While out shopping on her own something goes wrong; suddenly she freezes and has no idea who she really is. She gives her name as Allison Young; this isn't a random name though; Allison Young is a real person or at least she will be in the future
The story of Cameron's action after her memory failure is intertwined with the story of Allison Young; a member of the resistance who looks just like Cameron; that is obviously not a coincidence. Cameron finds herself with as girl called Jody who befriends her and hears about how she came to be in LA
a story that might not be exactly true. Elsewhere agent Ellison is seriously considering Catherine Weaver's job offer.
This was an enjoyable episode that gave us an insight into Cameron's original mission and how she was to infiltrate the resistance. It was nice to see Summer Glau take centre stage as she does a great job as Cameron; it was interesting to compare this character with Allison. Not much happened in Agent Ellison's story but it is gradually advancing along with the connected story of the mysterious Catherine Weaver. Having Sarah away from John and Cameron while accompanying her neighbour to the hospital initially seemed a distraction but it became clear that these scenes did provide some insight into her character.
