Terminator Zero - Model 102

While suggesting creating an unsympathetic artificial intelligence to stop the rise of a separate unsympathetic artificial intelligence may have not been the smartest move to save the human race, "Model 102" gets Eiko (Sonoya Mizuno) back to 1997 to track down Malcolm Lee (André Holland) and prevent him from helping create the hellscape of her reality in 2022. The twist in the early part of the series is the scientist's big dreams of stopping Skynet with his own AI apparently only help bring about the disastrous future of the Terminators.

The other piece of the episode stays with the Lee children when Reika (Gideon Adlon) runs away to protect her new robotic cat from her brothers (who race after her) and her father threatening to give it away. Foreshadowing the next series of events, Eiko realizes that the children might be used by the Terminator to control the scientist's actions and enlists the help of the Lee's housekeeper (Sumalee Montano) to find them.
