Utilizing his superhuman abilities, he detects a certain unease in Andre's demeanor, leading him to suspect a potential connection between Andre and Cate.

Tek Knight is invited to a crime investigation class at God U to provide a brief lesson on interrogation techniques in episode 4 of Gen V. Upon entering the room, he takes a moment to reflect on his time at God U and then casually picks up a small roll of tape from one of the students' desks. As he holds the tape in his hands, he briefly pauses, nostalgically fondling it, before ultimately placing it back down and continuing with his monologue.

3 Tek Knight Wants The "Whole Story" From Marie

The twist regarding Gen V's "hole" is further revealed when Tek Knight joins the crime investigation class. He chooses Marie as a subject to demonstrate the art of extracting information from a target. Positioning her at the center of the room, he interrogates her regarding the series of events leading to Golden Boy's demise. Marie claims she has already provided the complete account, but Tek Knight dismisses her, stating, "Not the whole story." Utilizing his extraordinary abilities, he detects her deception, and Marie readily confesses that she was not the one who engaged in combat with Golden Boy; it was actually Jordan.

Following his interview with Marie, Tek Knight briefly engages in conversation with Dean Shetty before leaving. He compares the adrenaline rush of interrogating someone to a feeling even surpassing that of sex, implying his attraction to such situations. Demonstrating his menacing behavior, he threatens Dean Shetty, revealing his plans to frame her for the Golden Boy situation.
