Anyone who has seen the promo for the 15th, season two "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" knows that the main cast acts like shameless creeps and hits people up for information at a funeral.
The official "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Web site and TV.com provide overviews for "Desert Cantos," elaborating that Sarah (Lena Headey) and John Connor (Thomas Dekker), Cameron Phillips (Summer Glau) and Derek Reese (Brian Austin Green) go to a "company town" nearby the warehouse that Catherine Weaver (Shirley Manson) blew to pieces in "The Good Wound." The funeral is for the workers she killed T-1000-style before lighting the fuse.
Weaver decides to leave behind no loose ends, sending a minion to make sure no one survived, one of the overviews for the Feb. 20 episode shows.
Although it might sound like a run-of-the-mill story, "Desert Cantos" is worth watching to find out what is going in what is shown in the promo to be a creepy town of people who cannot say anything about the warehouse because they are under surveillance by secret cameras.
What the workers were building in that warehouse when they were alive, as well as the spacecraft-like object Sarah saw at the end of "Earthlings Welcome Here," likely plays a role in the answer.
Whoever is watching the townspeople might very well have been also keeping tabs on Eileen (Dinah Lenney), the transvestite UFO aficionado who was suddenly killed by an unknown person who knew exactly where to find her two episodes ago.
Remember that time travel can be a factor in the episode's premise, so that does not rule out SkyNet or its metallic lackeys as the culprits.
Or it might just end up being Weaver who is watching from the other end of the surveillance cameras. No sense in sending too many Terminators back in time, after all.
A time traveler herself, Leven Ramblin's Riley character is listed as being in the episode maybe to explain to John why she took off from the hospital or possibly to expose herself as complicit in everything that is going on. Her mission to keep John away from "her" is still not entirely clear.
Not clear either is what TV.com's overview and official promotional photos stills for the next episode say about what happens in "Desert Cantos." If anything, they indicate that SkyNet might be behind whatever was being built at the warehouse or that Sarah's vision of the three dots is something for which she seeks out psychiatric treatment.
