The highlights of this episode:

No!Augh: He's dead and will forever remain a Tool.

Sydney: Hazelton Publishers needs to hire someone to write a book just for her. They could call it "Warrior Women Who Do Too Much and Who Don't Get Sufficiently Freaked Out When They Discover They've Had Sex with a Psycho Hose Beast." Nope. No freaking out from Syd. Just a whole lot of crying over the fact that she doesn't know whom to trust anymore. Whatever.

Vaughn: He wore cool outfits…for the office and adventure. We got sweat, we got stubble, and we got manly man. He has great spy toys. He spoke French and I swear I'm still recovering. Life is good. Vaughn is a God. Why doesn't Sydney ever notice?

Arvin Sloane: His dying wife knows he's not a banker and still working in intelligence. For SD-6. She's proud of him. She needs to be eliminated. Or so The Alliance thinks. Arvin is beside himself and won't allow this to happen. Ever hear that turn about is fair play, Uncle Arvin? What you reap, you sow. Or something to that effect. Too bad because Emily's very likeable, even if she's out of touch with who her husband really is and now has a contract on her dying head.

Francie: She doesn't like rats and knows just how to manipulate Will. I think Francie and Will should have a torrid love affair, get married and have a few kids. They're so cute together.

Will: That ass kicking he got several episodes ago must have jogged some sense into him. He was very likeable and smart enough that it didn't scare me. J.J's master plan for Will to be accepted must be working.

Jack: Will is afraid of him. I loved how Jack said, "Focus, Mr. Tippin."

So who's the Tool?

"I never really loved you. I never loved you back. I never even liked you. I only wanted sex. Cry baby." Jann Arden

I've really been giving this a lot of thought since Sunday night and in all honesty Spy Barbie hasn't quite redeemed herself. After discovering No!Augh was the biggest loser around, I can certainly understand her needing time to pull herself together. You know, go see her gynecologist and make sure she doesn't have any cooties. That kind of stuff. But when she just had to share, with Vaughn, her grief - not disgust or shock or horror or utter embarrassment - about dead No!Augh, I just kept thinking 'what the hell!?' Like, you're such a Tool, Syd. Make an appointment with Dr. Barnett and maybe she can help you work through that insensate maze you call a brain.

In the end, however, all that matters is we had two Action!Vaughn missions in one episode and the ex-boyfriend from hell is dead…hopefully never to be resurrected.
