I'm looking forward to seeing what consequences Sarah's arrest has. This is the first time she's been on the grid for years. Skynet could now know where and when to send Terminators after her in an attempt to find John. Water Man may redirect his efforts as well, now that he knows who he saw at the Weaver house.

That's actually a bigger question: where did water man come from? All the water guys in grey overalls are apparently working for Koliba, the company who owned the "air conditioning" factory. It seems that the other AI is running Koliba but only got plans for the endos by accessing John Henry. So why is there an endo working for Koliba? Did SkyNet send one back to help itself?

Though I realise it's a paradox, it could be as simple as skynet using her arrest to determine when she'd be at Weaver's house and sent a Terminator to be there before she was arrested.
As for John Henry, just making him angry won't be enough spark off JD, at least not in the way it originally happened. The first JD happened under rather specific circumstances. John Henry isn't hooked into NORAD with a fully automated missile system and unmanned stealth bombers. The worse he could do is crash every system connected to the net.

For now. But he could somehow gain more control later. And what would happen if he comes to the conclusion that humans don't value human life which he comes to believe is sacred?
And the endo that came to the weaver house was dressed in grey overalls and was using the water delivery guy MO like the other Koliba goons. He's got to be connected to Koliba somehow. Or at least, that would seem to be what they're implying.

I'm pretty sure the Pentagon is clever enough to keep their nuclear launch systems on physically isolated systems. No matter how clever an AI is it can't magically control electronics without some kind of physical circuit. That was one of the things that really bothered me about T3, when the T-X could remotely control cars. I can accept that it could wirelessly communicate with nanites or a small amount of MPA it injected into the car's onboard electronics, but how the bloody hell is it supposed to be able to change gear, release the hand break and operate the accelerator? Last time I checked those were purely mechanical controls!

I know right? Good way to keep the series in limbo or make it end on an ironic note. See, protecting him was no longer relevant since time's so fucked up he no longer exists!

Oh, and the "eight years since the explosion in the bank vault" line was definitely used in this episode. Sloppy.
It could be that he's appeared in the very earliest days of the resistance, and will now go on to make his name as their Messiah - hell, their Kwisatz Haderach, the parallels seem apt. John Connor as Paul Muad'Dib?
