Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles 2.13 "Earthlings Welcome Here" Recap

Dr. Morris is hypnotically taking Eileen back to her pick-up point as Sarah's listening in the car. Down the block, Sarah notices a police car coming toward her and ducks as it passes. When she rights herself, she hears a door opening in Dr. Morris' home. We cut inside where a pair of denim-clad legs pop into view. "Can I help you?" Dr. Morris asks, and gunshots ring out. When Sarah rushes inside, both Dr. Morris and Eileen are dead and a motorcycle is heard driving away.

With the recording, Sarah begins retracing Eileen's steps. It leads her to a warehouse surrounded by desert. With binoculars, Sarah can make out an office entrance for a A/C company. She loads up a bag of goodies (read: guns and explosives), and enters the office. Aiming at the guy at the desk, she barks, "Where's the metal?" He stammers, she shoots. He's understandably losing it so Sarah just pulls his gym bag out from under his desk. Opening it, she sees an appropriately innocent-looking ID. The guy claims that the warehouse space is rented out to another company and he doesn't know anything more. Sarah buys it, tells him that she knows where he lives, and begins to leave.

So of course, the guy has to pull a gun and shoot her in the leg. Sarah, you have GOT to learn how to be a better judge of people. She goes down and he walks over to her. They begin to struggle face to face and after an impressive head-butt the man's gun goes off between them. There's the typical who-shot-who fake-out and the guy goes down. Surprisingly enough, I'm pretty sure this is the first guy Sarah's offed herself. She falls, and looking over to the side, by the warehouse, she sees PsychSarah and her spinning knife. Madness and answers. Pulling herself across the floor, she sees WaitressSarah in the exit doorway with her hand outstretched. The words are unspoken, but the gesture is universal, "Come with me if you want to live." Sarah pulls herself outside and as she looks up at the sky, a shape flies across the bright sun. Something mechanical hovers overhead, with three openings, dots if you will, and Sarah passes out. There's a pop to whitescreen.

Credits.

That's it guys, hiatus is OVER, and next episode is "The Good Wound." Per TVGuide: The image of Kyle Reese (Jonathan Jackson), John's father, visits Sarah while she deals with her injuries; fatal consequences result after Weaver becomes protective of John Henry.
