Syd enters but The Willage Idiot Players never get a chance to give Sydney the third degree because Syd just wants to crash. She leaves and Francie whispers to Willage, "I can't believe you didn't say anything!" Willage responds, screwing up his face in a really adorable way, "That's why I wanted to strategize!" Hee. They're killing me over here.
Credit Dauphine. Syd's getting onto the elevator as Bunny follows, demanding that she go away with him. Syd tells him that this is all happening too fast. Instead of assuring her that it isn't too fast and that he loves her with every ounce of his being, Bunny goes on to ramble about some software program that he used to skim money off the Russian mob and how he's got oodles of cash in different offshore accounts. Syd's all, um, that's great but, like, do you love me or what? Bunny's all, I'm gettin' out and I want you to get out with me. Syd's all, you know I can't do that, and get some sort of suctioning system for that mealy mouth of yours, okay? You're totally grossing me out, dude.
Bunny keeps pressing the issue until Syd finally confesses that she's searching for her mother and then spills the whole Spy Momsky-Russian spy story. "I'm not going anywhere," says Syd, "until I know where she is." Bunny wants to know if he were to wait for her, would she ever run away with him? Syd just cryptically smiles and walks away.
Uncle Arvin's Office of Underhand Tactics and Meddlesome Methods. Some random agent hands Sloane a file on Bunny. Sloane looks it over as the Ominous Music of Good Agents Gone Bad plays. Did anyone else out there even DOUBT that Bunny was a bad egg? Didn't think so. Sloane instructs the random agent to tell McCullogh (the Spy Inquisitor) that Sloane needs to see him, and not to let Bunny leave the building.
Elsewhere in the building, Syd drops in on Spy Daddy. Syd hesitatingly asks Spy Daddy about his therapy. Spy Daddy cuts her off, telling her that he took care of it. Syd changes tack and mentions something about Marshall unlocking the core computer. Once again, Spy Daddy cuts her off, spitting out something about how, if he'd been consulted about her last mission, he wouldn't have let her go. He goes on to say that the information recovered from the core computer revealed nothing about Kasineau's whereabouts, operations, plans, or cache of Rambaldi artifacts.
Syd's not giving up that easily. She mentions that she saw some files on her mother. Spy Daddy's all, yup, we saw that. We also recovered some useless archival video footage of yer mom that was taken AFTER she was supposedly dead. Wanna see it? Syd's all, hey, unless it's porn, I'm not really all that interested. Spy Daddy storms out after announcing that, since the core computer didn't have anything helpful in the Kasineau situation, the entire operation was a useless risk. Spy Barbie just stares at the floor in a futile attempt to locate the central plot line of this episode.
