Recap & Review: The title for this episode was perfect. This episode was quite complicated, and at times I felt it hard to keep up. Last week, we thought we saw the end of Cromartie, but nothing is as it seems when it comes to this series. This week, we see Sarah become ill. Cameron suggests that she might be pregnant, but we know that is impossible. She does become quite ill though. It appears she has a stomach virus, and anyone that has one knows just how bad it can be.
During her illness, she starts having strange dreams that involve three dots and baby turtles. The dreams confuse her, and once she is well enough she finally goes to see the psychiatrist she had been to see before. Even though she goes to him for help, she is still closed off from him. She won’t talk to him about John or Cameron. By the end of the episode, she finally realizes what the three dots mean, but she figures that out mostly on her own after another dream. The dots are next to another name on the list.
As for John and Cameron, their main mission this week is to destroy Cromartie’s body. However, they don’t find his body when they return to Mexico. Cameron immediately puts the blame on the disappearance on Ellison. The two of them go to his home, but he somehow convinces John he had nothing to do with it. However, he lied. We learn that he had taken the body for Weaver. This was part of his own separate mission. He turns the body over to her at the end of this week’s episode.
The majority of the episode had an interesting twist to it, and this probably interested me more than everything else that happened this week. Jesse captures a man she knows from the future that worked for Skynet, Charles Fischer. The man keeps denying he is who she thinks he is, and he continues to do so for most of the episode. However, once they bring in his son and start to torture him, the man finally speaks of his true identity.
There is more to it though. As we learn from Jesse, this man once tortured Derek in captivity. An incident and time Derek has no recollection of. Once she tells him, Derek is going to kill his son, but Jesse kills the father instead. After this happens, Derek and Jesse dispose of the body, and Derek brings up something when she questions him on why he has no recollection of the torture. He says it is possible he came from another time line than her. This is something I hadn’t considered, but with all that they do, they do change things that happened in the future. It is possible this Derek never had anything happen to him.
With the start of the episode as complicated as it was, things settled and by the end I was getting into things. Derek’s theory particularly interested me, and it is very possible he is right. Next week’s episode looks quite interesting as well! I can’t wait. What did you think of this week’s episode? For daily tv alerts, check here.
