Synopsis

Emmy Award winner Richard Schiff (“The West Wing”) makes a special guest appearance in an all-new episode. Sarah’s mystifying nightmares creep into her real life – but what do they mean for her and John? Meanwhile, Derek and Jesse investigate a possible Skynet conspirator. There are three concurrent storylines:

  • Sarah has fever dreams about triplets of turtles at a nursery, three cactii (one hugs John) and she visits Dr. Sherman who has 3 things on a small table

  • Jesse and Derek kidnap, torture and kill Mr. Fischer from the future. They change young Fischer's fate in the present so he can become the "worst of them all" grey in the future.

  • Cameron claims to have sensation and care about music

Best Quotes


  • Sarah: It was my fault.
    John: What was your fault?
    Sarah: Cromartie I led him to you.
    John: What are you talking about?
    Sarah: There was this kid, a boy in the bowling alley. He was with the guys who broke into our house. I knew what I had to do John and didn't do it. I let him go. Cromartie must have found him.
    John: We're not murderers. <pause> You're not.
    Sarah: Tell it to the boy. I'm sure he's dead.

  • Derek: Complicated

  • Jesse to Derek: Noone ever comes back without a mission.

  • John to Sarah: we're not murderers

  • John: What are you doing?Cameron: Feeling what it's like to get away from it all.John: I don't think you are.Cameron: What do you mean?John: If by feelings you mean emotions; I'm pretty sure you still don't have any of those. If by feeling you mean what it feels like to have the wind blow through your toes or your hair. <pause> I'm pretty sure you can't feel that either.
    Cameron: I don't think you understand how we work. <pause> I have sensation. I feel. I wouldn't be worth much if I couldn't feel.

  • Ellison: We need to learn how they work. How to fight them. <long pause> We can't allow history to repeat itself. Not when we have the power to stop it. It's up to us now. The two of us.
    Weaver: Yes, it is.

  • FBI Agent: "Computers don't lie"

  • Ellison to Catherin Weaver after she inspects Cromarties "lifeless" chassis that Ellison brought to her: It's up to us now - the two of us

    • Episode Trivia


    • Adam Busch had a recurring role as Warren in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    • "The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping."

      "What do you mean, I'm not helping?"

      "I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?"

      ~ Voigt Kampff test from Blade Runner

    • In the scene where the younger Charles Fischer is shown a list of names of people by FBI Agent Baldwin, the names of staff writers (Zack Stentz, Ashley Miller, Ian Goldberg) and executive producers (Josh Friedman, John Wirth) can be seen.

    • Executive Producers credits overlay was on Derek and Jesse. We can see Derek's face but we don't see Jesse's. Jesse was walking away from him.
