Plot
Gryffen is at work trying to fix K-9s memory but with no success, Starkey offers to take K-9 for a walk. They go and see a Ferris Wheel which starts to accelerate in speed rapidly and a group of CCPCs walk in, meanwhile at the mansion as Gryffen instructs them to leave someone comes through the STM. The CCPC's keep the worried crowd under control, Drake informs them of a dissident attack. A bomb has been strapped to the wheel, if they attempt to stop or slow down the wheel it will detonate. Starkey questions to K-9 why the Department aren't trying to help as more news cameras come in. Back at the mansion, the unknown person who came through the STM tells Gryffen he came looking for K-9.
K-9 and Starkey find the Bomb which is strangely non-explosive, they realise that this was a publicity stunt planned by the department. K-9 destroys it which slows the Wheel down, saving the people on it. Starkey and K-9 are praised by the crowd, to Drake's dismay, they then quickly leave. Back at the mansion the unknown person who reveals his name as Ahab (played by Brad McMurray) grows impatient and demands to know where K-9 is, claiming he has committed murder. When Gryffen refuses to tell him where K-9 is infuriating Ahab even further he is interrupted by a department broadcast from Drake claiming that the "Mechanical Dog" was not the hero of the Ferris Wheel incident. Ahab decides to go the department to help him find K-9 and announces his presence via a CCTC device.
At Department HQ June and Drake argue about K-9's presence, Drake claims he is a security threat but June persists that K-9 could be of value. Drake asks his boss about K-9, he informs Drake he shall consider K-9 but orders Drake and June to keep doing their separate duties in the meantime. Darius takes Jorjie, Starkey and K-9 to his secret storage facility in the sewers. Gryffen informs June of his encounter with Ahab who asks Drake to assist him in tracking K-9. As Starkey, Darius and Jorjie sleep in the storage facility, K-9 accesses the remains of his memory and encounter with Zanthus Pia (the man who Ahab claims K-9 murdered). The clip shows K-9's HUD stating Zanthus must be destroyed, the clip then glitches and cuts to a burning corpse which K-9 identifies as Zanthus's remains. He decides he is "Guilty".
K-9 decides to surrender himself to the department. Starkey and the others try to stop him but K-9 is captured by Ahab and they all go to the mansion. The leash like device Ahab uses on K-9 turns him into a conductor, restoring some of his memory of Zanthus Pia. It turns out that K-9 did not kill him, he was, in fact, killed by Ahab. When K-9 reveals that the device Ahab uses generates extreme cold which weakens him, Jorjie throws a cup of tea on the beam disabling it. The force of the device throws Ahab into the STM and he disappears. June appears and says K-9 is under Department control, specifically her section and gives Gryffen full responsibility of him.
Ahab was the seventh king of Israel, the son and successor of King Omri and the husband of Jezebel of Sidon, according to the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew Bible presents Ahab as a wicked king, particularly for condoning Jezebel's influence on religious policies and his principal role behind Naboth's arbitrary execution.
The Book of Kings is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It concludes the Deuteronomistic history, a history of Israel also including the books of Joshua, Judges and Samuel.
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is an 1851 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The book is the sailor Ishmael's narrative of the maniacal quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for vengeance against Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that bit off his leg on the ship's previous voyage. A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, Moby-Dick was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891. Its reputation as a Great American Novel was established only in the 20th century, after the 1919 centennial of its author's birth. William Faulkner said he wished he had written the book himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world" and "the greatest book of the sea ever written". Its opening sentence, "Call me Ishmael", is among world literature's most famous.
K9, occasionally written K-9, is the name of several fictional robotic canines in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, first appearing in 1977. K9 has also been a central character in three of the series' television spin-offs: the one-off K-9 and Company (1981), The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011) and K-9 (2009–2010). Although not originally intended to be a recurring character in the series, K9 was kept in the show following his first appearance because he was expected to be popular with younger audiences. There have been at least four separate K9 units in the series, with the first two being companions of the Fourth Doctor. Voice actor John Leeson has provided the character's voice in most of his appearances, except during season 17 of Doctor Who, in which David Brierley temporarily did so. The character was created by Bob Baker and Dave Martin, to whom rights to the character still belong; consequently, Baker's spin-off series K9, which is not BBC-produced, could not directly reference events or characters from Doctor Who, though it attempted to be a part of that continuity.

It aired in 2009 and 2010 on Network Ten in Australia, and on Disney XD in the UK, as well as being broadcast on other Disney XD channels in Europe. Created due to a contracting loophole that allowed production companies to make deals directly with Doctor Who creators, it was cancelled after one season due to bad reviews and low ratings.
