Episode 3 (Humans series 1)

In this episode, Anita saves Toby's life, George and Odi are involved in a car crash and Niska goes on the run after arguing with Leo and Max.

Back at the house, Joe checks Anita to make sure there is no external damage that her self-repair systems didn't trace.

Believing he is going to cheat on his wife with her, Niska hides a knife behind her back, intending to murder him; but the man mentions he was looking after his young daughter for the weekend.

Nowalk took issue with the Hawkins family ignoring the fact that Anita disobeyed a direct command and Niska's violent personality.

[3] Matt Fowler of IGN, who gave the episode a rating of 7.8 out of 10, enjoyed the dynamic between Anita and Laura and Niska's storyline, but felt that "higher stakes need to kick in for [George] soon" and said Pete Drummond "feels a bit off" and his plot was "rushed and unnatural".

[4] Ed Power of The Telegraph gave the episode 3 stars out of 5, criticising the "whiff of cheap soap opera" felt during George's car crash.

"[6] Morgan Jeffery of Digital Spy said that "the separate pieces of Humans are neatly coming together to form a cohesive and engaging whole", other than "curiously removed" but "intriguing" plot involving George and Odi.
