After defeating [[Wheatley]] and regaining control of the Enrichment Center, GLaDOS thanks Chell for being her "best friend" and for helping her realize "where Caroline lives in her brain". The [[Announcer]] then proceeds to state that she has promptly deleted Caroline from her system.}}		{{spoiler\|It becomes clear that Caroline's mind was inserted into the AI that became GLaDOS, a fact GLaDOS silently recalls on her own as she listens to the recordings.
