... and we're back in the present, with Anne screaming in pain. "We need to get her to a hospital," says Lauren, running back in. Derek tells her that until Sarah Connor walks through that door, the safest place is right there. "My baby," cries Anne, apologizing to Lauren.

Back six months ago, the Fields family was having a good ol' row about Anne's affair with Roger. Dave wants to know when it started. "Was it last summer when I couldn't travel because of my back accident?" he says. She says he has a bulging disc from sleeping on his stomach. "You have a weak core!" she yells. "At least my core isn't a slut!" he yells back. Then she calls him a "hophead," like when have you EVER heard that term used? This fight is hilarious. Roger, who doesn't like the man he's cuckolding to say bad things about his girlfriend, so he's all, "That's your wife," on David, who isn't interested in listening. Sarah actually has to fire the shotgun into the ceiling to get the two of them to shut up, but that is just a brief respite, as Roger immediately starts in on Anne about how Sarah is a crazy person, and the guy out in the woods is probably her "meth-head boyfriend." He becomes a lot more convinced when Cameron's body comes flying through the window. "What the hell is that?" asks Roger. Convinced now? Charles Barkley starts yapping and then jumps through the now-glassless window running up the road. Lauren watches him go, and we get to hear the noise go from barking to whimpering to silence. And then here comes the T-888, slowly walking down the path. So wait -- he threw Cameron from that far back? Nice shot!

Roger shows his true colours by heading for the back door, leaving everyone else. David, on the other hand, grabs the gun jammed in the waistband of Cameron's jeans and heads for the front door. Anne shrieks at him and Sarah tells him she can't allow him to do it. He tells her he doesn't give a damn about Skynet; he's just trying to save his family, and if she won't let him, he'll just end it right here. He puts the gun under his chin. Anne covers her face. Lauren cries, "Daddy!" Sarah just stands there, so David heads out the door and hobbles up the road.

He meets the Terminator, a guy with the look of a hockey enforcer, scratched up, all kinds of metal exposed after tussling with Cameron. David tells him he's David Fields: "I'm the one that you want!" The terminator grabs him by the throat and assesses him: No target match. Threat level: none. The terminator tosses him aside and keeps walking.
