2.21 Second Double Kendall: "Now you're just mocking me." Jack: "Yes." Shuddery episode. The Sydney/Francie scenes were totally creepy, and Francie setting Will up to take the fall for her was inspired. I was bummed at the beginning when I thought Will was going to be tortured again, and glad it didn't happen that way. I was also waiting for the obvious during the ambush on the road -- for Will to be captured by Sark's guys, or for Will to prove his innocence by helping Dixon. Instead Will defended himself and got away. Go, Will. Will said: "Syd, I love you, but I can't trust you any more. Meeting you destroyed my life." He has a point; poor Will has been victimized two years in a row. If there are innocent bystanders suffering in this story, it's Will and Francie. Will has been through so much terrible stuff, extreme torture, arrest, losing his career, and all he ever did to deserve it was become Sydney's friend. The real Francie was murdered for the same reason. Kendall showed some very interesting hostility toward Sydney throughout. He said to her at first, "I'm getting bored with your hunches." Later, he said to Jack, "We can't keep letting your daughter's personal relationships take precedence." What's going on there? Is he just pissed at Jack for "taking his parking space" or is there more going on? The Sloane/Jack scene at the outdoor cafe was delightful. ("I've missed your poker face.") Sloane seemed different, much calmer, not visibly grief-stricken any more. Whatever he learned in Nepal must have changed him. Irina said that Sloane believed he was "chosen." But we didn't get an explanation. The Vaughn moments were even better, if that's possible, and Vartan got to do some fun stuff. I got a kick out of Sydney spraying Vaughn with champagne for his "cover," and the way he smirked at her when they decided to go get Dr. Jurgens at the leather club. I also thought the "Hello, honey." "Hello, dear," when they had Dr. Jurgens tied up was very cute. Bits and pieces: -- There was an interesting parallel here. Last season, Jack didn't want Will killed, for Sydney's sake. This season, Irina did the same thing. -- Nothing quite like having hyour employer find tapes of you having sex. -- Looks like Will was in the same cell as Irina and Elsa. I guess that makes sense. How many cells are they going to have? -- When Sydney kissed Jack, he almost smiled. I saw it. -- Jack: "I'm not cut out for management, anyway." -- Another Ford Focus ad. Sorry, I love "Alias," but I have no desire to own a Ford Focus. -- This week's itinerary: Berlin and Marseilles. -- This week's hot look: The dominatrix outfit was pretty far out there (Vaughn: "I'm glad I'm not the one in leather." Syd: "You'd look cute in a teddy"). I have to give this episode four stars just for the scene in the leather club. (The rest of the episode was excellent, too.) Billie |
