Kendall confirms that she joined SD-6, but Sydney explains that they tricked her into believing they were actually CIA. She had her evaluation phase as an office assistant at Credit Dauphine. After six months there, they told her she was ready for her spy training. Over the course of eight months, Sydney learned all there is to know about spying. Oh, okay. So that's why they had to make Sydney a genius. It's the only way anybody would swallow that horse pill. Eventually she found out about SD-6 and was lead to believe it was the "black ops" division of the CIA, performing highly classified missions of which even congressional oversight committees had no knowledge. Kendall is skeptical that Sydney didn't find this suspect. She claims they were very believable. Jennifer Garner has this look of resignation on her face like, "I didn't write this. Just go with it, okay?" SD-6 took Sydney to their secret headquarters beneath the building and brought her into the spy fold. She thought she was being "patriotic" by joining them. Heh. There she met Arvin Sloane for the first time. She sits and stares at Kendall and asks what will happen if she needs to go to the bathroom. Kendall says it would be arranged.
Cut to a warehouse, where Agent Anxious is having a secret meeting with Spy Daddy. Neither of them has had any luck finding details about Sydney's predicament. Jack is concerned, because Sloane wants to have a meeting with Sydney on Tuesday (and since we don't know what day it is, I have no idea how far away that is). Vaughn hopes the FBI doesn't take the prophecy as seriously as DSR did last episode, but Spy Daddy says that, "in the current climate," the FBI is being very careful and looking hard at anybody another agency tags as a possible threat. Yeah, but…okay, okay. I'll just go with it. Vaughn asks if Sydney's cover could be blown with SD-6. You'd think that giant forehead would house a larger brain. Duh. Barbie in chains means no speakie with bad man, Vaughn. Jack tells Vaughn that Directive 81A allows the government to imprison Sydney forever and ever with no trial. I want to know what that directive actually says.
