Oops Center. Dix, Killjoy, and Syd are just standing around the water cooler, rehashing the previous events for those of us who were undergoing laser eye surgery during the past twenty minutes. Sloane turned in Bomani. Sark released Bomani. Bomani and Sark get Sloane. Helloooo? Anyone there? Helloooo? Syd's all, well, hopefully Bomani's got his revenge and Sloane's either maimed, burned, battered, buttered, fried, tarred, feathered, fractured, and/or dead. Dix is all, uh, yeah. Okay. Briefing in my office in an hour. He leaves.
Syd sort of snaps some orders Killjoy's way and starts to walk off. Killjoy stops her and basically just drools and gibbers and globbers all over Syd with apologies and pure, unadulterated admiration and lust. I'm not kidding. She's all, I was SO out of line on the plane last night. I know it's going to be difficult, but I really want this to work. Especially if I get to ride around in speeding cars with you and shoot out car windows and squeal tires and shit. Because that is WICKED COOL. Syd's all, uh, yeah, speed freak. Real nice of you to say so, but I think I'm just gonna head over to Strategic Services and draw ugly pictures of you on the wipe board. Later! Syd walks off, and Killjoy seriously looks after her like Syd's made of fried chicken and she hasn't eaten since 1972.
Hospital Room Of Hallucinations That BETTER Be Real Sometime Soon. Captain Coma's sleeping. He wakes and sees Syd, sleeping in a chair by his bed. He whispers her name. She wakes and is all, dude! You're awake! Baby! Come to me! Oh. Wait. You can't. I'll come over there. She sits on the bed, and Vaughn asks where he is. She tells him he's home. "You stabbed me," he says with a grin. "Sorry," says Syd plainly. Hee. She takes his hand and starts to cry when she's all, you're okay and I was so afraid I lost you and I know this is only a dream sequence but can we make out for a little bit? Vaughn obviously thinks that's a good idea because he caresses her face for a second. Syd gets all weepy again, and even though this whole scene isn't real, JG totally nails the emotions here.
"Leaving you like that, not knowing if I'd ever see you again," she says, her following words blurting out in a rush, "made me realize how much I miss you." "I miss you too," he whispers. "You do?" she says. "Yep," he says, "now can we make out?" Syd leans in and they kiss, and even before The Serious Strings of Impending Doom shriek in our ears, we know something's rotten in Demark over here. Syd kind of looks up without leaving the kiss and then stabs Vaughn in the side. D'oh! No nookie for Captain Coma. "How could you do this to me?" hisses Dream Sequence Syd, looking extremely pale and actually kind of creepy.
