Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Service

Sarah’s sitting with Diana at the service as Diana reminisces about watching classic movies at the neighbor’s home. She can’t even remember the last time she and Dead Ed went to a movie as he was always working. Sarah’s smiling and nodding, mentioning that the company was a hard place to work, even after only a few months she knew that. Diana's not paying all that close attention to Sarah's story as she goes on to wonder what kind of security they had Ed doing that kept him out of the house seven days a week. Sarah shifty-eyes some more and the camera eventually looks over her shoulder at Shady Dude, who’s looking at the backs of everyone’s heads and pulling out a phone to talk to...

...Catherine Weaver who wants to know if he, “has him, Mr. Walsh?” Apparently not as “he” is a difficult act to follow as everyone’s convinced “he’s” dead. He assures Catherine that he has a lead, and for his sake we almost hope he does. He goes back into the church and sits where he can get a great view of Zoe and her mother.

Ellison's walking into Zeira Corp looking like he’s tripped into the Twilight Zone. Seeing Matt the Tech at the elevators he asks is he missed the memo about wearing plaid today. Matt assures him there was nothing so formal, it’s just something they all decided to do to honor Lachlan Weaver, Catherine’s dead husband. Today is the anniversary of his death. Everyone loved him, and her, they were a lot of fun...back then. The elevator opens, and the lady herself, well, the thing impersonating the lady herself, is inside. They enter the elevator and she mentions, “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” Ellison...just looks confused.

Impending meltdown in 3...2...1...

Back at the service the minister is thanking everyone who came...and the parent company, the Kaliba Group, for it’s generosity to the town and to the families, blah, blah, blah. He fades to background noise as we can see the increasingly agitated Diana screwing up her face like she’s about to deliver a grand "F’you all,  and the horses you rode in on!" speech. Sarah’s eying the impending meltdown curiously and I'm rubbing my fingers together in glee. I’m not disappointed as Diana stands and asks the crowd, “Is that all it costs to buy us? Flowers and a few kind words? Where’s anybody from the company? Have any of you seen anybody from the company? Has anybody EVER seen anybody from the company?” She waits. “No, you haven’t.” She strides out the door and Sarah follows. Shady Dude Walsh watches, and Derek watches Walsh.

Outside, Sarah follows Diana to a nearby bench where she’s crying her eyes out. She pushed her husband to take that job, better paycheck, better town, but who was she kidding? Diana says she knows that no heating and air facility needs that kind of security and something wasn’t right. She finally gets around to asking Sarah what she did there. “Coffee and sandwich cart, waitress on wheels.” Sarah, I know that keeping the story close to the truth makes it easier to remember, but sooner or later some shady law enforcement agent’s gonna Google, “Waitress + Sarah” and a big ‘ole picture of you is going to pop up. Just sayin’. Moving on quickly, Sarah says she doesn’t know what went on there. Diana says no one did, no one bothered to ask. Sarah tries to tell her that people get caught up in things and Diana agrees, sweeping it away. She got caught up in things, too, and never realized her husband had a storage unit she didn't know about. She shows the key in question to Sarah, who all but grabs her by the ear and drags her away as we cut to...

...a storage unit being opened by Sarah – shocking, no? On the floor by an old couch is a pile of bloody towels that look awfully red for theoretically having sat there a few days. Or maybe crusty brown doesn’t look as dramatic on camera. Either way, blood and towels equal a wounded or dead somebody, and Sarah’s very interested in finding out who that person is (or, you know, was).
