She glares at Will as she shuts the door behind Bellboy. He's all, whuh? Whuh? What'd I do? Come on! If we're gonna do this, we have to be real about it! Heh. Syd opens the room door and looks out, looking for, um, stormtroopers? I don't know. Because they're not on a known assignment, right? What in the HELL is she looking for? She makes sure the "Do Not Disturb" sign is on the outside of the door and then tells Will he was a bit over the top. Will's all, dude? How many chances do I get to BE OVER THE TOP? Huh? "I'm wearing seat coverings," he says, "there is no 'over the top.'" Heh. He opens up a guitar case and removes the guitar, revealing a laptop. Syd grabs some device and heads to the widescreen TV. "Plus, I like champagne," he says. "You keep forgetting, I live in Wisconsin now. This is the only chance I have to do something cooler than tipping cows or buying underage kids booze! I'm not squandering this!"
"Call up the onscreen checkout," says Syd, brandishing the remote control and handing it to Will. She continues to do something funky behind the TV. Will presses a button, and the onscreen checkout comes onscreen. He's all, you have to admit, my accent was pretty good. Oh, Will. Your accent was perfect. Melissa? You hearing this? "It was, like, early Stones," says Will. "I thought it was Australian," says Syd. Shout-out? I think we'll take it as such. Will's all, are you kidding? Then he repeats several phrases he spoke while being Rock Star Will that, actually, make him sound like a tool. Sigh. Will picks English from the onscreen checkout menu and goes through the motions as Syd futzes some more with the TV. Syd comes out, grabs her laptop from Will, and parks it on the sofa.
Syd wants to get past the hotel firewalls and see if she was ever in Graz. As her perky pink and black hair goes out for a second cosmo and a cigarette, Syd uses her laptop to hack into the hotel reservation system and find her alter ego, Julia. Will's all, what're we looking for? Syd's all, long-term storage contracts. People who've stored stuff at the hotel for a long period of time. A list flies past the computer screen. Syd finds "Julia Thorne" in a matter of seconds. "Unbelievable," says Will. Oh, Will. You've been away from Alias for too damn long. This isn't unbelievable! It's apropos! Julia Thorne's treasure can be found in Box 23. Syd's all, let's see if they have a floor plan online. Will's all, what if they don't? Oh, Will. Again. Have you learned NOTHING from being in Alias-world? Of COURSE they have a floor plan online! "Think positively," says Syd, as the floor plan comes up on the screen. She's all, subbasement, just past the northeast quarter. Will's all, what about security? He grabs something from the guitar case. Syd's all, I'm almost done with these surveillance cameras, let's move. She closes her laptop. Heh.
