"Ive not read every post, so maybe I might repeat what has been posted.

I am uncertain about Chola (name, or gang description) She could be a friendlly T. When she and Cameron sized each other up, they could have ben scanning. The writers, wanting to keep the identity of Chola a secret for now, would not have shown the usual HUD.

Those who may think "too many Terminators around" should remember that it makes strategic sense to Skynet to have them in place in diferent locations, and different times - to "head JC off at the pass" in as many ways as possible. Like a game of chess, manoeuvring your pieces into tactically and strategically strong positions, ready for the counter-move.We know Skynet can play.

Chola's turning up at the Connors'. She knew where to go, and was too impassive about the blood, even for a hardened gang girl. She was too laid back aboout the deaths; again, even for a gang-girl in shock.

Cameron's - do I have to kill you now was more than just a question. it could also have been - Are you with us? Or do we have to fight it out?

It's a tough one. If she turns out to be a T, I won't be surprised. Interesting to know the real deal. Her character, though wordless, has grabbed attention. There has to be a reason, which I hope the writers will supply."

"Chola is a woman. She is a female member of the gang. While she is not the gang leader she is an important member, probably Carlos' girl. She is not a "gangsta bitch" as another poster suggested, rather she is a fully initiated member who has some very important roles. She is a mule, she carries for the Cholos because the beat cops aren't going to quick search her, in a sense she has immunity. She is the gatekeeper, she is studious in ignoring everyone not a member until the say the right thing. Her silence is studied and intended to be intimidating. She is the one who watches and looks for tells during meetings. She is the tail, following anyone the gang is unsure of, she blends in, she is quiet, because of her gender she is not perceived as a threat.
The second time we see her, it is her actions that show is more than anything else that Cameron and Sarah are accepted as what they are because she is applying makeup to the Tin Miss.
With Ellison she is obviously in on the conversation and performing her role as observer.
She is walking back to the house when ozzie and secret asian man arrive and she lays back, her job now is to watch for trouble and payback the enemy if anything goes wrong. When it does she tails them, to Sarah's to wi-Fi'ed 4. It is Chola Cameron and John drive into the garage and shut the doors. She goes to the Connor's because Sarah brought the crap down and she owes a major debt.
After She drops them off after killing the Sarkasian decoy their is no longer business between them. Cameron's "Do I have to kill you now?" Is not a threat as much as reminder, as if Chola needs it, of the cost of being a snitch. Cameron's handing over the weapon is a sign of trust and respect, as well as peace offering. Cameron's glance through the window just a way of dismissing her."

"First of all, I believe Chola is a different kind of Terminator more along the lines of a protector. Sent by future John to protect Enrique.

"She's probably the hottest woman in Hollywood right now."
