In this episode, Cameron has a flashback (or a flashforward, since she's from the future) of being an Allison Young. Allison was actually a resistance fighter for the adult John Connor who encountered her cyborg doppelganger and got killed by her so Cameron could use her bracelet to lead her to John to kill him. As Allison, Cameron encounters a runaway girl named Jody in jail and befriends her though Jody's not so friendly on the inside. Meanwhile, Sarah brings the pregnant Kacy (Busy Phillips) to the hospital where we meet the father, a cop. I'll stop there and say what a nice change of pace from the previous suspenseful and action packed eps of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". Both Ms. Phillips and Summer Glau in her double role come off best here with Glau as future Allison bringing a great deal of emotion in her performance. What a highlight seeing two Summers on the same scene together! This was another excellent I highly recommend.
