Summary:
Syd is going to turn her father in for what he did. She doesn't want to hear any excuse or reasoning as to why he did what he did. The Senators decide to give Irina the death penalty despite the fact she didn't violate her immunity agreement.

Vaughn wants to investigate the KGBs project Christmas, but Devlin says he can't spare anyone to do it. So he goes to Will and asked him to look into it. Will needs the money and takes the job.

Jack tries to talk to Sydney again, but Sydney shuts him up. She tells him she feels that Jack considers her his biggest mistake. Sydney was born because Jack was naive, so she's the result of his greatest mistake. Jack is floored by this. It's all very sad.

Syd and Jack go to Geneva hospital to get a sample of the top secret virus that affected the man with blood in his fingernails. They're almost caught in the hospital but they fight their way out.

Meanwhile, Sloane is still going crazy.

Syd and Vaughn meet and he tells her she did good work in Geneva. He tells her he hired Will for some recon work, and Syd is grateful to him.

Some doctors contact Sydney about her possible exposure to the virus. They have to be tested immediately. They sleep together in a cell while awaiting the results of the medical exams and hold each other closely. Vaughn watches her sleep. Sydney is about to tell Vaughn something important, but they're interrupted by the doctor. Syd is cleared the next day, but Vaughn's test is inconclusive and they need to test him more. Sydney is worried about him.

Jack voluntarily turns himself in, and when asked why he did, he said because he loved Sydney so much is killed him to think that she felt like a mistake to him. H says he's so proud of her and when he sees her, he sees one of the most extraordinary human beings he's ever had the priviledge of knowing. He needed to prove to her that despite his limited abilities as a father, he loves her more than he could ever say. Syd is watching this on closed-circuit tv, teary eyed.

Vaughn is cleared of the virus and he contacts her to tell her that not only is Jack being arrested, but despite clearing Irina of wrongdoing, they're carrying out her execution anyway. So Sydney kidnaps the Senator in charge of the hearing and lies in order to get him to let Jack and Irina go. Irina is returned to CIA custody and Jack is back in the office.

Sloane unearth's Emily's grave only to find it empty.

In Vaughn's apartment, he's shaving before work when he looks down and sees his fingernails are bleeding.
