Recap & Review: With an explosive season premiere that lead to only a so-so season up to recently, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is picking up speed the further we get into the season. With last week’s episode showing Cromartie being given to Weaver, the three dots and Derek making his own revelations about the future and its connection to the present, I am full involved in seeing where this series goes. However, there is still the pending possibility that this series will not see a third season, especially with the show being moved to Friday night.
This week, Sarah is still seeing the three dots wherever she looks, and she is determined to find out what they mean. They lead her to a tech start-up called Dakara that is building an AI. With the help of John, she is able to get a meeting with the start-up as a potential investor. She takes in Cameron for the meeting with the man and his son. It the teen that created the program, and Sarah thinks he created it using the Turk. She forms a small bond with the boy’s father, and he leads her to believe that their hard drives were stolen the night before. There is no way of telling this is the case with what happens next.
Sarah gives them the money they need to buy a new chip from another Japanese man. All seems well with the chip at first, but it fails to run the program. This means Sarah has been played, and she lost all of their money. She goes after the man that sold them the chip, but he says he was just an actor. The man behind Dakara is responsible. Sarah goes after him, and we learn that there was no chip. The man just made it all up for them to get the money from Sarah. He wanted to make sure his son was provided for because they wouldn’t make the deadline for a government contract with the air force. Sarah does get her money back.
There was more to this episode though. Derek is still with Jessie, and we learn there is more to her. When she is caught with pictures of John and Derek, she is forced to tell him that her mission is Cameron. She had no idea Derek was with John and staying with them both. We also learn something quite shocking. Riley is also from the future, and she is working with Jessie. She was sent in to get close to John. She has been playing him all along, which is going to only be one big heartbreak when he does find out. It does seem Riley cares for him though.
As for Ellison, last week he gave Weaver Cromartie as I mentioned. This week, we see Dr. Sherman killed by the AI Weaver is creating. Ellison is asked to look into the man’s death. He even interviews the AI. As for Weaver, she continues to work on the program and by the end of the episode, we see her AI implanted in Cromartie’s body. We have our first robot terminator in the making.
This series really is picking up speed as we go on, and this episode only moved us forward. The revelations about Riley and Jessie will only make things more interesting in the weeks to come. What did you think of this week’s episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles? For daily listings, check here .
