{{spoiler|When it becomes a distinct possibility that Cave Johnson may not live to see his artificial intelligence project realised, he makes it clear that Caroline will take over the running of the Facility and, if need be, his place in the artificial brain. As the player explores the old facility with the [[GLaDOS]], it emerges that GLaDOS has a recollection of Cave Johnson and unwittingly finds herself replying to his voice recording instructions.}}
{{spoiler|When it becomes a distinct possibility that Cave Johnson may not live to see his artificial intelligence project realised, he makes it clear that Caroline will manage the Enrichment Center and, if need be, his place in the artificial brain as well. As [[Chell]] explores the old facility with the potato battery form of [[GLaDOS]], it emerges that GLaDOS has a recollection of Cave Johnson and unwittingly finds herself replying to his voice recording instructions in the same manner to that of Caroline.}}


{{spoiler|It becomes clear that Caroline's mind was inserted into the AI that became GLaDOS, a fact GLaDOS slowly recalls as she listens to the recordings. GLaDOS' demeanor slowly changes as her memories of Caroline emerge, and she claims to have turned over a new leaf. After defeating [[Wheatley]] and regaining control of the Facility, GLaDOS thanks [[Chell]] for reminding her who she is, before promptly deleting Caroline's memories. It is never made clear how much of GLaDOS was Caroline. The line "Now little Caroline is in here too" from the closing song "Want you gone" suggests Caroline is still somewhere in GLaDOS' memory. Ellen McLain stated on a panel at Anime Midwest 2011, that to her belief, Caroline is not deleted at all.}}

The [[Announcer]] then proceeds to state that she has promptly deleted Caroline from her system.}}
