1.11 The Confession Jack: "Sydney, I was not that agent. Your mother was." No surprise in the opening scene: I was certain that Jack wouldn't sacrifice Russek to save Sydney, and then turn around and follow orders to kill her. Blinking Morse code was sort of spy-a-rific silly, though. But we did get some serious father-daughter spy bonding in Cuba. We learned that Jack didn't want Sydney to be a spy, and Sydney finally asked him why he didn't tell her about SD-6. It did make sense. I can't imagine a loving parent wanting their child to do what Sydney does. Sydney must know now that Jack really does love her, and when Vaughn told her about the codes in the book, she was not ready to believe it. I don't know why it never occurred to me that Sydney's mother was the KGB agent, not Jack, but it makes sense. Sydney has super, super spy genes, talent coming from both sides of the family. We also learned that William C. Vaughn was killed by whoever that KGB agent was. So -- Sydney's mother killed Vaughn's father; as melodramatic plots go, that one is a winner. And the CIA knew, all this time. Now Vaughn and Sydney know, too. What effect will it have on their non-relationship? Hassan had guts, faking Vaughn out that way in order to save his family. Good for him, even if he is a slimeball. Bits and pieces: -- Dixon is finally back. And he doesn't remember Sydney's mistake. Sydney got lucky. -- Weiss is back! I like Weiss. Cute and funny. -- We finally got to see Devlin. -- The Sydney and Vaughn meetings in that basement are starting to feel like a rendezvous. -- Does Will have a chance with Sydney after all? She did cry in his arms. -- The guy who tried to kill Sydney got fried. Instant karma's gonna get you. -- Even ickier than rubber gloves, that guy LICKED HER FACE. Yecch. How did they film that? Did the actor actually lick Jennifer Garner's face? -- The taxi was supposed to pick up Sydney at the northwest corner of Westwood and Wilshire. I go through that intersection pretty often. Sometimes it's fun being a fan girl living in L.A. -- This week's itinerary: Cuba, Athens, Crete. -- This week's cool gadget: a faked retina scan, wow. -- This week's hot look: that red fringe-y dress. Garner looks best in either black or red. Actually, she kinda looks good in everything, which is probably why she's a big TV star and all. That ending was just amazing. Gotta give it a four, Billie |
