She's limping, but, worse than that, the good part of her program, the Terminator override in her chips, has been stunned into silence by the exploding car. Which means, Cameron is just another Terminator now, bent on killing John Connor.
Which she almost does, in a gut punching first scene. When John and Sarah finally get the drop on her, after all kinds of other bruising sequences, Cameron pleads with John not to kill her - saying she knows John loves her and she loves John, and she's back to normal.
Was she lying? Well, not about being back to her good self. We see this when she doesn't kill John, and we see that her interior override of the bad Terminator program is back in play.
And the love? Well, whatever Derek Reese may say, I'm thinking Cameron may really be now feeling some love for John, as another result of her recent explosive experiences...
Meanwhile, it's good to see Lena Headey, Summer Glau and Thomas Dekker back in action. And Richard T. Jones as Agent Ellison, too.... I think there's a lot more to why Cromartie left him alive.

My interpretation was that she was evil when John yanked out her chip but that he managed to fix it in the interim before reactivating her. He did seem to be working on it. (I realize that with a modern microchip, this would be ludicrous, but apparently future chip technology is so advanced that a broken microprocessor can be fixed with a screwdriver.)
Heym TVindy - welcome back!
You may well be right - but I'm a sucker for declarations of love, almost every time...
Yeah, I figured the love declaration, together with Cameron's never-before-seen fear of death, was what clued John in to the fact that she was still malfunctioning. What she said could be true, though.
No excitement over the shape shifting terminator? I was hoping one of those would show up.
Yeah, it was nice to see that model back in action, now that you mention it...
