After an exciting episode where we saw John's uncle Derek Reese was rescued from custody and a terminator things quieten down a bit in this episode. Derek is seriously wounded and Sarah's ex Charley Dixon is called to help, understandable he has a lot of questions about where she has been and why she disappeared, while he is obviously shocked when he learns what Cameron is robot his reaction is more restrained than you'd expect from most people. While undergoing treatment Derek has flashbacks to the future where we see how when he he was captured he met creator of Skynet Andy Goode who we learn was killed by Derek so clearly Derek's trip back has changed the future in some way.
This episode had some good action set in the future although there was little sense of danger as we know Derek must survive those scenes. There was some tension however in seeing whether or not he would survive his wounds in the present. The main question this episode raised for me was whether or not Cameron can be trusted after she lies to Sarah about fully destroying the terminator who was after Derek; she destroys the body but keeps his control chip.
