Sarah and John adjust to life in 2007 (it was rough finding out the Spice Girls broke up, but what a relief to know they are touring again), and Cameron reveals that Future John sent back other resistance fighters from the future. But when Sarah and Cameron try to rendezvous with four of them, they end up in a tussle with another Terminator, who gets away. Sarah"s pissed that they"ve only been in 2007 three days before all hell broke loose, and says it would have been better to train John for seven more years. Cameron said they didn"t have the time, because Sarah would have died in 2005, which will probably turn out to be her excuse for everything.
While John stews about staying in hiding, Sarah and Cameron visit an old ally of Sarah"s, Enrique, for some fake ID. He"s retired, though, and points them towards his nephew, Carlos, who wants to charge them $20,000 they don"t have. Meanwhile, John blows off the seclusion and heads to the mall, where he looks up details of Charley Dixon and risks being discovered by going to Charley"s apartment. John acts like he hasn"t seen Charley in eight years, and flips out and winds up knocking Charley on his ass and fleeing. Mother"s intuition combined with Cameron"s lie-detecting abilities suggest John is lying to them when he claims to have stayed at the house all day long, but the interrogation will have to wait until the team unwisely revisits the house where the resistance fighters were killed in order to snag some of the stashed money. They find a rigged safe, but the Terminator who set the trap is ridiculously slow in responding, so the trio escapes and buys the new identities from Carlos, who makes an offhand comment that leads Sarah to think Enrique is ratting them out. Cameron also thinks so, so she offs him, which horrifies the waffling Sarah (but Cameron was right, and now FBI Guy James Ellison is on the case). Meanwhile, the Terminator skull that the ?previously on Terminator? scenes tell us traveled through time with our intrepid trio (which did not at all happen last episode) reactivates the body, and they have a joyous and bloody reunion. Less joyous is a visit to the doctor by Sarah, who"s found out from Cameron that she dies of cancer.
