Are machines capable of love? Can they learn, adapt, conspire, or feel emotions? They definitely can in the Twilight Zone!

After losing their mother, a grieving father acquired a robot to help love, care, and raise his children. In season 5, Bernard C. Schoenfeld contributed the episode, From Agnes, With Love" in which a computer programmer is tormented by the jealous computer he works with at his office.
