Sarah's apparently checked herself into a sleep clinic because all her fears about the end of the world mean she's not sleeping. When she does manage to catch a little shut-eye, she's apparently dreaming about investigating a company with links to Desert Heat and Air. She goes to check it out, and winds up being kidnapped by Winston, the dude she shot at Desert Heat and Air, who's intent on extracting information from her.
Not that things are much better at the sleep clinic. Weird things seem to be going on -- furtive nighttime injections of her roommate, who winds up dying in a fire while sleeping, and there's also the cagey doctor. There's a friendly custodian who likes to make dream catchers for the patients who need them, plus he has a coyote tattoo, and Sarah sees a coyote in the parking lot of the company linked to Desert Heat and Air in her dream. So a reluctant John helps her investigate, and they find an observation room with all kinds of sinister machines observing the sleeping humans. The cagey doctor is actually a terminator. Quite the coincidence, huh? Well, not really, because it turns out the sleep clinic stuff is the actual dream, while the reality is that Sarah has really been captured by Winston. So she has to kill him, for real this time. And god knows how long she's going to moan about having had to kill the guy. Get over it, Sarah. And why not let Cameron help you a little bit more, since killing is the entire reason for her existence? The only opponent Cameron faces in this episode is a stubborn vending machine (well, she also faces off against Sarah's pancake-making abilities). There's also no Derek, no Weaver, no Ellison, no Riley, no Jesse, no Chrome Artie, no nothing.
Tip for Sarah if you actually are having sleeping problems: watch this episode, and you'll be out like a light in no time.
