In this, the second of a two part story, we learn what was in the crate picked up by the submarine USS Jimmy Carter; a 'liquid metal' terminator! It doesn't appear to be friendly either as the first thing it does after being released is kill a member of the crew. Inevitably this leads to bad feeling amongst the crew and Jesse is the target of their animosity due to her supposed loyalty to the cyborg captain. Eventually Jesse must take command of the boat and order its destruction; before she can evacuate the liquid terminator gives her a message to pass on to John Connor. Back in the present John has figured out that Cameron had nothing to do with Riley's death; what is more it becomes apparent that he has known for some time that Riley was from the future.
This was a fine episode with plenty to keep the viewer interested; the scenes on the sub were particularly good with plenty of action and more importantly a good story that went a long way to explain Jesse's mistrust of all cyborgs. Much of what happened in the present dealt with her exposure; this was also well handled and there were a few surprises I for one had no idea that John knew Riley was from the future. There was also an interesting scene between Catherine Weaver and 'John Henry' where it became clear that he knew more about her than she thought and gave us a hint that her motives are more than likely negative.
