This was cool, but extremely weird - like, how much more memory "extraction" did the metal do to Allison and why did any of it get inherited by Cameron?

With this episode, and with the whole Shirley Manson arc, this season was setting up the idea that the machines have more complex personalities and motivations than than mere hunter-killers. Reminds me of the later seasons of the Battlestar Galactica reboot, when things got weird.
