This is why people own Strunk & White. The entire sentence needs rebuilding almost from the ground up. It likely ought to read:
"FYI, Terminator, the Sarah Connor Chronicles, Season 2 episode 13, ends as follows.
A minor character tries to explain, to an AI connected to a body eminently capable of committing homicide, and did homicide through negligence, why it shouldn't kill people."
Clarity is style.
