Vick's Chip is an interesting appetizer of "Terminator: The Sarah Conor Chronicles" for the next and last episode of the season

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This episode, Vick's Chip, was the first of a two-hour season finale to air. Derek finds the chip that Cameron took from the Terminator leaving Sarah and John expressing doubts about her intentions. Cameron declares she just wanted to find info about Vick that may provide more clues about how to destroy Skynet. So John watches on his computer screen the POV from Vick concerning his wife Barbara who was an employer in charge of a traffic system that led to the Skynet's creation. Since Barbara is later seen on the chip recording as being murdered, Sarah orders for her body's search in the woods. The corpse found there is not her but someone else who was against the renovations. Sarah and Derek go underground to try to sabotage the traffic lights but are caught by cops so they run for their lives. Later, Derek and John take Cameron's chip to the traffic source and successfully cause a jam delaying any possibility for Skynet to form. Oh, two more things here: Sarah reveals to Derek that she knows he murdered Andy and if he lies to her again she'll kill him and Cromartie, still disguised as an FBI agent named Laslo, is diverted in his search for John Connor by Cameron using John's friend as the one who identifies himself as his alias name...Pretty good if not great episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" that provided a nice backstory about this Vick and his attempts to get what he was ordered for before killing his "wife" when all was accomplished. Interesting contrast between Sarah who worries about people dying for their causes and Cameron who dismisses the corpse in the woods as "meat and bones". With that, let's go on the the next episode...
