Wow. That's an EXCELLENT shot of a plane hanging from strings in front of a painting of clouds. Really. Sorry. Don't mean to be cynical. I just need a nap in the WORST way and there's still twenty bloody minutes left to this episode. Gah.
Right. So. Our Treacherous Trio is having a pow-wow in the cargo hold of this plane. The plan is for Spy Daddy to hand over the page and the ampoule in exchange for Willage. By the time he has Willage in pocket, however, Syd and Vaughn will have had to not only destroy "The Circumference" but the lab as well. Syd's all, oh, killing "The Circumference" should be easy; it's, like, eensy. But the lab's another story. Spy Daddy hands over some mercury charges. Somebody buzzes from the cockpit, and Syd goes to see if they need coffee, tea, or some help with their "control panels."
While she's gone, Spy Daddy and Vaughn have a father/son chit-chat about how Spy Daddy understands the risks Vaughn's taking and how he respects him for that. That's all he had to do to win Sydney's hand? Travel to Taipei in pursuit of the kidnapped Willage and agree to blow up a laboratory? Wow. Some guys have it so damn easy.
Oh, Jesus. We're back with SDAP and Hamburger Will. SDAP talks to Sark about how, if Hamburger Will knew anything about "The Circumference," they'd have heard it by now. Sark's all, yeah, I thought he didn't know anything about it. Oh, well. Tea, anyone? Sark tells SDAP to prepare Hamburger Will for the exchange, and walks off.
Hamburger Will's still leaking blood from his gaping maw. SDAP walks in and approaches Willage. He signals to his men to remove the shackles. Willage just sits there and drools blood. Suddenly, once his shackles are removed, Willage goes completely apeshit. He leaps away from the guards, charges over to the instrument tray, grabs the needle with the scary stuff in it, and flings himself at SDAP, plunging the needle into his neck. "ONE IN FIVE, YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Willage shouts. Hee! Looks like our little Will took some time on his lunch hour the other day to stop by the Testosterone Emporium and pick himself up a new set o' balls.
The guards manage to pull Will, who is now cackling like a deranged madman, off SDAP and drag him out of the room. SDAP, meanwhile, looks like he just might be the "one" in the "one in five."
At the same time, in a beach house far, far away, Uncle Arvin's breathing deeply while listening to opera. Oh, and he's also putting some sort of powder into a glass of wine. He brings the wine to the dinner table where Auntie Em's sitting. She's sporting a snazzy new cancer-free headscarf and some make-up, but she looks rather tense. Perhaps that's because her husband's a sadistic murderer and she's about thisclose to joining the roster of People Sloane's Made Dead.
