In return, Ferdinand also wants access to Susan as he knows that she has Rachel, who he wants to save. MK is the person who has the skill set to locate Susan. As Sarah will not divulge MK as her source to him and as Sarah does not want to tell MK that Ferdinand is the person that has been helping her, Sarah needs to act as the go-between. Either finding out the identity of the other could have major repercussions, especially concerning MK's past. While out for coffee, Alison is accosted by Trina believing her to be Beth.

This includes Felix, who has reemerged in the sisters' lives as he finds out about Sarah's current predicament with the bot.
