We've known about John Connor's ability to send people back in time for the resistance, and we've even seen this season how other rogue human interests can make it back as well. This latest episode cements the notion that Skynet is -also- fully capable of changing the dynamics of the future and is actively pursuing altering its course. Skynet too is following the "no fate" storyline and building drones NOW, beefing up John Henry NOW, all in an effort to gain the advantage even before or without a so-called Judgement Day.

In the preview for episode 13 (Earthlings Welcome Here), Riley is seen saying "I need you. We can be together" to JESSE.

Not sure where this is going. Riley perhaps in love with Jesse? Maybe.
