An electromagnetic weapon deactivates advancing Screamers
Orsow uses an electromagnetic weapon against a group of machines, shutting them down without conventional destruction.
Guy is revealed as a Screamer hybrid
After the survivors reach orbit, the apparently human Guy is revealed to have become one of the evolved machines.
A weapon destroys a surrogate and kills its operator
The investigation begins after a human-looking surrogate is destroyed by an unusual weapon and the normally protected human operator dies at the same moment.
Greer's surrogate is destroyed during the pursuit
During the pursuit of the killer, the helicopter pilot's surrogate is destroyed and Greer disconnects from his own surrogate just before the aircraft crashes. His robotic body is subsequently disabled.
The surrogate network is shut down
The climax threatens every surrogate connected to the worldwide network. Greer prevents the human operators from being killed but allows the robotic surrogate bodies to be disabled, leaving people to emerge physically into the outside world.
A magnetic mine exposes Marcus's endoskeleton
Marcus is badly wounded by a mine designed to attack machines. Treatment exposes the metal endoskeleton and circuitry beneath human skin.
Connor shows Marcus his hybrid body
John and Kate demonstrate that Marcus has a machine endoskeleton and partially artificial cerebral cortex even though Marcus remembers himself as human.
Marcus interfaces directly with Skynet
Inside the Skynet facility Marcus connects his machine systems to the network and initially disables perimeter defences.
Marcus tears out Skynet's control hardware
After learning he was engineered as bait, Marcus physically removes the hardware linking his artificial systems to Skynet.
Marcus tears the T-800's head off
During the final fight Marcus attacks the prototype Terminator and destroys it by physically removing the machine's head.
John opens Cameron's chest covering
Cameron asks John to cut through her outer tissue and touch the metal power supply inside.
Cameron's endoskeleton is exposed
Heavy gunfire tears through the living covering and leaves the machine body visibly damaged.
Cameron is found deactivated with her chip removed
John discovers Cameron's lifeless body after she gives her processor to John Henry.
The girl reveals that she is a cyborg
After saving Jiro from the restaurant shooting, the apparently human woman shows him a recorded message from his future self explaining that she is a cyborg built specifically to protect him.
The cyborg is destroyed in the Tokyo earthquake
The cyborg returns to rescue Jiro during the catastrophic earthquake. Her strength is insufficient to save herself and her body is destroyed while protecting him.
Jiro recovers the cyborg's torso
After the earthquake Jiro digs through the ruins and recovers the remaining cyborg torso. He spends decades reconstructing her and eventually succeeds.
FRAN is created as a human-form Replicator
McKay's Replicator machine produces a fully functional human-looking female artificial body.
FRAN carries out her programmed purpose
The gynoid evaluates McKay's calculations and volunteers for the nanite-attraction mission.
FRAN draws the Asuran collective inward
Her body acts as the nucleus that pulls Replicator cells together until the Asuran world is destroyed.
Weir occupies Atlantis computer systems
A disembodied artificial consciousness identifies itself as Elizabeth Weir after taking control of city systems.
Weir reconstructs a physical body
The consciousness uses the stored FRAN template to create a new human-looking body for itself.
Replicator minds are downloaded into bodies
Atlantis manufactures restricted model Replicator bodies so the stranded minds can return to physical existence.
The Replicator group is trapped in space
Weir helps send herself and the others through a spacegate, isolating them from Atlantis.
Cameron believes she is Allison
The malfunction leaves Cameron convinced that she is a human girl from Palmdale.
John identifies the chip malfunction
John tells Cameron directly that she is a machine and that her chip is still damaged.
The Allison identity is exposed as an infiltration template
Cameron's memories reveal the real Allison being interrogated so her identity can be copied.
Cameron's chip integrity is compromised
Cameron removes debris from her head and internally registers processor damage.
Cameron is electrically disabled
Sarah and John shock the rogue Terminator unconscious.
John removes Cameron's chip
With Cameron pinned between vehicles, John physically removes the processor from her head.
Cameron reboots after chip reinsertion
John puts the processor back and the kill directive is replaced by a termination override.
Weir's nanites are linked to the Asuran network
McKay manipulates the machines inside Weir so they can remotely access the Replicator mainframe.
McKay reactivates the Wraith-attack command
A dormant command in Asuran base code is altered and uploaded to the Replicator collective.
Replicators are disintegrated
Human-form Replicators caught in the anti-Replicator field break apart.
The team learns they are Replicator duplicates
The characters discover that their bodies and environment were manufactured by rogue Asurans from copied memories.
The duplicates meet the originals
The artificial team contacts the real Atlantis crew, placing visually identical human and Replicator versions together.
The duplicate team is destroyed
The Replicator copies sacrifice themselves while diverting Oberoth's attack.
Jute and DeeCee are transported together
Human prisoner Jute is placed in custody alongside DeeCee, establishing the social divide between humans and androids and the machine nature of his reluctant travelling companion.
DeeCee develops independent emotion
During the escape and journey through the wasteland, DeeCee increasingly displays empathy and emotional responses that go beyond the behaviour expected of the dominant machine society.
Jute and DeeCee uncover the android extermination plan
The pair discover that the leadership of the machine-controlled world is planning to eliminate the remaining human population, forcing DeeCee to choose between his own kind and his developing moral judgement.
Caprica Six awakens in a replacement body
After dying during the fall of the Colonies, Caprica Six is restored in another physically identical body.
