it looks like we are pretty much on the same page when it comes to the series. :)
To me, that act seemed less like a malicious betrayal, more like a dangerous curiosity: Cameron trying to understand who she is and needing that glimpse of what she was in order to do it, Pandora and a box.
I agree, I have no concerns about Cameron betraying them. I think her demeanor, which we are suppose to interpret as somewhat sinister, is a result of her knowing she's disobeying orders and doing something she shouldn't. Even though they've retconned the character from the pilot, I still believe there is something different about Cameron. Are we even sure she was a model built by the machines? What if she was the first model created by humans? Though Derek seemed to recognize her in the future. Maybe it's just that she was reprogrammed differently. But I think this curiosity she has - who is she? how is she alike/different from those like her? - makes her unique.
I think Derek encountered his own reprogramming down in that basement. My guess is the machines were onto John's plans and decided to introduce their own sleeper cell. My question is will John and Sarah be faced with having to kill him? Derek is an interesting character (and, on a side note, this is the best performance I've seen Brian Austin Green give), but how long can they sustain a fourth wheel?
I think she was a reprogrammed model, though clearly something about her makes her capable of a level of self-reflection that might be unusual. How much of that is attributable to having to adapt to a human-dominated world is an open question at this point. But her curiosity is dangerous enough without active malice, since she's thinking like an individual, with individual wants, and that's not part of the original mission.
My question is will John and Sarah be faced with having to kill him?
That would be an interesting, and very heartbreaking, way for this to go.

So even among cyborgs this is a secret weapon.
