Syd goes stalking into the office and I swear, for a second there, she looked like both Nadia AND Irina. Bizarre. Speaking of Nadia, she stops Syd and asks after Dix. Syd stops to talk to her and we catch up with Vaughn as he walks and talks on the phone with the DCI. Marshall hollers that he has something and Vaughn walks over to see what it is. Marshall has some data blocks that are still intact from the DSR break-in, which means they can positively ID some of Elena's buddies. The Apple Store is in general chaos, with everyone on the phone or chatting or walking or walking and chatting at the same time. Syd gets on the phone and digs up every flight manifest to and from Prague. We see a picture of her mother up on her computer screen and can deduce that Syd's trying to track down her un-corpse of a parent.
Elsewhere at the Apple Store, Weiss is instructing his boyfriend Vaughn to shit or get off the pot already in regard to asking Syd to marry him. Weiss is all, dude. You ask her? Vaughn's all, dude. Now is not the time. Weiss is all, oh, what? When would be time? It's not like you have a ring burning a hole in your pock-- oh. You DO have a ring burning a hole in your pocket. Nice. Vaughn looks totally embarrassed by this realization and Weiss makes it worse by totally laughing at him. Hee.
Marshall bursts into Jack's office and announces that Jonski Voightskovich from the last episode is actually Covenant and that he made some calls from the same place and at the same time as Dixon saw Irina. Unfortunately, tracking Jonski is gonna take some time. Jack orders Marshall to head over to Sloane's computer and access the Blackwell Index in order to speed up the process of tracking Jonski down. Marshall's all, uh, the Blackwell Index? But I thought Sloane gave that over to Langley? Did he? Jack? Anyone? Bueller?
Meanwhile, Vaughn meanders over to Nadia's desk in an effort to avoid asking Sydney to marry him. He asks Nadia how she's doing and she says she's trying to stay focused. Vaughn looks down and sees Nadia looking at Martin Bishop's file. "He killed my mother supposedly," she says. "If she's alive, then the CIA obviously missed something." Yeah, big emphasis on that there "supposedly," Nadia. Vaughn's all, uhhhh, yeah, dude. Researching Martin Bishop isn't probably the most productive use of your time, you know? Nadia's all, the huh? Vaughn's all, talk to Jack. Then he runs off elsewhere in an effort to delay his proposal just a wee bit more.
