Jesse returns to her room to find Derek there. She says that she's going to regret giving him a key. He tells her that John is his nephew and that she's the fourth person to know that. He says that he came here to fight a war and do whatever it takes to fight Skynet. He tells her there's no more room for secrets -- she needs to tell him everything now. She tells him that, the whole time they were stationed at Serrano Point, she was using his toothbrush. Oh yeah? Well, he wasn't brushing his teeth with that. I really want to know what he was doing with it. And, I don't. But I do. She hugs him. And, she doesn't say anything about Riley.
The next day, John is waiting for Sarah when she gets home. He's worried and hugs her. Then, there's a knock at the door. He knows that it's Riley. He answers the door and tells her it's unlike her to knock. She tells him that she rejects his rejection. She asks him if he wants to go for a walk. He doesn't answer, but he yells to Sarah that he's going out for a while. She seems nervous and excited that he's hanging with her.
Sarah goes to the bathroom to freshen up. She sees three red dots on her face and freaks the fuck out. She breaks the mirror into a million pieces, which of course makes you feel like this isn't going to get much better for her.
Weaver tells Ellison that she has thought about what he said about teaching John Henry ethics. She says she doesn't know how to do that. She says she wants to show him something. On the elevator down to the basement, they discuss the urban legend of John Henry. Weaver says that John Henry beat the machine, but he could not beat progress. She leads him to a room where, seated, is freaking Chrome Artie. He greets Ellison and says that his name is John Henry. "How are you today?"
