2x05 The Indicator
Miss Bristow goes to Washington. Let's hope the Alliance doesn't have any
Congressmen in its pocket. Or security guards or Congressional aides....
Since when do "secret agents" appear before Congressional committees?
Haven't they ever heard of "depositions"? Soon she'll be schmoozing on
This Week with George Stephanopolous. Oh, goody, another enemy! I
find it rather fitting that this enemy is called The Triad, since I
think "tri" entities are Very Bad Things indeed. Vaughn and Sydney actually
get to meet by themselves in the Warehouse of Love -- of course, Syd has to
ruin the opportunity by being hurtful to He Of The Good Instincts. Vaughn
gets a friend, and we get a lovely mental picture of Sweaty!Vaughn balling
on the court. And, yes, I do want a piece of that, Agent Vaughn,
thanks for asking. Vaughn refines his soda-based interrogation technique,
then fixes Jack with his Gaze of Disapproval. I always suspected that
children were evil -- now they're weapons, too? Sloane spills the murdering
beans to Jack. Vaughn has good timing with pages. Vaughn and Jack have an
"I know that you know that I know" stare-a-thon. Jack tries to deliver his
usual smackdown, but Vaughn trumps it with an ultimatum for his future
SpyDaddy-in-Law. Go, Ballsy!Vaughn, go! Syd gets tasered, but Kolokov gets
tasered more. Then she has a puzzling experience. (Anyone else expecting to
see that puzzle as the next immunity challenge on Survivor:
Thailand? I could totally see Mark Burnett as a shady Triad operative.)
Sloane apparently watches riots for amusement in his office. Do
"death-appearance" drugs really exist outside of fiction? SpyBarbie
remembers being SpySkipper and realizes that Christmas isn't all just fun
and games and ill-fitting sweaters. We're back to Square One with the
Syd/Jack relationship. But that's OK, because we get a real, honest-to-God,
Syd-Vaughn HUG! In the middle of the Not!CIA offices! With hair-stroking!
And Vaughn doesn't even say, "I told you so!" Sigh.
