Synopsis

  • Sarah, John, Cameron and Derek investigate the company town connected to the destroyed factory while Weaver sends her own man into town in search of a potential survivor in the “Desert Cantos” episode of TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES airing Friday, Feb. 20 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SCC-215) (TV-14 V)

  • Sarah, John, Cameron and Derek find the McCarthy's not mourning for the loss of the father, George. He was not at Weaver's plant when she destroyed it and now has possession of an HK.

  • Catherine Weaver realizes how poorly she is faking motions and starts to practice on Savannah.

Unanswered Questions


  • Who is George MCCarthy (Zoe's dad) working for?


  • Will Savannah be a major turning point for Catherine?


  • Who killed Walsh & left his body at the HK pond?

Best Moments


  • Derek's face when he saw the HK overhead


  • John taking the driver's seat


  • While talking to phone, Sarah sees Derek from window and taps it. (nice detail, i like it.)


    At the video room when Zoe's mother explain the reasons of her ignorance and why she choses to look other way, and never questions about her husband's work as long as she benefits from it. How typical human behaviour.


Best Quotes

  • Zoe to John: Funeral crasher

  • Sarah: I hate skynet.

  • Derek to John: Your mom thinks that factory was linked to Skynet.

    John: Yeah, and you think she's nuts.

    Derek: That doesn't mean i think she is wrong.

  • Sarah: Skynet's here Reese. I can feel it..What?

    Derek: You called me Reese again. It is what you used to call him, isn't it? Kyle?...Maybe You should try to let him go.

    Sarah: Maybe you should.

  • Catherine after Ellison reminds her it is one year after Mr. Weaver's death: Beautiful day isn't it.

  • Zoe to John: The secret is "it wasn't heating and air conditioning"

    • Sarah: We are a some kind of terrorist organization.


Episode Trivia


  • Mr. Weaver was known for wearing plaid and is remembered by his employees on the anniversay of his death by wearing plaid.

  • In this episode that was 90% about our heroes finding a Skynet work camp, the Executive Producers credits overlay happened to fall on a short clip of Catherine Weaver talking to Walsh, a Zeira Corp security officer (gone from camera view). At the end of the episode Walsh is dead but CW is inching toward learning about emotions.

Iranatest OT Commercials Hauntingly Familiar to Cromartie at School 0 Feb 21 2009, 2:34 AM EST by Iranatest

The camera angles to the guy with the Blackberry Curve that was calling roll in the high school room and the camera angle back to the classroom was similar to Cromartie's first appearance. He even did the double callout for the one student, who was missing from the chair that John was sitting in (according to the camera angle.) Seems like a shipping company did a similar commercial.

Hi guys,

Most people think that we need near 5.0 millions of viewers to see a third season. Our last week was very low, but I put that on the Valentine's weekend. So wanna give an estimation for tonight's ratings?!
I bet on 5.2 with a drop to 4.7 on second half.
