2.15 A Free Agent Vaughn: "When the hell did you have time to take a class this year?" It's the morning after for Sydney and Vaughn, with very little time for pillow talk. Good question -- when did she have time to take a class this year? Clearly, Sydney is not free and can't quit the CIA because Sloane is still on the loose; you could practically see her changing her mind throughout the episode even before the confrontation at the end. That phone call Sydney got from Sloane was chilling. Why did he tell her that he was behind bringing down the Alliance? Must be part of the master plan somehow, because Sloane never does anything without a reason. Dixon finally got some screen time, and wow, he's still majorly pissed at Sydney. He meant it when he said he never wanted to see her again. And now the poor guy now has to choose between his wife and his career, and it's not a simple choice; a man like Dixon must be thinking of all the bad he inadvertently did, and that he owes his country. It would be in character for Dixon to choose the job. Marshall is, predictably, having a ball now that he's part of the real CIA. He's such a fun character. I must admit I'm enjoying seeing him help the good guys for a change. A long time ago, people used to believe that the last thing a person saw before they died was imprinted on their retinas. The subplot with the intra-ocular retinal implant reminded me of that old belief, with the guy Sloane murdered actually being able to implicate his own murderer with his implant. And we got a closing cliffhanger; Sydney is now Sloane's prisoner. This can't be good. Bits and pieces: -- Christian Slater had a smaller part than Ethan Hawke's, but it looks like it may continue to the next episode. I wonder if this Caplan guy is going to be able to assemble the Rambaldi artifacts for Sloane. If he does, what sort of weapon will Sloane have? -- How about Kendall blackmailing Sydney to stay in the CIA by threatening to remove her access to Irina? ("Legally, he's right. Ethically, he's an ass.") -- Irina said that Jack had told her about Sydney's success. Is Jack visiting Irina regularly, now? Hmmmm? -- According to this episode, Sloane's obsession with Rambaldi goes back to when Sloane was in the Army Corps of Engineers and was told to study a Rambaldi manuscript. -- Sloane has bought a Tuscan villa, and is planning to stash Emily there. -- Propeller scene, ick. I hate bloody propeller scenes. -- This week's itinerary: Mojave desert; Zurich, Switzerland. Pretty good. Three out of four spies, Billie |
