This week, Ellison gets a visit from his doppelganger, evil filmmakers break into the Connor home base, and John’s girlfriend Riley (seen above) proves to be a total idiot.
Let’s get into it shall we?
Agent Ellison is attacked by a terminator wearing his likeness. Basically his evil twin comes to his doorstep to murder him. Luckily (or unluckily) Cromartie (the friendly terminator next door) stops the evil twin robot, telling Ellison that he has faith in him and predicting yet again that Ellison will lead to the Connors.
We hope not. The thought of broody Ellison taking the road to hell even though he’s paved it with all kinds of good intentions makes us sad.
The Connor troupe is robbed this week. They’re looted by some movie-making degenerates (one of whom happens to be played by The Ringers frontman, Joe Hursley). The film gang stole their IDs, credit cards, diamonds, and Cameron’s leather jacket. They shouldn’t have taken her jacket; it seemed to piss her off a bit.
While Mama Connor and robot Camie set off to hunt down the motley crew of writer/directors (gotta love Los Angeles) Cromartie catches the Connor scent through the halfway house where Cameron stayed when she had that brief internal malfunction. He tracks the Connors to their local grocery store then to their home where, despite John Connors efforts to get her to run, girlfriend Riley answers the door and bluffs until the robot goes away.
Riley, Riley, Riley. She was so cute when she was just the blond girl in Doc Martens. But now, it’s her fault the Connors get robbed (she left the security system off). And she brazenly confronts a robot at the Connor’s front door, even though John tries to tell her “No, girl, don’t go. Danger, Danger Will Robinson!” Then, she has the Hooksexup to make John call her a badass. If badass = kind of irritating and about to get him killed, then yes girl that’s you. You’re a badass.
So anyway, as John is narrowly escaping a quick and decisive neck-snap at the hands of a terminator, Cameron and Sarah track the film crew to a bowling alley, where Cameron makes them give back her leather jacket then shoots three of the four (obviously the sensible thing to do). Sarah, in a moment of weakness, spares the fourth kid. Of course, Cromartie finds the Last Mohican, and is beginning to wrench the Connor family’s whereabouts from his trembling lips as the episode ends. Doh!
