1.6 Reckoning Jack: "What you think you know, you don't know." There was a lot of plot in this one. The biggest development was that Jack is now working directly with Sydney -- no more airplane parts for Jack. The angst about Sydney's mother continued, with Sydney suspecting Jack had something to do with her mother's death. And Sydney went undercover as a lunatic in a Romanian insane asylum, an intensely creepy place, to smoke out a programmed assassin who didn't know he was an assassin. (Are asylums in Bucharest really that bad?) In the Kate Jones who died in 1973 and is actually Sydney saga, Eloise Kurtz, who lives at 223 Whitley Place, Hollywood, and has pepper spray, finally admitted that she pretended to be Kate Jones for money. And promptly disappeared. Bet she's dead. And finally, Charlie wasn't unfaithful after all. He'd just started a singing career. The fluff with the bar and the singing just felt discordant, pardon the pun, compared to the rest of the episode: the heaviness of what Dixon did in Badenweiler, the asylum, the funerals, etc. It was hard for me to get involved in the trivia of Francie's romantic life when Sydney's life is so overwhelming. This week's cliffhanger: Sydney was trapped in an asylum in Romania, and her backup has been killed. Bits and pieces: -- The explanation/teaser at the beginning has changed; although it's much the same, ID photos have been added. -- We saw photos of Mom. Mom looked a lot like Sydney. -- Vaughn shared the fact that his father, an agent, died when Vaughn was eight. Sydney is not the only one who has lost a parent tragically. -- The CIA was still getting info through SD-6's back door, until Marshall noticed something wrong with the computer network. And now Sloane believes there is a mole. Uh-oh. -- Sydney to Jack: "Every time I think I know just how awful you are, I learn something worse." Is Sydney being fair to Jack? -- Will's sister Amy with the magenta hair is back. -- This week's itinerary: More Badenweiler; London; Romania. -- This week's hot look: That green piece of nothing Sydney wore in London. I particularly liked the accessories: green heels, glasses, bag, ring, the works. -- This week's cool gadget: a bug that actually looked like a bug. -- This week's language skills: Sydney speaks Romanian, too. Two out of four spies, Billie |
