When a man named Martin Bedell is murdered Derek is concerned; Martin Bedell was the name of one of the key resistance fighters
Derek is convinced that a terminator is going to kill all the people named Martin Bedell in LA to ensure he gets the right one. There were three such people; one is now dead, one is at military school and another is just a child. In order to protect the one at school John is enrolled and Derek finds himself offered a job; this puts then in the ideal position to protect Martin but the military environment causes Derek to have flashbacks to his time in the war. Meanwhile Sarah and Cameron protect the young boy; they manage to save him just before the terminator can kill him and now Sarah must act like a mother till it is safe to return him to his real family. Away from the Connors Agent Ellison is still thinking about taking up Catherine Weaver's offer of a job; as part of that consideration he helps her by looking into the 'accident' at the nuclear plant.
This was another good episode where the action was mostly divided between protecting the two Martins. It was nice to see a more normal motherly side to Sarah for once as she was forced to look after the boy. Back at school there was some decent action when the terminator turned up; this included shooting it with a .50" calibre rifle and blasting it with claymores! I rather liked how this action scene was carried out while Sarah and young Martin read from 'The Wizard of Oz'. The acting was pretty solid although I thought Brian Austin Green gave the stand out performance when Derek tells the students a rather grim anecdote about the realities of war after one of the boys started asking him how many people he had killed as if war was just a game. The side story involving Ellison and Weaver is still at an early stage I think but it is progressing nicely; she is a delightfully mysterious character we know she is a terminator but her mission and motivation remain unknown.
