Vaughn pipes up that Syd seemed like she was struggling back in the Dream Dugout when she was under. He wants to know what was happening to her. Syd informs them that she fought herself and then killed herself. The Dream Team has absolutely no answer for this little revelation. Syd goes on to say that she heard herself say that it was the Covenant who had her, and that it wasn't an accident that she doesn't remember anything. Jack reveals that Creepy Cronenberg discovered that Syd's memory of the Lost Years has been removed and that, judging by the precision of the removal, Syd might have been a willing participant. Syd's all, the whuh? In the whuh whuh? I don't get it. Vaughn's all, neither did Creepy Cronenberg.
And with that, we're off to lovely Hell-Lay, where Sloane's engaging in a little clandestine meeting with the Dream Team, sans Sydney. Jack wants to know if Penis Head's still biting. Okay, that so doesn't sound right. Sloane avers that Lindsay seems to believe Syd's being held by the Covenant, considering that he's agreed to the Rambaldi device exchange. Sloane asks where Sydney is. Jack's all, she's baking cookies for the state fair, dude, what do YOU care? Sloane's all, pursuing a lead, eh? All 'cuz she met with that crazy doc I sent you to? So he was helpful, no? Vaughn's all, yeah, if by "helpful" you mean "almost killed her once and then let her go into a dream state with my wife's doppelganger." Jack says something about how the NSC is expecting a final call from the Covenant agreeing to the exchange, and he wants Sloane to make the call. In the meantime, Jack and Vaughn are gonna head on back to the CIA and make Penis Head think they haven't been in contact with Syd during their little hiatus. "I've instructed Sydney to contact you when she's ready to return," he says, turning to give Vaughn a look that says, "We are SO done here." Jack walks back to the car, and Vaughn remains. He looks at Sloane and says, "I just wanted to say, for the record, concerning this exchange -- Sydney's life is in your hands. If you betray her, I swear to you, no matter what it costs me, I will kill you." Aw. Good ex-boyfriend! "No need to worry, Agent Vaughn," says Sloane calmly. "I love her too." Vaughn kind of looks like, "Hey, wait a minute! I never said -- oh, hell. Of course I love her! C'mere, you old lug!" But instead of hugging him, Vaughn just looks at Sloane with a tense expression and we fade to black…
…only to wind up in…Wisconsin? Um, what? Okay, I'm sorry. That had to make J.J. and crew laugh their asses off. A push-through with "Wisconsin"? I guess it only makes sense. We've been to Kuala Lumpur, Russia, Iceland, Argentina, and now…Wisconsin. The last exotic locale on the planet. Pass the cheese, people. This is gonna be good.
