"I saw my mother," he said in an anguished whisper. "I saw her… I passed her on the street, and I didn't tell her. I didn't warn her…"
She wasn't sure if he meant in the dream, or he'd seen her earlier, but that didn't matter when she felt Derek was two seconds away from cracking right down the middle. She pushed closer, between his knees, to frame his face in both hands. "Listen to me: you won't have to warn her. We're going to change it. It's not going to happen. We won't let it. We will stop Judgment Day."
This section does so much. I love how it opens up Derek's vulnerability and we see Sara's determination with the reminder us of the mission they both share. What a perfect setup. And the rest was quite satisfying :)
