Episode 3, The Turk, of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles aired last Monday. The show seems to be on a decline in viewership, this time fetching #3 for the timslot (one rank lower than last week) and #4 for the night (same as last week). There were over 8.6 million people who watched it, so even though it’s less than last week, the show is still going strong.

In this episode, Sarah tries to track down the future creators of Skynet, which leads her to Andy Goode, a cell phone sales man, who works on a computer named “The Turk” in his spare time. Sarah does not want to kill Andy, though Cameron thinks he should die; instead, Sarah sets fire to his house in an attempt to destroy The Turk. In the meantime, John and Cameron visit their new school. For reasons I’m unsure of, a girl is pressed to commit suicide; John wants to save her, but Cameron insists he does not. While all this happens, Cromartie is rebuilding himself with a new formula for synthetic skin, making him more humanoid.
After watching the episode, I was confused on a few things. What was it in the door that the girl at the school found so devastating that she killed herself? Is it relevant to the plot at all? In previous episodes, how did Cromartie’s head travel through time - or, for that matter, how did Cameron? Perhaps this is obvious, but why did Cromartie take the doctor’s eyes? It appeared to me that his terminator eyes could do the job based on the screencap at the end.
