Previously, on T: TSCC: Cameron shoots Chrome Artie; Weaver introduces Ellison to John Henry; Riley wants out but Jesse tells her no; John and Cameron find Riley with her wrists slit; Sarah hunts down a man dressed as a woman who tells her of a strange metal in a warehouse, gets shot and is approached by a strange alien craft (a Hunter-Killer?) -- which sounds more like a telenovela when written out and if Ugly Betty had storylines like this, I wouldn't have given up watching that show four episodes ago.
Voiceover! Oh crap, weecapping means I actually have to pay attention. The voiceover is not Sarah this week, but a male voice paralleling Kyle Reese in the first Terminator movie: "John Connor gave me a picture of you once, I didn't know why at the time..." Over Sarah waking up in a hospital and flashing back to being shot, he continues, "You were young, like you are now. I always wondered what you were thinking in that moment. You seemed a little sad, like you were remembering something long ago. I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have". Okay, voiceover, you've got my attention, I'm a sucker for callbacks.
Outside the door, a deputy is asking the nurse who shot Sarah and who did she shoot. The nurse wishes him good luck on finding out, as Sarah couldn't even tell her the year. Ha! Yes, that time traveling can be a bitch on the concussion test. Sarah is distracted from the conversation by a voice telling her "On your feet, soldier!" She notes that her file says she's a Jane Doe with a gunshot wound while the deputy informs the nurse that he can't go anywhere without more info. The nurse looks less than thrilled about that as she closes the door to Sarah's room. The voice commands Sarah again, "On your feet" and Sarah pulls out the needle in her arm and half falls out of bed. "Pain can be controlled", says the voice and a hand reaches down for her: "Come with me if you want to live." Eeee! Kyle Reese himself! Sarah takes his hand and looks startled at his appearance in the hospital, rather than amused at the patchy beard-sideburns-growth thing on his appearance.
Sarah fakes out the deputy by breaking the window with her I.V. and hiding behind the door to attack him when he comes to investigate. At Kyle's instructions she takes the deputy's gun and leaves.
