1.14 The Coup

Will: "Who the hell lives a double life like that? Seriously?"

Real life and spy life collided, as Francie and Charlie crashed Syd's mission in Las Vegas. Charlie was cheating, and Francie and Charlie are over. And I still don't care.

This episode introduced Mr. Sark, who works for "The Man." In this episode, the very young, cute, and brutal Mr. Sark assassinated the head of FTL in Hong Kong, and then the head of K-Directorate in Moscow. He and/or "The Man" have a huge thing for Rambaldi, specifically Rambaldi's journal, much like everyone else in Alias-Spyworld. I'm assuming we'll learn who "The Man" is, sooner or later, since we keep hearing about him.

In this week's father/daughter bonding moment, Sydney acknowledged that she may have gone to grad school only because she thought her mother was a lit professor. Jack uncharacteristically opened up to Sydney about his wife, and also uncharacteristically, encouraged her to stay in school. These two may actually be on their way to a real, honest-to-goodness relationship. Jack is trying very hard, and it certainly isn't easy for him.

In this week's cliffhanger, Sydney is again literally hanging in the air, being shot at.

Bits and pieces:

-- The Sydney/Vaughn romantic vibes are getting heavy. Vaughn wants to date, huh?

-- Will: "What the hell is SD-6?"

-- Will is still with little Jenny. What can he be thinking? (Sydney: "Did the Clinton administration teach you nothing?")

-- SD-6 (and Sloane!) gave Syd a little impromptu party for saving SD-6. How weird is that?

-- That prick Haladki didn't win, since Vaughn is still Sydney's handler.

-- The romantic Sydney/Vaughn scene was filmed at one of my favorite L.A. places, the Griffith Observatory.

-- This week's itinerary: Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Moscow.

-- This week's cool gadget: A razor prism.

-- This week's hot look: The silver showgirl look. Woo-hoo! Dixon looked a little like Rick James with all that hair, though.

Three out of four spies,

Billie
