Sydney is holding the nuclear weapon's plutonium core in her hand, when Hassan catches her — and puts a gun to her head. Using the core as a distraction, she knocks Hassan out, and dodges soldiers' bullets as she escapes.
Upon return, her Sloane sends Sydney and Dixon to Madrid to steal a lockbox, containing a sketch with what appears to be digital code...drawn in the late 15th century by a seer, named Milo Rambaldi. There are two sketches, containing the entire code, only when seen together...and SD-6 needs the second one. However, a rival Russian agency is also after the sketch, and Sydney discovers that she is up against her deadly K-Directorate rival, Anna Espinosa, whom we identify now by the eye tattoo on her hand.
In secret, Sydney meets Vaughn along the Santa Monica pier, and tells him about the sketch...but Vaughn also informs her that he's been taken off of her case, and a senior officer has been assigned in his place.
In Madrid, Sydney visits a show at the Auto Museo, where the box is hidden, while Dixon monitors outside in a van. She discovers that Anna is also there who, one step ahead, has the lockbox. After an intense fight, Sydney gains possession of the box.
Back home, Will is still curious about Danny's murder...But after requesting surveillance footage from traffic cameras around Danny's former apartment on the night of the murder, he discovers that all of these cameras went out within a mile of the apartment on precisely that night.
Later, he and Sydney get a little drunk after an evening out, and later at her apartment, a playful moment turns into a kiss — and a moment of shocking discomfort for them both.
Meanwhile, Francie leaks that she and boyfriend Charlie haven't been intimate in a while and that she is worried. Sydney suggests it's because he's been busy...until Francie discovers that he had no law review the previous night. When Charlie assures Francie that he is not having an affair, she is satisfied, until later discovering a matchbook with a woman's name and phone number.
Back at SD-6, Marshall cannot open the lockbox, and if he forces it open, a concealed piece of technology inside will destroy the sketch. Knowing that Anna has the key to the lockbox, Sloane arranges with K-Directorate for Sydney to meet Anna in Berlin, open the box and view the sketch together. Sloane knows that K-Directorate doesn't know that there are two sketches that make the entire code.
Sydney immdediately dislikes Seth Lambert, Vaughn's replacement, and orders him to get Vaughn back on the case … or no results!
Arriving in Berlin, Sydney is wearing a CIA wire, and is relieved to hear Vaughn's voice. Both SD-6 and K-Directorate have positioned snipers in the stadium, in case of a double-cross. Sydney meets with Anna and exchanges words...an intense psychological game is always at play. But when Anna opens the lockbox, both agents are horrified, as a sizzling sound emits from inside.

This episode sees a change in the Syd/Vaughn relationship with her getting him promoted :thumbsup:. Love Vaughn moaning to Weiss at the CIA :lol:.
And the introduction of Anna as someone who looks like she could be Sydney's match.
And the revalation that Jack isn't being honest with Sydney about her mother.

In a Virginia cemetery, Sydney finds a tombstone with the contact's name, Ivanov, on it. Digging up the grave, she finds the seventh nuclear device, rigged to the coffin lid. She calls a panicked Marshall, who helps her disarm it with only a two minute warning.
Angry, Vaughn informs Sydney that SD-6 has sold the device to Ineni Hassan in Cairo, a known arms dealer. Since Sydney knows Hassan, she volunteers to make the trip and get the bomb back; making sure that SD-6 doesn't know that she's going there. Back at the CIA, Davenport tells Vaughn that he's being pulled off of the Bristow case because Devlin, the boss, wants a more senior officer assigned.
Meanwhile, Sydney and a male CIA operative go to Cairo. When Sydney finds the bomb, she quickly dismantles it and grabs its bright green plutonium core — only she's stopped by a gun-wielding Hassan. |
Isn't this from then end of 1x02?
Loved the whole Good vs. Evil, Sydney vs. Anna bit , with Sydney as the ` Good, actually turned out to be Bad, now pretending to be ` Bad ` while really being Good `agent.
Ah, the Sloane mission briefing ; is it just me, or does the Muller Device look like a toilet seat with legs ? :huh: :lmao:
I think this is the only episode in which you get to see Donovan, a.k.a The Dog :lol:

Once you notice it, it`s impossible not to, if you see what I mean. :rolleyes:
Like noticing that someone on Tv has sticky-out ears, it`s all you can focus on ! :blink:

It was, I copied and pasted it without checking :blush: , ABC.com must have it wrong. Have edited it now ;) .
Enjoyed this one again - think I am going to love this prog!
Love how she dissed Vaughn's placement and got him a promotion. Things are really starting to gel together now and I can see how the storyline os going to keep changing and keeping you on your toes.
