After the break, we catch up with Vivica and Jack in her cell. This scene? Also kind of unnecessary. I mean, the acting's great and everything, but Jack's there to find out where Sloane is, Vivica wants something in return for her intel, Jack gives it to her, Vivica talks and…well…end of story, really. Vivica wants time served if she helps Jack get Sloane. She designed a killer system for Sloane two years ago, but she only drew up the specs; the actual job was contracted out. So, she actually doesn't know where the system was installed. "But you could find out," grits Jack. "I probably could," sasses Vivica. Jack sizes her up and finally agrees to the time served deal, saying he can have it in writing within the hour. "Now, what do you need?" he asks. Vivica just smirks at him.
Meanwhile, on a plane somewhere, Vaughn's keeping with the crazy as he tells Syd that he talked to Dixon, and by the time they land, they might have a location for Sloane. Syd's all, yeah, tell it to someone else, DAHMER. What you did to SDAP was bullshit. Vaughn's all, oh, yeah? Well, you wouldn't say that if I'd gotten something outta him. Syd's all, dude? That is SO not the point. Vaughn's all, yeah, I know. The point is, we're trying to find your sister, remember? They continue bickering and bitching at each other, pretty much getting nowhere. Vaughn was out of line, he knows it, Syd knows it, we know it, and he's about thisclose to going David Koresh on our asses. "This is about you," says Syd, "and what I saw scared me." "Yeah, well, it scared me too," says Vaughn. "What I'm willing to do to find her…when I was with [SDAP], all I could think of was, if we could get to Sloane, we'll get to her. Now, I want to find your sister…but I need to find my wife." Watch it, Vaughn. You're so bitter you're lemon-fresh. Vaughn continues that Moronen can't be allowed to get away with what she's done. Syd's all, yeah, well, she just might, cowboy. And you're gonna have to be prepared to deal with that. Vaughn just glowers off into the corner, followed closely by his little hovering black cloud of hate.
Vivica's Villa. V's putting on some killer lipstick, the first time she's probably seen the color red in months. Marshall's sitting behind her, geeking on about how she got a gigajoule from a gas generator. They exchange some geekspeak as Marshall tells V that the program he's designed will search multiple databases for any shipments of the equipment necessary to build the security system V designed. V's impressed by the size of Marshall's…brain. She asks him how long it took him to come up with that program, and he just modestly responds that he did it on his lunch break. V sidles up to him and says, "I want you." Marshall looks up. "C-come again?" Hee. "To work for me," continues V. "How much do they pay you?" Marshall's all, uh, a lot. A lot a lot a lot. V tells him that if he works with her, she'll give him a base of a million a year. Marshall turns her down, saying that he gets really good medical, and pulls out a picture of little Mitchell. He likes working for the good guys, thanks. No offense. Women like V don't get easily offended, so they end on a good note.
