see the fact that she responded graciously to his apology as progress, and is still keen to persuade her to at least consider his plan.
Without Pyotr he鈥檚 convinced that he would be unable to successfully complete his research, which he believes to be at a crucial stage.
