It's Cameron's most amazing scene in my opinion. The other arc that's resolved by this scene is that after the safety and sanity of the old world is blasted away by the terminator, Sarah is forced to decide once and for all on Reese. She's left alone, in the dark, hiding under a desk. Reese is searching for her and she's frozen for a moment before she finally decides to trust him and responds to his call. This is why I say that T1 is James Cameron's greatest love story.
