We cut to an impromptu firing range where a row of granny smith apples are being blown to smithereens somewhat ineptly by Derek. He removes the magazine and mutters that the sights are off. Jesse doesn’t seem to believe him and takes the gun with a smirk. This is a date, then? Man, Derek sucks at this. But then again, for these two…At any rate, Jesse starts to take aim as Derek asks her what the date of ‘her’Judgment Day was, since he’s assuming it’s different from his. Hot damn, the writers are all over this continuity stuff this week and ‘yay!’for that. Despite her smirkage, Jesse does about as bad as Derek did and agrees about the sight, all the while ignoring his question. So he simply asks again, clearly irritated that she’s stonewalling about this and oh-so many other things. Politely, Jesse more or less tells him to shove it, they’ll know it when it happens.
She’s resetting the apples when the real reason for this scene rears its ugly head. Derek wants her to help with something, something Skynet related. There’s a man with information he wants, her help to get the man. Oh, so that’s the date? Must be their thing now. Except for the part where she turns him down flat. She’s not here for Skynet, she’s here for John. ‘You keep saying that, but I don’t know what it means. And I’m the one living with him.’Jesse takes a couple of cheap shots about said living conditions, what with the metal and having Sarah riding his ass when he reminds her, pointedly, that he’s there with her and not with them on this. She can help him with his plan, or she can start showing him hers. Since the latter really wouldn’t go over well, she asks him what he needs.
Back at the house, Sarah’s shifting through papers related to her dots and the drone. Huh, that sounds like a funky band name, doesn’t it? When Cameron walks by, Sarah asks about the files on a lawyer that set up the warehouse’s shell company. When she hears that Derek took them, she’s highly displeased. He’s stepping on her territory again, some more, and that never goes over well. Cameron tries to say that Sarah’s been distracted lately, so maybe he was doing it to assist her, but Sarah tries to excuse herself by noting, ‘I was kidnapped.”Which is distracting.’That was my line, Cameron, back off. Sarah rather abruptly changes the subject to Riley and what happened the day she tried to kill herself. Cameron recaps the episode, but the long and the short of it is, the Connors just don’t know much about Riley — and they need to remedy that post-haste. Cameron offers to go, but Sarah insists. She’s not distracted anymore and this is her house. (Dammit.)
Out in the shed, the producers decide to give us a little visual TMI in the form of Cameron slicing the skin off her buggy forearm and peeling it off. At least it’s not the eyes again, I HATE it when it’s the eyes. She has some tools out and begins testing relays and circuits. From out of nowhere, ‘˜cause I could have sworn she left awhile ago, Riley walks up to the outside of the shed where her bike is stowed and looks in, aghast. She grabs her bike and tries to leave nonchalantly, but Cameron saw her and stands in the doorway watching Riley’s escape. The music of impending doom swells right into the…
… title card! Da-da-dum-da-dum! Clank!

Heh – so am I as I have yet to watch the episode. If you hear screams of glee, angst, and/or rage coming from the general direction of Texas tomorrow? That will be me.
(Later on, form an apartment in North Austin) Oh, holy CRAP!

Awesome recap! I have started watching this show, and I had never seen an episode until I read your first recap, but it sucked me in just from the description. I have to say, I'm a little confused about a few things, but I already like it. I can't believe I wasn't watching from the beginning for Brian Austin Green…
One of us! One of us! Welcome to the fold, Kripke. We have angst, creepy robots, explosions and cookies. OK, I'm lying about the cookies, but we do have Brian Austin Green and Summer Glau and that is teh awesome, no?
KOM you really need to take a boo at the amazing Terminator FAQ Raven has put together…I watch the show every week and still have to refer to it, as well as posting dozens of questions ;)

Enjoyed this detailed recap, but note the dead bird at the end was an English sparrow, and the bird Cameron crushed at the beginning was a pigeon. This suggests that Cameron's glitch is still present and not worked out, that she crushed yet another bird. The glitch probably plays a role in the season's resolution.

I really like what you posted. I really agree with what you wrote.
