Sarah gets a call from Andy Goode, the guy whose house she blew up when she realized his computer-Turk-would be in Skynet's future, and finds out he made a new one that's being entered in a chess contest with Japan with the winning country getting a contract with the military. With John and Cameron in tow, Sarah watches as the American picked by Goode seems to be winning but at the last minute the Japanesse woman wins by default. At school, Cameron asks John about all the notes the girl who committed suicide, Jordan, is getting. He replies, "Somtimes crying's not enough." Cromartie, in the form of an FBI agent that he killed, arrives at Charley's house asking about Sarah Conner. Charley explains he knows a Sarah Resse not a Sarah Conner. After the agent leaves his card, his wife Michelle says she knows by his "tell" when he's lying. So he tells her the truth about seeing John when he broke in while she was gone. After Andy got angry at his partner for losing, he later turns up dead as Sarah discovers him as such just after seeing someone come from his room accidentally hitting her. She then confronts him knocking him down just as some cops arrest him. Later, when she goes to his cell in disguise, she finds out from him he's her former lover's, and John's father's, brother Derek. Back at school, the guidance counselor asks Cameron about Jordan since Cameron is the last person Jordan saw. He gets Jordan's last words from her in Jordan's own voice that must have given him some chills. He then lets her go. After Sarah gets Derek out of jail, another Terminator breaks in his door and finds him gone leading to a chase that climaxes this episode. Needless to say, Cameron defeats the Terminator after he loses him arm and gets a button in his head screwed off. She also tries to fix the wound the Terminator shot on Derek who initially resists because of what she is before Sarah says, "She's on our side." The wound is too big so Sarah tries to use her tazer to find the nearest doctor but John goes instead and finds Charley who appears stunned at seeing Sarah before working on Derek...This was a very exciting episode with a tighter plot and more interesting characterization. I am also impressed at the development of Agent Ellison with his finding that Terminator's hand near the end of this episode. Also, how cool is it seeing former "Beverly Hills, 90210" player Brian Austin Green as Derek? The stubble on him pretty much made me forget he was once David Silver. Also, it was once again cool to see Sonya Walger-Penny on "Lost"-as Charley's wife Michelle. Hope her character doesn't die too soon. And it was nice to see Cameron become a little more human first by trying to get Sarah to write her feelings about Andy's death by offering her a pencil (of course, Sarah breaks them!), then seeing Cameron herself sitting at a desk with paper on them. And that chase that I referred to was the most exciting I've seen on this series so far! So in summary, Queen's Gambit was the best episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" I've seen right now. Until next time...
