Forever Young

By Daniel

Also negative -- the results of Ellison's ex-wife's search on Catherine Weaver. But at least she got tell the new husband about James' troubles, so they can be patronizingly concerned about him. Oh, and the report says the cause of the helicopter crash was mechanical failure.

John finally tracks down Cameron at the halfway house, where Cameron, her memory having been fried, doesn't recognize him. John hilariously thinks that if telling her he's her brother doesn't work, she might respond to being told that she's a machine from the future. Cameron shoves him against the wall, and it's only after she demonstrates that she's more than capable of defending herself that the useless halfway-house guard steps in to kick John out of the house. Meanwhile, in the future Cameron remembers running from her captors, only to wind up caught again, and coming face to face with the Terminator version of herself.

"I'm not your enemy," says Robo-Cameron. "I want to get to know you." Her method of making small talk is to say the humans are all going to be hunted down. Except some of the machines -- like her -- want peace. And she wants Allison to tell her where John Connor's camp is.

In the present day, though, Cameron's memory is starting to come back. She remembers being an infiltrator, infiltrating the human resistance, and tells the counselor she's going to hunt down John Connor. "And put his head on a pike for all to see." The counselor puts the cap on her pen. This session is over!

Oh, it's all coming back to Cameron now: "I want to get to know you," she tells Jody. Just in time, too, because the counselor shows up at Allison's room, police in tow, only the girls are long gone.

Ellison goes back to see Weaver, whose cute daughter Savannah is in the office, which ought to be a dead giveaway in that Terminators mark Take Your Daughter To Work Day on a totally different day from humans. Ellison tells Weaver the report says her husband died due to mechanical failure, which is not what she told him. Catherine asks him which one he thinks is true, and Ellison says if he had a daughter, and she wanted to know what happened to her parent, he'd want to make sure the official reason is the reason he'd want her to hear. "I think you saw what you saw," he tells Catherine. "Just like you saw what you saw," she says. Well, she would know. She can turn herself into a urinal. He's in!
