Sarah tells Mike he's got to go after a kidnapped former FLAG operative - his father! The bad guys will be on the lookout for KI3T as the Mustang, so Sarah digs into the FLAG database we saw her researching and pulls out specs on which she programs a new transformation.... and right there in the gimble, KI3T tranforms into - wait for it -
KI2T!!!!

Mike rescues Mike, Mike Sr. gets to know the new KI3T (so many great scenes possible). Two parter, ends with a touching father-son moment where Michael the First reminds Michael the Second what FLAG meant to him and all the "little people" he helped over the years - giving Mike a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. A witty exchange between Mike Sr. and KI3T, and the new crew rides off into the sunset. Mike Sr. goes back towards his house, when the garage opens and there is the REAL KI2T!!!!

Kitt (William Daniels, of course) complains to Michael about these young kids today and their transformations and whatnot.
Talk about a RATINGS BONANZA!!!! And the perfect way to bring all the old fans and doubters in for a second look at the new KR. A wonderful "passing of the torch" too. We'd have to get Ford to play nice and let KI3T run around as an old Trans Am for a while, but it's in their best interest for the show to thrive, right?
Genius - if I do say so myself. That's it - I'm writing a fanfic!!!! Nobody steal my idea!
